The Singular Patagonia is located just outside Puerto Natales in the Chilean town of Puerto Bories. Set on 100 acres lining the Fjord of Last Hope, the hotel offers 57 modern luxury rooms and suites, a world-class spa, a gourmet restaurant, and more than 20 different excursions—including ones to Torres del Paine National Park. The Singular Patagonia was recently named the Top Hotel in Chile and one of the Best Hotels in South America in Trip Advisor’s Traveller’s Choice Awards.
Location
A star attraction at The Singular Patagonia is the fjords, the result of valleys formed by glacial activity. Situated directly on the Fjord of Last Hope, all 57 guest rooms have picturesque views of the rare waterway. If watching from a distance isn’t enough, you will play explorer as you navigate the twists and turns of the area Fjords aboard one of The Singular’s two high-speed boats tracing its glacial origins from end to end.
Style & Character
This five-star luxury hotel is the former home of the Frigorifico Bories, a cold storage plant built in the early 20th century. This plant has been transformed into a completely unique and stunning hotel. Its owners, who are descended from the pioneers who traveled here to start a new life, have a passion for protecting and celebrating the heritage of Patagonia. After the Frigorifico was abandoned, they rescued it, refusing to let this piece of Patagonian history fall apart and fade away. They felt so strongly about maintaining the building’s history that they created a Private Collection of machines, engines, and other artifacts from the old plant.
Rooms
Each of the 54 rooms and three suites provides stylish luxury. Overlooking the Fjord of Last Hope Sound and the Andes Mountains off in the distance, The Singular’s oversized guest rooms provide plenty of room to unwind after a day of adventure. Best of all, your appreciation of Patagonia’s beauty can continue once inside your personal haven as each room features floor-to-ceiling, 6-meter-wide (19 ft) picture windows. A reminder that Mother Nature still makes the best artwork.
Each room offers an en-suite, spacious bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower, not to mention a minibar, complimentary Wi-Fi, and satellite TV. Equipped with custom-designed furniture, overstuffed exquisitely upholstered chairs that you can sink into and stare out at the timeless landscape, and a charming wooden desk, the room is perfect for writing postcards or journal entries about your Patagonian adventures. The indulgently comfortable bed will give you a restful sleep as you dream of the new day’s adventures.
