Elan is a nice hotel in a bad location. Rooms are spacious, nicely decorated and clean. On the other hand the hotel itself is far from town (hotel provides an hourly shuttle, but it's pretty inconvenient to take since it doesn't run around lunch and stops at 10pm). Taking cabs back and forth can up quickly (about $4 for a... more

The hotel is beautiful. It´s lobby is well decorated and the room is good. The breakfast is excellent. The problem is that Elan El calafate is far from downtown.There's a transfer service but very limited.(ok that taxis cost only 12-15 pesos one way). I recommen this hotel. more

This hotel was an excellent bargain for the money! The hotel was comfortable, clean, and inviting. The setting of El Calafate is beautiful so you can't go wrong with the scenery and views. The breakfast buffett was also really hearty - great crossants! They also had high speed computers in the lobby which was excellent for checking email while waiting... more

We stayed at the Elan following Tripadvisor reviews, particulalry swayed by the added perk of being last to be picked up and first to be dropped off for excursions. The hotel is lovely and modern with amazing views of Lago Argentino and a large garden. The service went out of their way to accommodate us. For example, we arrived at... more

The property is a bit outside El Calafate and during the night it is better to go back and forth with a taxi, which is really cheap (around 1 or 2 dollars per... more

I stayed with my husband at Elan Hotel for a whole week. The only thing that I can say is that it was a very positive experience. The hotel was completely renewed in June this year and it turned into a very beautiful and modern place. The staff was really nice and helpful. Our room was very clean and had... more

I am writing this as I stay at this place mid February 08. The place is of a nice contemporary design as is commonplace today in Argentina. That`s as far as it goes. The hotel is 2 years old and it already shows need of maintenance, since construction quality is quite shoddy. Staff is nice but clearly there is an... more

Stayed at the Elan for 3 nights from Oct 9-Oct 12. New property that they said just opened Dec 2006. Service was great and everyone was v nice and helpful though if you don't have any Spanish skills it might be tough. There was 1 person who spoke English and everyone else knew some a little. The rooms were basic... more
