Design Suites Bariloche has been awarded the Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2025 title for Best Luxury Scenic View Hotel in Río Negro, Argentina. Situated on the shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake, the hotel is celebrated for its striking designer interiors, panoramic lake vistas, and world-class wellness facilities, offering guests a compelling fusion of location, design, and personalised service.

Since opening in 2004 under the guidance of Founder/Director Daniel Mochón, Design Suites Bariloche has earned a reputation for immersive Patagonian experiences and accommodation that harmonises elegantly with its natural surroundings. The property’s 78 rooms and suites feature private jacuzzis and sweeping lake views, complemented by an art gallery, a restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows and exquisite cuisine, an indoor/outdoor heated pool, and a health centre—each thoughtfully designed to enhance guests’ connection to the breathtaking landscape.

Although it feels like a secluded lakeside retreat, Design Suites is in fact easily accessible to the vibrant city centre of San Carlos de Bariloche. The hotel is located on Av. Bustillo km 2.5—just 1.6 miles (around 2.5 km) from Bariloche’s Civic Centre. Many guests find it to be a pleasant 20-minute walk to the city’s shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. As the Michelin Guide notes, the location is “just outside Bariloche proper,” making it an easy jaunt from the town’s Alpine-style bustle.

From the hotel, guests can quickly reach the Centro Cívico, Bariloche’s iconic civic complex, as well as take advantage of the many local excursions departing from the city. This proximity allows visitors to enjoy both the peaceful advantages of a lakeside retreat and the lively energy of Bariloche’s central district.

“We are deeply honoured to receive this recognition,” said Laura Madariaga, General Manager of Design Suites Bariloche. “This award celebrates our dedicated team, who personalise every stay—from special celebrations and honeymoons to restorative wellness breaks—ensuring guests leave with a true connection to Patagonia.”

Alexander Chetchikov, CEO of Luxury Lifestyle Awards and President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce, added: “We warmly congratulate Design Suites Bariloche on being named Best Luxury Scenic View Hotel for Río Negro, Argentina. Their thoughtful combination of contemporary design, exceptional service, and unrivalled lakeside setting exemplifies the high standards that Luxury Lifestyle Awards recognises.”

Design Suites Bariloche invites couples to enjoy romantic stays in an unforgettable setting, with elegant suites designed for comfort, a wellness area overlooking the lake, and a restaurant that celebrates the best of Patagonian cuisine.
