Hotel Costaustralis, Puerto Natales

Hotel Costaustralis stands on the waterfront of the Channel of Last Hope fjord within walking distance of the major attractions of Puerto Natales. Walk to Plaza Muñoz Gamero in five minutes or visit the Municipal History Museum in the same amount of time to learn about the area's Indigenous history and culture. Torres del Paine National Park is 1.5 hours away by car or two hours by bus.

Currently, this is the largest hotel in Puerto Natales, with 110 rooms that range from doubles to triples for larger parties. The style is contemporary and simple with neutral tones. All rooms except for the Standard have sea views, and bathrooms offer rainfall showers. Suites include a living room with windows all around to give you a panoramic view of the fjord and Puerto Natales. The hotel's central location can make it a bit noisy, so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

The hotel's restaurant and lounge is a cozy place to enjoy a Chilean meal or cocktail while soaking in a view of the fjord. Free bikes are available for those who want to take a ride down the waterfront bike path of Puerto Natales, and the hotel engages in other sustainable practices like working with local producers and supporting the Indigenous community.
