Where to Stay in Mendoza — Best Hotels & Wine Lodges
Curated by Our Guild Explorers · Updated August 2026
Mendoza asks you one question before any other: city or vineyards? Mendoza city is low-rise, leafy and pleasantly walkable, built around the Plaza Independencia, with restaurants, a casino and no need for a car. The wine itself is elsewhere. Luján de Cuyo and neighbouring Chacras de Coria lie about half an hour south, close enough for easy day trips; the high Uco Valley is an hour and a half further and feels genuinely remote. The vineyard lodges are among the loveliest places to stay in Argentina, but nearly all of them require a car, a driver or a hotel transfer for every meal. Below are our picks by style, each with a Book Me link straight to Trip.com.
Luxury
Argentina’s finest wine-country stays, and one grand hotel right on the plaza.
Park Hyatt Mendoza Hotel Casino and Spa
A 1907 Spanish colonial façade with a modern tower behind it, standing directly on the Plaza Independencia. There is a casino, the Kaua spa, an outdoor pool, a lift throughout and free parking — and, unusually for Mendoza, you do not need a car at all, because the city’s restaurants are on your doorstep. Trip.com lists dogs as welcome for a small daily fee.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Cavas Wine Lodge — Relais & Châteaux
Seventeen free-standing adobe casitas scattered across a working vineyard in Luján de Cuyo, each with its own plunge pool and a rooftop terrace for watching the sun go down over the Andes. Each casita is single-storey and step-free inside, but they are spread over the estate on gravel paths, and a car or the hotel’s transfer is essential. Pets are not accepted.

Old manor houses and small inns among the vines.
Club Tapiz
A restored 1890s manor house on the Tapiz estate, with two outdoor pools, a working olive-oil operation and a small tapestry museum in the grounds. It rates 9.3 out of 10 on Trip.com. One caution: it is a historic two-storey house and Trip.com lists no lift, so ask for a ground-floor room if stairs are a problem. A car is needed.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Lares de Chacras
A small, owner-run inn in the leafy village of Chacras de Coria — and, for our money, the most useful address in this guide, because it is one of the very few vineyard-area hotels where you can walk to the village restaurants and the plaza instead of arranging a car for every evening meal.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Budget & Value
Central Mendoza hotels that punch well above their price.
Argentino Hotel
A 46-room three-star directly on the Plaza Independencia, from around US$63. For the money it offers a great deal: a lift, an outdoor pool, a massage room and free on-site parking, all in the most central position in the city. Pets are not accepted.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Huentala Hotel
A four-star a couple of blocks off the plaza, from about US$74, with a lift, an outdoor pool, a sauna and spa, a casino, and its own attached winery — which saves you a trip if you only want a taste of the idea. Parking is about US$10 a day. Pets are not accepted, though service animals are on request.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Family-friendly
In-town hotels with pools, lifts and space — easier with children than a remote lodge.
Sheraton Mendoza Hotel
A 180-room hotel that opened in 2008, so the lifts and bathrooms are modern, with an indoor heated pool that earns its keep in a Mendoza winter, a gym and a set children’s breakfast rate. Trip.com states children of all ages are accepted, and rates it 9.2 out of 10. Dogs are welcome for a per-stay fee.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Park Hyatt Mendoza Hotel Casino and Spa
Trip.com states that children of all ages are welcome here, and the combination of an outdoor pool, a lift, free parking and a position right on the main square makes it the easiest of the grand options for a family that wants to walk out to dinner.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Adults-only
Mendoza is one of the few places in Argentina where genuine adults-only hotels exist — and they are lovely. Both below state plainly on Trip.com that children are not permitted.
Susana Balbo Winemaker’s House — Relais & Châteaux
The home of one of Argentina’s most celebrated winemakers, opened in 2022 with just seven rooms. Trip.com states explicitly that children are not permitted and the minimum guest age is eighteen. There is a spa and a heated outdoor pool, and complimentary airport transfers, so you need not hire a car. No lift is listed — it is a private house.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Villa Mansa Wine Hotel
The most affordable genuinely adults-only wine hotel we could confirm, out in the Luján de Cuyo vineyards, with a seasonal outdoor pool, a spa and a sauna. Trip.com states plainly that children are not permitted. It is low-rise with no lift listed, and a car is useful.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Pet-friendly
Only two Mendoza hotels we checked state plainly on Trip.com that they take dogs. Every other property in this guide says pets are not allowed — so if you are travelling with a dog, these are your two.
Park Hyatt Mendoza Hotel Casino and Spa
Trip.com lists dogs as welcome for a nominal per-pet, per-day fee. Being on the plaza, with the leafy squares of central Mendoza a short walk away, it is a practical choice for a dog.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Sheraton Mendoza Hotel
Trip.com lists dogs as welcome for a per-stay fee. A modern hotel with a lift and an indoor pool, a couple of blocks from the plaza.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Spa & Pool
Vineyard wellness, and a city hotel that does it very well for the money.
Entre Cielos Wine & Wellness Hotel
A 24-room wine hotel among the vines whose standout feature is a six-stage Turkish hammam circuit, alongside a seasonal outdoor pool and a full spa menu. One honest note: its famous suspended “Gran Reserva” cube room is reached by an external staircase and is not step-free — ask for a ground-level room. Pets are not accepted; a car or transfer is needed.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Diplomatic Hotel
A five-star on Avenida Belgrano rated 9.2 out of 10, with a spa and massage, an outdoor pool, a gym, a lift, free on-site parking and complimentary wine tastings for guests. Central, level from the street, and far better value than its star rating suggests. Pets are not accepted, though service animals are permitted.

Mendoza Hotels — Frequently Asked Questions
Which part of Mendoza should I stay in?
Stay in Mendoza city if you want to walk out to dinner, do not want to arrange a car, or are only here for a night or two — the plaza hotels are genuinely convenient. Stay in Luján de Cuyo or Chacras de Coria, about half an hour south, for vineyards within easy reach of the city. Stay in the Uco Valley, an hour and a half further, only if you have three nights or more and are content to eat where you sleep — it is beautiful and genuinely remote.
Which Mendoza hotels have a lift?
The city hotels do: Trip.com confirms lifts at the Park Hyatt, the Sheraton, the Diplomatic, the Huentala, the Argentino and the Amerian Executive. The vineyard lodges mostly do not — Trip.com lists no lift for Cavas, Villa Mansa, Club Tapiz, Susana Balbo, Posada Salentein or Atamisque. Most are low-rise, so this is less of a problem than it sounds, but the grounds are large and often gravelled. Casa de Uco is the one vineyard resort where Trip.com does list a lift.
Do I need a car in Mendoza?
Not in the city, where everything is walkable. Out in the vineyards, yes — but hire a driver or take a tour rather than driving yourself. You will be tasting wine, the drink-drive limit is strict, and the vineyard roads are unlit at night. Lares de Chacras and the Susana Balbo house are the two exceptions on this page: one is in a walkable village, the other includes airport transfers.
When is the best time to visit Mendoza?
Harvest, the vendimia, falls in March and is the most atmospheric time to come, with the festival at the start of the month. October to April is warm and reliable. Winter, June to August, is cold and quiet in the vineyards but clear, and it is ski season up at Las Leñas.
