Torres del Paine Hotel Remota Patagonia

About Remota

Although from the outside the Torres del Paine Hotel Remota may look a little strange, it is actually unique. In the first instance it looks like it has been spread on a hill side with the building forming a badly shaped square with one end of the square open. Then, the exterior with its dark coloring does not “look pretty”.

First Impressions

In view of the initial impression, one may be wondering what to expect when inside. However, as soon as you pass into this building you will be greeted by an enormous space of modern design. For example, its extremely high ceilings, large tables and very wide seating sectors create the immediate impression of “space”. In addition, the interior fire pits and tall floor to ceiling windows enable a superb view to the exterior and the beauty of Patagonia.

Important to note that Remota is not cosy. Therefore, should you be after this type of ambience then this hotel will not satisfy this need.

On the other hand, if you like something that is new, interesting and creative, after your first night you will likely love the place.

In our view Remota rates as one of the better hotels in Patagonia.

Torres del Paine Hotel Remota Ethos

Above all, the ethos of the Torres del Paine Hotel Remota is “being natural”, to be part of the natural environment. Therefore, the exterior roofs are covered over in grass. In addition, the exterior is veneered in thick, old railway-sleeper wood. The reason the interior has very high ceilings is not only to create the sense of vast, open space, but as well as generate natural ventilation within the hotel interior.

Natural

As has been noted, the roof is covered in natural grass, under which is earth. This combination of earthen roof covering and ample insulation within the walls, together with generous Patagonian day light entering through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows enables for an energy-efficient building. As a result Remota hotel requires less use of  fuel to heat the interior of a building of this size.

Furthermore, hotel guests receive stainless steel, water refill bottles in order to cut down the use of plastics. Also, the chemicals used for for laundry and pool maintenance ones that are free of contaminant. In a similar fashion glass, aluminum, cardboard and paper are all recycled.

Remota offers 72 guest rooms. These are located in two, separate arms, or wings, of the hotel. Nonetheless, these two wings are connected by a long, tunnel-like hallway.

Food

Back in the main building the bar and restaurant, located on the highest floor level of the hotel, offers high-end food with local ingredients and fresh vegetables in each dish, accompanied with top wines from Chile.

Location

The hotel is located 1.5km north of Puerto Natales, about 500 mts up from the road that follows the Fiord of Last Hope.
