Excellent stay in the El Chalten area! This is a lovely hotel, located a few km outside of El Chalten. The domes are placed such that you do not see another dome when you are in and we felt really connected to nature. The views of Fitz Roy were amazing from the dome. Staff is smart and well-informed. Meals were included in the stay and they were kind enough to accommodate vegetarian options for us. 3 course dinners, packed lunch boxes and breakfast are on point. We were fortunate to celebrate an excellent Christmas celebration when staying there. Kudos to Rebecca and her team! Definitely recommend staying here. Note: The road from El Chalten to the hotel is unpaved but that is extremely common in Patagonia so take nothing away from the property for this :)

This place is magical, and so charmingly in every way possible. The bed was very comfortable, the food was quiet good. You can hike fitz Roy directly from the dorms which was amazing. They are however very strict about the 5 pm for check in taxi and 10 am checkout taxi, any other times, you will have to pay for a taxi to the ecodomes on your own.

Cozy Stay with sacrifices
Comfortable stay in a deluxe dome. Didn’t disappoint. Obviously you make sacrifices for being in such a remote, beautiful place. For instance, hot water takes about 10+ minutes, food is decent but will not impress you, about 30 min drive to El Chalten via rocky unpaved road, and zero cell service/internet, and no in-cabin charging for anything other than a smartphone via USB (anything else you will have to ask the front desk to charge for you). However, the location is AMAZING. You get to look up at Mount Fitz Roy every day, and there’s a trailhead up to it and several other hikes that are less crowded and closer than the ones you’ll find from town.

5-Stars for Patagonia Eco Domes
Our stay at the Patagonia Eco Domes was Excellent! This is a unique experience to stay in a dome with the quality of a top hotel. The bed was comfortable and blankets sufficient for chilly evenings. There was plenty of hot water for the shower as well. The location is amazing (17 Km north of El Calten on a gravel road) with an incredible view of the Mountain Fitz Roy from the Domes. There are only 7 domes so it is a very peaceful location. There are several hikes that leave from the property and many others you can drive to and park at the trail head. The service at the Domes is excellent and they were knowledgeable about trails, timing, etc. The chef at Patagonia Eco Domes is 5-star!!!!! Dinner was incredible! Overlooking the Fitz Roy, this amazing chef provided excellent dishes (we had pork and the most beautiful beef tenderloin) as you would find in the top restaurants in Chicago. The chocolate cake with rum was perfection! In addition, he prepared a beautiful breakfast spread and made-to-order eggs and bacon if you like. Also the property provided delicious lunch boxes for our hiking days which included home made empanada, yummy. Thank you for a most amazing stay!

Truly connected with outdoors
This was the best stay I have ever had at a lodge. We were greeted by the staff as we pulled up. They took us to the dome which had the best view i have ever seen, sitting directly below Fitzroy. At night they cooked first class dinners and even went and lit a fire in your room while you eat. Breakfast was included and was delicious. It also has incredible location, with the start to the Fitzroy hike directly out the back of the grounds. Note: if you have not camped before or need complete silence when you sleep, this might not be the place for you. The domes are very comfortable and have great bathrooms, but you can hear the wind since they are made of canvas/vinyl. We loved every detail of this lodge and will recommend this stay to everyone.

Perfect Base for Hiking
We spent two nights at the Ecodomes and it was perfect. Coming here to our dome heated by fireplace with the backdrop of the mountains was breathtaking. The meals were excellent with a variety of tasty dishes. The option for an affordable 'lunchbox' for hiking was handy and a big step up from any other options. Getting a couple of beers and snacks to enjoy in our dome when getting in from a day of hiking was excellent. The staff were friendly and did everything to make sure our stay was perfect.

