Weskar Lodge is a charming, family-run hotel boasting a unique setting on the shores of the Última Esperanza Fjord in Puerto Natales. Built from local lenga wood, the hotel radiates Patagonian warmth, with rich wooden furnishings and design details, large panoramic windows, and a relaxed, personal atmosphere. The impressive views across the fjord and surrounding mountains create a wonderful sense of calm after a day filled with experiences.

The rooms are bright and thoughtfully designed, incorporating natural wood elements that blend seamlessly with the Patagonian surroundings. The beautiful view of the Última Esperanza Fjord is one of the hotel’s greatest highlights, and from the fjord-view rooms, you can admire the tranquil waters and dramatic Patagonian mountains without even leaving your bed. All rooms also feature central heating, Wi-Fi, a safety box, and a hairdryer. Settle into the cosy lounge with its open fireplace, enjoy a good book and a cup of hot chocolate, and take in the magical views over the fjord.

The hotel’s restaurant, La Casona, is located in the original building and offers a warm, homely atmosphere with panoramic views of the fjord. Here, you’ll be served dishes inspired by Patagonian cuisine, focusing on local ingredients such as Magellanic lamb and beef, fresh vegetables from local producers, and home-baked bread. Complement your meal with a glass of Chilean wine or a locally brewed beer. Each morning, an inviting breakfast buffet is served, including freshly baked bread, fruit, and other tempting breakfast favourites – the perfect start to your day and fuel for more adventures in the great outdoors.

When you head into town, you can stroll along the scenic beachfront promenade, where you’ll often have excellent opportunities to spot a wide variety of birdlife. The town offers cosy cafés, restaurants, and small shops, perfect for picking up a little memento from your tour. Weskar is an ideal base for exploring the nearby Torres del Paine National Park, the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers, and many more of Patagonia’s spectacular natural wonders.
