The Singular Patagonia

Add to wishlist Contact us

An impressive national heritage factory building turned remote warehouse-style hotel, The Singular Patagonia rests on the shores of Last Hope Sound and offers a truly unique glimpse of Patagonian history.

Despite its distinctly “end of the world” feeling and rather austere exterior aesthetics, the property is startlingly warm and welcoming and doubles as a living museum. A colossal former industrial storehouse now houses a moody restaurant that centres around a crackling fireplace and entertaining open kitchen, and serves some of the most delicious and comforting fare in all of Patagonia.

Its 57 tasteful rooms are housed in a contrasting modern glass-fronted wing, and are flooded with light through 6-metre-wide picture windows that boast spectacular views over the sound and towards the distant Andes. The aromatherapy treatment and wellness spa, featuring a heated indoor-outdoor pool, is also situated in this light-filled wing and benefits from unparalleled fjord and glacier views.

Why we like The Singular Patagonia

Managing not only to retain the historical artefacts and unique structural niceties of this heritage building, but also succeeding in delivering first-class service and a real sense of homely cosiness, The Singular Patagonia is a magical place that visitors will not forget in a hurry.

Endorsements

The property has been featured in a number of celebrated publications that include Condé Nast Traveller, Food and Travel Magazine, Forbes and The New York Times.

Activities

From the property, guests can saddle up for a horseback ride around the archaeologically-dense Lake Sofia, take a half-day waterfront bicycle ride, join a cultural insight walking tour of Puerto Natales, kayak through Patagonian fjords in search of Chilean flamingos, or hop aboard a boat navigation to a nearby estancia to learn about their work with sheepdogs and wool farming.

Further afield, attempt the bucket-list ascent to the base of the Torres del Paine monoliths, or simply discover the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve on foot with views to the Paine Massif and in search for elusive pumas and herds of guanacos.

Facilities

  • Spa with indoor-outdoor heated pool
  • Sauna and steam room
  • World-class restaurant using local produce
  • Museum showcasing the machinery and history of the original building
