Accommodation
Bariloche hotels are abundant, and combined with a prolific number of hosterias and apartments you’ll be spoiled for choice. Other Bariloche accommodation options include hostels, cabanas (cabins), and private vacation houses. Considering there’s lots of competition, Bariloche accommodation usually provides very good value for money.
Central Bariloche Hotel Options
Downtown
San Carlos de Bariloche has lots of hotels, with a large concentration around Av. San Martin and its continuation of Moreno, one of the main roads of Bariloche. The main tourist street of Mitre also has a few hotels such as the Super Resort Bariloche and Grand Hotel Bariloche.
The obvious advantage of staying in downtown
Bariloche is being close to the action and within easy walking distance of transport options and the many shops, restaurants and nightlife spots. If you like to sleep with the window open you may hear some of the revellers partying at night, but this is part of the buzz of Bariloche.
Hotel Edelweiss is a 5 star hotel located on Av San Martin. It provides great value for money across a range of rooms (many with lake views), excellent service, and facilities you’d expect of a 5 star hotel. See our
Hotel Edelweiss review for more information.
The central area of Bariloche has only a handful of hosterias (or posadas) which are generally smaller than hotels and feel more like a guesthouse.
For budget accommodation try
La Justina Hostel which has economical twin or double rooms. This Bariloche hostel is a 700 metre walk from the centre of Bariloche.

San Carlos de Bariloche Hotels – Out of Town
There is also plenty of accommodation in the many sprawling suburbs of Bariloche. Much of the lodging is located along PRN237 Exequiel Bustillo 5Av, the road that runs alongside the lake between central Bariloche and Cerro Catedral. Suburbs in this area include Los Maitenes, El Mirador, Pinar de Festa, and Perito Moreno near the turn-off to Catedral. The settlements of Llao Llao and Puerto Pañuelo also have lots of lodging options and are located on a peninsula about 26km from downtown and 25km from Cerro Catedral.
The hotels, hosterias, apartments and cabanas located along the lake have the distinct advantage of providing gorgeous views across the lake and a tranquil atmosphere. If you don’t have a car and want to head to the restaurants or shops of central Bariloche, the obvious disadvantage is the potential inconvenience or cost associated with transport.
Cerro Catedral Accommodation
If the main purpose of your visit to Bariloche is to ski or snowboard at
Cerro Catedral, the other option is to stay on-mountain.
Cerro Catedral accommodation provides the great convenience of easy access to the slopes, thereby eliminating the cost and time involved with daily transport between Bariloche and the ski resort. Whilst Cerro Catedral isn’t as vibrant as Bariloche when it comes to nightlife or restaurants, the village has enough action to keep the average punter happy.
