Discover why Hotel Las Torres is an ideal base for exploring Torres del Paine, with direct access to iconic trails, guided excursions, local gastronomy, and the comfort of staying inside the National Park. 

Choosing where to stay in Torres del Paine can completely shape your travel experience. Staying at a hotel inside Torres del Paine National Park is very different from visiting the park from nearby towns or surrounding areas. Waking up in one of the most iconic landscapes of Chilean Patagonia means having direct access to trails, guided excursions, and services designed to help you rest after each day of exploration.

Located inside Torres del Paine National Park, at the foot of Mount Almirante Nieto and close to the starting point of the Base Torres trail, Hotel Las Torres is an ideal option for travelers looking for comfort, nature, and an authentic connection with the territory. More than just a place to sleep, it is a strategic base for exploring the park, joining excursions, enjoying local gastronomy, and experiencing Patagonia with every detail taken care of from the moment you arrive.


Staying inside Torres del Paine National Park

Location is one of Hotel Las Torres’ greatest advantages. As a hotel in Torres del Paine located inside the National Park itself, it allows travelers to make the most of each day and reduce transfer times to some of the area’s main attractions.

From the hotel, guests can access the starting point of iconic routes such as the Base Torres trail, as well as some of Patagonia’s most renowned trekking circuits. This is especially valuable for those who want to begin their excursions early, walk at a more relaxed pace, and enjoy the landscape at different times of day.

Staying inside the park also creates a deeper sense of immersion. The natural surroundings are present from sunrise to nightfall: mountains, pampas, open skies, wildlife, and trails that begin just a short distance from the hotel.

 

How to get to Hotel Las Torres 

There are different ways to reach Hotel Las Torres, depending on where your journey begins. From Puerto Natales, the overland trip takes approximately two hours. This is one of the most common routes for travelers who first arrive in the city before continuing on to the park.

 

From Punta Arenas, the journey is longer and can take around six hours, depending on road conditions. It is also possible to arrive from El Calafate, Argentina, crossing the border and connecting with the park entrance by road.

For travelers who book organized programs, such as the Las Torres Patagonia All Inclusive, transfers are included, simplifying logistics and making the arrival experience more comfortable.

 

The best location for the Base Torres trek 

One of the main reasons to stay at Hotel Las Torres is its proximity to the Base Torres trail, one of the most iconic hikes in Torres del Paine.

This route leads to the viewpoint where you can see the three granite towers that give the park its name. It is a demanding excursion, but also one of the most sought-after experiences for travelers from around the world. Starting close to the trailhead allows you to make better use of the day, begin early, and return to the hotel without needing additional transfers at the end of the hike.

For those planning to do this trek, Hotel Las Torres offers a clear advantage: it is close to the starting point and provides the comfort, gastronomy, and support needed before and after the hike.

 

Comfort and rest after a day of exploration 

Exploring Torres del Paine means walking, adapting to Patagonia’s changing weather, and spending long hours outdoors. That is why rest is an essential part of the experience.

As a hotel in Torres del Paine designed for comfort, Hotel Las Torres offers rooms with central heating, private bathrooms, and views of the natural surroundings, whether toward Mount Almirante Nieto, the gardens, or the landscape around the hotel. After a day of trekking or excursions, returning to a comfortable room helps you recover your energy and prepare for another day in the park.

The hotel also offers spaces designed for relaxation, including a spa, sauna, and massage treatments. These services are especially valued by travelers who take part in multi-day hikes or more demanding excursions during their stay.

 

Patagonian gastronomy with local identity 

The Hotel Las Torres experience is also expressed through its gastronomy. Its culinary proposal combines local products, recipes inspired by Patagonia, and a sustainable approach connected to the territory.

One of its most distinctive elements is Las Torres Patagonia’s biointensive garden, which provides some of the vegetables and herbs used in the kitchen. This system makes it possible to grow ingredients within the same territory, reducing distances and strengthening a culinary experience that is closely linked to its surroundings.

The hotel also features spaces such as Bar Pionero, where the cocktail menu incorporates local ingredients such as calafate, rhubarb, and native herbs. Another highlight is the glass recycling initiative, which transforms used bottles into new glasses for the bar, bringing sustainability into the guest’s everyday experience.

This proposal is complemented by the new El Galpón Restaurant, a 2,000-square-meter space inspired by traditional Patagonian shearing sheds, with a menu that celebrates flavors from across the territory. The hotel’s gastronomy seeks to offer a complete experience, where the landscape and local identity are also reflected at the table.

 

All Inclusive in Torres del Paine: a simple way to organize your trip 

Planning a trip to Torres del Paine can involve many decisions: transfers, accommodation, meals, excursions, schedules, weather conditions, and available routes. For travelers looking for a more comfortable and organized experience, the Las Torres Patagonia All Inclusive program brings much of that logistics together from the beginning.

The program includes accommodation at Hotel Las Torres, meals, drinks, guided excursions, transfers, and more. This allows travelers to focus on enjoying the park without having to coordinate every detail separately.

The excursions are also guided by teams who know the territory, the weather conditions, and the characteristics of each trail. This makes it possible to adapt the experience according to each visitor’s interests and activity level, from iconic hikes to more relaxed routes through different areas of the park.

 

Excursions from Hotel Las Torres 

Hotel Las Torres is a strategic starting point for experiencing some of the most recognized activities in Torres del Paine.

Among the highlights is the Base Torres trek, one of the park’s most iconic hikes. Guests can also explore areas such as the French Valley, take boat trips across glacial lakes, visit panoramic viewpoints, or join guided horseback rides led by local baqueanos.

Horseback riding is an important part of Las Torres Patagonia’s identity, connected to the history of the territory and the family legacy of the former estancia. This experience offers a different way to explore the pampas, accompanied by guides with deep knowledge of the local culture.

For the 2026–2027 season, a new puma observation experience will also be introduced, focused on learning more about this feline and its role in the Patagonian ecosystem. The activity is developed under a responsible approach, with specialized guides and knowledge connected to the conservation work carried out in the territory.

 

An option for different types of travelers 

Although Torres del Paine is known worldwide for its trekking circuits, not every traveler is looking for the same level of intensity. Hotel Las Torres makes it possible to adapt the experience to different travel styles.

Those seeking more demanding hikes can access routes such as Base Torres or connect with longer circuits. Travelers who prefer a slower pace can choose panoramic excursions, horseback rides, cultural activities, wildlife observation, or moments of rest at the hotel.

This makes Hotel Las Torres an ideal hotel in Torres del Paine for couples, families, older travelers, trekking enthusiasts, and people who want to discover the park without necessarily doing multi-day hikes.

 

Why choose Hotel Las Torres to explore Torres del Paine 

Hotel Las Torres brings together several elements that make the park experience simpler and more complete: a location inside Torres del Paine, proximity to iconic trails, organized programs, local gastronomy, guided activities, and spaces designed for rest.

Its main value lies in serving as a base inside the park. From there, each day can begin with an excursion, a hike, a horseback ride, or a moment of connection with the landscape, without losing time on unnecessary transfers.
