In Patagonia, during the summer, night is slow to arrive. After dinner by the light of the stars, a horseback excursion affords a sense of the plain and the denseness of the forest. Sounds play a key role until the eyes adapt to the shadows and to the road that leads to Nahuel Huapi, where, on its shores, visitors pause to admire the city lights of Bariloche.

Guests of Design Suites Bariloche often tell stories like this one above. Experiences that bear the hallmark of this architecturally distinctive design hotel, which is located 1.2 miles away from the city, on a slope above Nahuel Huapi. An oval-shaped modern structure houses the reception desk and the central amenities, and the multi-story buildings, the guest rooms with views of the lake.
Wood and warm colors blend harmoniously in each room. In the hotel’s ample rooms, the jacuzzi is located by the wall of windows. Mapuche rugs, design furniture and geometric shaped panels complete the style of this unique space. Works created especially for the hotel by local artists are featured in the hotel’s gallery and also in the guest rooms.
Lush coigue trees perfume the air by the swimming pool. As you gaze at its water, your eyes are inevitably drawn toward Nahuel Huapi, and then up to the peaks of the mountain range, with their perpetual snow.
In the restaurant Monet, the colors of the landscape filter in through the glass walls. The blue of the lake contrasts with the blond wood tables, the red-upholstered armchairs and the dark chairs. The perfect harmony of the decor invites enjoyment of the delicate flavors of the cuisine.
