Hotel Tronador

Family-run Hotel Tronador was our first stop on a longer trip through Patagonia and remained the highlight throughout. 
The location is absolutely stunning between mountains and the lake. The owners and staff were lovely and so helpful and the food was excellent. 
We tried a horseback ride through some of the back country as well as fishing in the lake and both were wonderful. Our sons could not remember a time when they had better fishing anywhere!
We also explored some of the shorter hiking options and would have loved to do more had we had more time. Definitely a place we’d want to come back to in the future and very special.

Simply a stunning location, incredibly peaceful, good friendly service and excellent facilities. Could not recommend it more!
Fantastic hiking and other activities on your doorstep. 
Hope to come back at some point in the future.

My wife and I spent five days at this beautiful hotel on the shores of Lake Mascardi, a couple hours outside of Bariloche. From the moment you arrive, it's like being taken back in time. Beautiful landscaping, rustic lodging, hearty meals and a variety of excursions are all included. And did I mention the lake?

Every aspect of the property and the stay are taken care of. One day we rode horses to their outpost and they provided a wonderful asado lunch. Another evening they had a bbq on the beach of the lake. One morning we were taken across the lake by boat and provided with a picnic lunch as a break for our hiking. The last day we were taken also by boat to an island where we went swimming and then another cookout on the beach.

The meals are all included, and other than the excursions, they were provided in the dining room where you at assigned tables alongside the other guests. Almost all of the other guests were from Buenos Aires, and many of them have been coming for years, even decades. Current grandmother (and grand daughter of the founder) Beatrix makes you feel at home. Her two sons, Bennie and Alejandro, most run the day to day operations and excursions. Several other family members, including grandson Tomas, also pitch in.

Coming from the United States, take the short flight from Buenos Aires to Bariloche, have a driver bring you from the airport to the hotel (you won't have any need for a car there), unplug your cell phone and enjoy!

We first visited this hotel 3 years ago and we came back from Wisconsin, a long ways, for a second stay.  It is not easy to get to, but it is well worth it once you get there.  The view from the hotel is spectacular, the service is great, and 3 meals a day are included in your room rate.  We especially like the Asada, or outdoor barbecue, and the rafting excursion they organized.  If it were not so far away, we would visit there every year.

We spent Xmas Eve with family. A nice gathering with all the families at the lodge with Santa Claus visit included. The place is beautiful and “homy”. 
The food is delicious and the family who owns the place, makes you feel as you were at home. Spectacular sightseeing and lots of trecking trails to recon. Flyfishing, horse riding, canoeing and boat riding are available to explore this lovely place I call “my place on earth”.
A must to visit and stay at least a couple of days to enjoy the staying. 

We spent 5 days in this wonderful hotel, run by its owners. We had a room with a stunning view of tha Mascardi lake, spacious and very clean. The bed was king size and very comfortable. The bathroom had everything you needed. (I would suggest an upgrade in toiletries, a minor detail. )
The hotel is on the lake, the views are breathtaking. Its garden is beautiful, and it has a small beach and a pier.
We did several of the walks suggested by the very detailed brochure they provide. Each of them was easy to follow and led to a picture-perfect corner.. 
They also provide fishing tours, your catch will be cooked for you to enjoy at dinner. 
Meals are home-made, (here I could also suggest a wider variety, we had meat every day). Desserts were delicious, though. There is nowhere to buy any groceries nearby, but the hotel provides everything you might need.
The hotel is an hour and a half away from Bariloche airport. The last part of the road, once you’ve entered the Parque Nacional , is gravel and one way, there is an allotted time to drive towards and from the hotel. 
If you need to disconnect and relax, Tronador is your best choice. You just need to bring your walking shoes and comfortable clothes. In the evening you can sit by the fire with a good book to watch the lake reflect the mountains painted red by the setting sun.
It opens from November to April.


Hotel Tronador must be the best kept secret in the Bariloche region. The hotel is situated in an idyllic location on the shore of Lake Mascardi. It is the only hotel in the national park. If you're looking for the real Patagonian unspoilt wilderness - this is the place for you. The views from the hotel are simply stunning, there are many varied hiking trails for all levels, the hospitality is warm and welcoming, the food is also great. This is a very special hotel, rich in family history.

We spent two nights in one of the two bungalows in Feb.   The location is beautiful and the staff are extremely welcoming.   Although  my Spanish is quite limited I was able to communicate with several of the staff in English.   Our room was small, but the bed was comfortable and the view from our room was amazing. The food is good, not great and comes from a fixed menu.   They were able to make some changes for us. There were a number of well marked trails around the lodge.  We fly fished on the lake and caught some nice trout.   I suggest having a guide and a boat as the fishing is challenging.

If you like nature, fishing, great views, trekking and good food, this is your place!!!! We spent 4 days in the hotel while we did as much trails as we can. You have plenty of near trails to choose nearby. The hotel packs lunch for your walk and you can stop and have a picnic by a river or in the mountain. You can also go fishing on a boat arranging with them time and day that suits you best. Meals are abundant and delicious. The staff is super nice and eager to help. The hotel is by the lake so you can have a bath or sun bath anytime you'd like to. Wifi is not the best in the rooms but by the 2nd day you won't be in need of it! There so many things to do in the area, that coming back to a great dinner and comfortable beds are all you need! Definitely a must to visit and enjoy!

Words are not enough to describe how amazing Hotel Tronador is. Everything about this place is perfect - the location by a lake flanked by a snow capped mountain, the rose garden, Beatrice the owner and her beautiful family that took care of us, the attention to detail, the food,  the hiking, horseback riding and rafting opportunities - - I can go on. Me and my husband were living/working in Buenos Aires as newlyweds, when we first visited this place. It was then that we had planned on returning for our 25th Anniversary and luckily we were able to do so in Dec 2017. Thanks to Beatrice, her grandson Jose and all the other family members and staff of Hotel Tronador for giving us yet another memorable trip.
