I tried to find a photo of this hotel that did its location some justice, but this was all I could find. The large building is the reception area and the rooms are located on two floors on both sides of the reception area. The major attraction is that this hotel is located at the east side of the Torres Del Paine mountain range which, lest you forget, looks like this:
OK, I can't get these two pictures to be side by side, but when you look at them from the front,' i.e looking north, the one with the most snow on top is to the left (or west) of the glacially carved, 'Cuernos del Paine.' The hotel is located to the east (looking at the right side) of Cuernos. It's sort of a base camp for hikers who want to do some arduous hiking around, on, in this incredible range. To give you a sense of just how HUGE these mountains are, the taller of the two peaks in the photo of the snow-covered (actually a glacier) mountain is a little over 10,000 feet. I couldn't take my eyes off these mountains - they are simply magnificent. We were extremely fortunate in the weather for the time we were there. Most of our days looked like this.
