Although we read all the reviews before making our decision, we still decided to stay at Design Suites. Sometimes its hard to know whether to take others advise from the reviews and I would say to all readers to take the advise of the review on Design Suites in El Calafate – the fittings in the rooms are falling apart... more

The hotel is not in the city center, but offers round trip transportation to the center of Calafate. The lake front apartment is very spacious, well decorated and pleasant. The bathroom also very large, beautiful and a bathtub with a glass wall dividing the room. The breakfast options were quite juice, breads, cold and care of the hotel was spectacular.... more

Trust me when I say "the reviews on this hotel are TRUE". This hotel looks great from the outside and within as well. The lobby is very nicely renovated and so are the rooms. The lake view is breathtaking and so are the sunsets. Breakfast was average but plenty to choose from. Now for the BAD news. The Hotel is... more

Another part of our big South American trip. After catching the bus from Puerto Natales, Chile we arrived in Calafate. The hotel is located to the north west of the main township facing the beautiful lake and benefits from awesome views. The problem with the location is that it is down wind of the open air tip. We were amazed... more

Just an amazingly designed hotel. A fantasic experience with the hotel and the glaciers.

The front desk staff was accomodating including, arranging for tours, suggesting restaurants and arranging for massages. The facility... more

The Design Suites Calafate was the third stop after having stayed at La Faena, in Buenos Aires, and Llao Llao in Bariloche. On the positive side, the hotel has a beautiful view of the Lake, a nice looking pool and wifi internet access. Normally you can overlook some shortcomings such as the limited service restaurant (pizza, sandwiches for lunch), distance... more

LIked this hotel, staff were nice on the front desk. Rooms were nice and warm but the bathroom could have done with a bit of scrubbing. Everywhere else seemed nice and clean though and couldnt really find fault. We were out of the hotel on excursions most days and got packed lunches from the hotel which i would recommend, very... more

This hotel is truly excellent and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful at all times. Situated a few hundred metres from the lake there are stunning views. The hotel has internet, a great pool area and is nicely decorated in a quirky style. Breakfast we found to be fine with plenty of continental style variety. There is a regular... more
