Hotel Territorio
This hotel is small enough to be classified as an inn (36 r ooms),
but considers itself upscale enough to be a fiv e-star. The hotel itself does not cr y for
attention, and y ou may ev en miss it for ho w well it blends into the natural setting. I t's
built in an inconspicuous style with local materials such as stone and tin sheeting. Inside,
it seems they are still trying to figure things out. The views are superb: The lobby, restau-
rant, and bar look out o ver the water and hav e towering windows and a sleek, modern
look. Rooms are the largest in to wn, and all face the water to v arying degrees. They too
feel natural, with washed-cement floors, cr eam walls, dar k-wood furnitur e, and crisp
white linens. Bathrooms are long and narrow, and all have small tubs with ocean vie ws.
There is also a spa that's not always open. By far, Territorio is the ambitious, comfortable,
and stylish lodging option.

Hostería Solar de la Costa
Finds
An oceanfront inn in an upscale neighborhood,
the Hostería Solar de la Costa has a br eezy feeling. Most of the r ooms are doubles with
king-size beds, tiny televisions, and clean, compact bathr ooms. R ooms that face the
ocean cost the same as those facing the gar den, so r eserve early to get the fr ont ones.
Top-floor rooms sleep four and hav e a fully equipped kitchen and a J acuzzi. All r ooms
have air-conditioning. B reakfast includes home-baked br eads, pastries, and pies. A big
shady garden out back has a barbecue. Ov erall, this place has a friendly, relaxed feel.

Tips
C all Ahead
Although reservations are not required anywhere in Puerto Madryn, you can usu-
ally score a better table and a warmer greeting if you call ahead. Even if you don't
arrive exactly on time, the mere fact that your name is on a “list” gives you a bit
more leeway with the waitstaff. If you see a table you like (by a window, for
example) and you have a reservation, they are more likely to give it to you. If you
plan to come around 9:30pm, you'll find most places packed. For earlier diners
(7:30-8:30pm), you should have less of a problem.
