Los Cauquenes is a luxury resort on the shore of the Beagle Channel, in the Bahia Cauquen district beside the airport side of Ushuaia. It carries a five-star class and a guest score of 9.6 from more than three hundred reviews, which puts it among the best-rated places to stay in town. The setting is its strength: the hotel is on the water, with the channel and the mountains as the view and a short walk to Bahia Golondrina. Facilities include indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs overlooking the channel, a spa offering reflexology, body treatments and deep-tissue massage, a garden and terrace, a hair salon and free bicycle rentals. The restaurant, Reinamora, serves regional cuisine with ocean views from breakfast through dinner, and a free buffet breakfast is included. Parking and Wi-Fi are free. Supervised childcare is available for a surcharge, and the hotel holds a sustainability certification from a third-party scheme. It suits couples, honeymooners and families who want a calm base with real comfort after days on the water or the trail, and it works well for travellers who value quiet over being in the thick of town.
Location and getting around
The hotel is about ten minutes by car from the port and about eight from the cultural centre, and the airport is roughly nine minutes away, so arrivals and departures are easy. That means you will usually take a taxi or arrange a pickup to reach the waterfront for cruises and dinner, rather than walking. A round-trip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge, and tour operators can collect guests from the hotel. Free bicycles are handy for the shoreline nearby on a calm day.
Rooms and facilities
The spa and the pools are the centrepiece, and soaking in a hot tub with the channel in front of you after a cold day outside is the main pleasure of staying here. Reinamora provides most meals on site, which helps because the hotel is away from the main street, and breakfast is included on the rates we checked.
A garden and terrace give space to sit outside when the weather allows, and an electric car charging point is available. Check-in begins in the afternoon and check-out is late morning. Pets are not allowed, apart from service animals, and some rates carry free cancellation.
Who it suits and what to know: this is the right choice for travellers who want a quiet, comfortable resort rather than a hotel in the middle of town, and for couples marking a special occasion. Families can use the pools and childcare. Light-seeking visitors will like the long summer evenings on the water, and winter visitors the warm interior against the cold outside.
Book early for the December to February peak and for days when Antarctic ships are in port. Ask about early breakfast arrangements if you have a dawn pickup for a penguin trip or a national park tour, and confirm taxi costs to town so that you can plan dinners.
