Design Suites Bariloche

Perched on the serene shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake, just minutes from the heart of San Carlos de Bariloche, Design Suites Bariloche is a sanctuary where contemporary design and Patagonian beauty converge. Since its opening in 2004, under the vision of Founder and Director Daniel Mochón, the hotel has reimagined luxury hospitality in Argentina’s Lake District, offering guests a rare combination of privacy, comfort, and cultural connection.

Recognised in 2025 by Luxury Lifestyle Awards as the Best Luxury Scenic View Hotel in Río Negro, Design Suites Bariloche has become synonymous with authentic experiences and exceptional service. Its enviable location, only 2.5 kilometres from Bariloche’s Civic Centre, allows visitors to enjoy the vibrant rhythm of the Alpine-inspired city while retreating to the tranquillity of lakefront living. This amalgamation of accessibility and seclusion has positioned the hotel as one of Patagonia’s most sought-after escapes.

The property features 78 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites, each oriented to maximise sweeping views of Nahuel Huapi Lake. Guests can indulge in private jacuzzis, dine in a restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows, or explore the hotel’s tailored art gallery, all while immersed in a landscape of snow-capped peaks and crystalline waters. A wellness centre, along with an indoor/outdoor heated pool, ensures every stay nurtures both body and soul.

At the core of the Design Suites philosophy is the belief that a hotel should do more than host; it should inspire. The dedicated team, led by General Manager Laura Madariaga, is known for tailoring experiences to each guest, from romantic getaways and honeymoon escapes to wellness retreats and family adventures. Their personalised approach transforms every visit into a meaningful encounter with the spirit of Patagonia.

Design Suites Bariloche is a gateway to discovery, where modern sophistication embraces the wild beauty of southern Argentina. Here, every stay is an invitation to reconnect – with nature, with culture, and with the unforgettable essence of Bariloche.