Would love to go back
We had a great stay at the Eco Domes, and would love to come back someday. The domes are very comfortable and cozy. They do get quite loud when it's windy though- earplugs help for sleeping. Food was pretty good. The staff were amazing- so friendly and always willing to answer any questions and help however they could. The property is beautiful with great views. The neighbor's horses like to come running through during the day. You really feel like you're out in nature there. It is about a half hour from Chalten on a dirt road, so plan accordingly. There is access to the trail up to Tres Lagunas from the property. The trail that goes out the back to meet up with the main one is a little tricky at times, but it was really nice to just walk out the door in the morning and be on our way. Lots of other trails nearby as well. No wifi out there, so get your emailing done while you're in town.

Nice hotel for walks and close to the nature.
The crew, the location, the food, the doms where really perfect. The only thing which wasn t so great is that the shuttle bus were not everyday from or to town el chalten. So we had to pay for taxi several times. Maybe even better when u have your own car.

The warmest welcome
Within minutes of booking the domes, communication from the hotel was brilliant with lots of information about travel from Belén. When we arrived in El Chalten the office was only 5 minutes from the bus station and we were welcomed again by Belén and Maria who got us straight into a car to take us the rest of the way to the domes. These are situated with an incredible view of Mt Fitzroy, the main reason people come to El Chalten. The communal areas are decorated with great style and although the whole place is set up to make as little impact as possible on the surrounding national park, there is a real sense of luxury. The food, for example, was some of the best we had all holiday, Tomas the chef showed a great enthusiasm for everything he cooked and is really talented. I think it's fair to point out that this kind of place won't be to everyone's tastes, you are still staying in what is essentially a tent and so are going to experience the normal drawbacks like flapping tent flaps and it being quite cold in the morning as the wood burner has burnt out. However, it's such an experience and genuinely one of the best places we have stayed. All the staff are wonderful, the view from bed was so good that my wife and I found ourselves staying up far later than normal just to take it all in and that's ignoring the incredible Patagonian national park that's on the doorstep. If you like the great outdoors then this place is an absolute must.

Glamping at the trekking capital of Argentina
The Patagonia EcoDomes were at a great location. There was private access to trails and a beautiful view of Mount Fitzroy in the morning. When we arrived, we dropped our bags at the offices near the bus station, and we chose to hike to Mount Fitzroy and then the hotel. The EcoDomes were beautifully decorated, comfortable, and had hot showers. The staff were friendly and helpful. Finally, the dinner was delicious, that night offering pumpkin soup, steak and flan. We were only there for 24 hours, but we felt we had a full experience.

Vale a pena a experiência nesse lugar incrível.
A experiência foi incrível , apesar de pegarmos um dia chuvoso. A equipe é extremamente atenciosa o tempo inteiro, a comida é muito boa (café, jantar e lunch box) e os alojamentos são espaçosos e de frente para o Monte Fitz Roy, ou seja, vista incrível. Pena que não ficamos com a vista plena, mas mesmo assim era um lugar muito tranquilo e bonito que vale a pena conhecer. A única coisa que não foi bom é que foi uma noite fria, e a lenha acabou antes do previsto,mesmo colocando no mínimo como orientado.

cadre absoluement exceptionnel (face au Fitz Roy, quand il est visible :). L'hébergement sous les toiles des yourtes donnent un caractère hors du temps, avec les inconvénients logiques, tel que le bruit du vent qui peut là bas être exceptionnel, ou la pluie qui tombe, là aussi parfois très forte :). Autre petite particularité, compter 5 bonnes minutes, avant d'avoir l'eau chaude au robinet et sous la douche. Mais en anticipant, çà passe.

Très à l écart de la ville, ces dômes sont assez incroyables et méritent bien leur nom de glamping!!! C’est plus qu un camping mais un hôtel vraiment. Nous avons adoré nous réveiller au pied des montagnes comme seuls au monde et aussi allumer le petit poêle dans notre dôme. En revanche en cas cas de vent, les tentes peuvent être assez bruyantes. En grand plus également la gentillesse et les explications du personnel
