Where to Stay in Ushuaia — Best Hotels at the End of the World
Curated by Our Guild Explorers · Updated August 2026
Ushuaia is built on a mountainside that drops straight into the Beagle Channel, and that one fact should decide where you stay. The town centre, along Avenida San Martín and the waterfront Avenida Maipú, is flat where it counts and within a few minutes’ walk of the restaurants and the cruise pier. Everything up the hill — and some of the finest hotels in Argentine Patagonia are up the hill — has the views, but the streets are genuinely steep and you will use the shuttle. Happily, most of the out-of-town hotels run a free one, and we say so below. If you are here to board an Antarctic voyage, come a day early: flights south are weather-dependent and ships do not wait. Each pick below carries a Book Me link straight to Trip.com.
Luxury
Two genuinely special hotels — both out of town, both with a free shuttle.
Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa
High on Cerro Alarkén above the town, from about US$309, and the most dramatic hotel in Ushuaia: a heated outdoor pool looking out over the channel and the mountains, plus an indoor pool and a full spa. There is a lift, children of all ages are welcome, and pets are not accepted. Crucially, the free shuttle into town runs hourly — you do not need a car, but you will not be walking down either.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Los Cauquenes Resort + Spa + Experiences
From about US$341, on its own stretch of Beagle Channel shoreline about ten minutes out of town, with indoor and outdoor pools, three hot tubs, and a spa doing massages, body treatments and facials. There is a lift and a complimentary shuttle with several departures a day. Quiet and beautiful; you are shuttle- or taxi-dependent for restaurants and the pier.

Smaller hotels — one right in the centre, one with the view.
MIL810 Ushuaia Hotel
A three-star on 25 de Mayo from about US$87, and the best-value walkable base in Ushuaia: a lift, ten minutes on foot to the middle of town and roughly the same to the cruise pier. There is no pool or spa. Children of all ages are welcome but extra beds cannot be added to any room, and pets are not accepted. For a night before boarding a ship, it is hard to beat.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Wyndham Garden Ushuaia Hotel del Glaciar
From about US$148 on the Martial glacier road above the town, with rooms looking down over the Beagle Channel, a lift, a massage room and a free shuttle into town. No pool. Walking down is possible; walking back up is severe, so use the shuttle. Notably, this is the only Ushuaia hotel we checked that Trip.com lists as permitting service animals, though ordinary pets are not accepted.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Budget & Value
Central, level, and within a few minutes of the pier — which is what matters here.
Hotel Albatros
The best-placed hotel in Ushuaia for anyone joining a ship: a four-star on the waterfront road, described by Trip.com as roughly five minutes’ walk from the pier, on the flat — no hill, no taxi, no anxiety on sailing morning. From about US$137, with a lift and a full spa including a Turkish bath, and a harbour view from the breakfast room. There is no pool, and extra beds cannot be added to any room type.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Lennox Ushuaia
A three-star from about US$118 directly on the main street, with the restaurants and shops literally at the door and about five minutes’ walk to the port. There is a lift, but no pool and no spa. One thing we must flag: Trip.com states that neither pets nor service animals are permitted here — unusual, and worth knowing.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Alto Andino Hotel
The cheapest central hotel we verified, from about US$92, with a lift and a four-minute walk to the Town Hall and about six to the waterfront. Trip.com lists no specific step-free features, and Gobernador Paz sits one block uphill from San Martín — a short block, but a genuinely steep one. Children can stay in some rooms; extra beds cannot be added.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Family-friendly
Space, self-catering and shuttles, a little way out of the centre.
Tolkeyen Ushuaia Hotel
A 53-room three-star from about US$109, rated 8.9 out of 10, with a free shuttle into town, free private parking, spa baths in the suites and mountain and channel views. Children of all ages are welcome. One honest caution: Trip.com does not mention a lift here, so confirm before booking if stairs are difficult.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Los Cauquenes Resort + Spa + Experiences
If the budget stretches, the pools, hot tubs and private beach make this the easiest place in Ushuaia to spend a wet afternoon with family, and the free shuttle takes the sting out of being outside town.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Adults-only
No adults-only hotel in Ushuaia could be verified, so we are not listing one. The best-known candidate, Tierra de Leyendas, is not carried by Trip.com at all, and the hotel we did check in detail states plainly that it is not adults-only. A word of warning while you search: an internet search for “Ushuaia adults only” mostly returns the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel in Spain, which is a nightclub resort on the Mediterranean and about as far from Tierra del Fuego as it is possible to get. Browse the genuine Ushuaia listings below.
Browse Ushuaia hotels on Trip.com ›Pet-friendly
Another one where honesty serves you better than a list: we could not confirm any pet-friendly hotel in Ushuaia. We checked eight properties in detail and every single one states on Trip.com that pets are not allowed. The Wyndham Garden is the only one that permits service animals, and the Lennox explicitly does not. If you are travelling with an animal, contact properties directly well before you book.
Browse Ushuaia hotels on Trip.com ›Spa & Pool
There is real pleasure in a hot pool at the bottom of the world, and two hotels here do it properly.
Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa
The heated outdoor pool, steaming in the cold with the mountains and the channel laid out below, is the single most memorable thing any Ushuaia hotel offers. There is an indoor pool and a full spa as well, a lift, and that hourly free shuttle so you are not stranded.
Book Me on Trip.com ›Los Cauquenes Resort + Spa + Experiences
Indoor and outdoor pools, three hot tubs and a proper spa menu of massages, body treatments and facials, all a few steps from its own beach on the Beagle Channel. The quieter of the two, and the better one if you intend to stay put.

Ushuaia Hotels — Frequently Asked Questions
Which part of Ushuaia should I stay in?
In the town centre, along Avenida San Martín or the waterfront Avenida Maipú, especially if you are joining a ship — the Albatros, Lennox, MIL810 and Alto Andino are all within a few minutes of the pier. Up the hill, at the Arakur or the Wyndham Garden, you get the views and the pools, and you use the free shuttle. Out on the water at Los Cauquenes you get quiet and a private beach, ten minutes from town.
Which Ushuaia hotels have a lift?
Trip.com confirms lifts at the Arakur, Los Cauquenes, the Wyndham Garden, MIL810, the Albatros, the Lennox and the Alto Andino. It does not mention a lift at the Tolkeyen, so confirm before booking if stairs are difficult. Bear in mind that in Ushuaia the streets outside matter as much as the lift inside: the side streets climb hard from the waterfront.
Are there adults-only hotels in Ushuaia?
Not that we can verify. Every property we checked on Trip.com either welcomes children of all ages or accepts them in some rooms, so we have not listed an adults-only section for Ushuaia — we would rather tell you the category is empty than fill it with something that does not fit.
Can I bring a dog to Ushuaia?
Not to a hotel, as far as we can establish. Every property we checked states plainly on Trip.com that pets are not allowed. If you are travelling with an animal, look at self-catering rentals instead and confirm the policy directly with the owner before you book.
Which Ushuaia hotel is best if I am joining an Antarctic cruise?
The Hotel Albatros on Avenida Maipú, which Trip.com places roughly five minutes’ walk from the pier on level ground — no hill and no taxi on sailing morning. MIL810 and the Lennox are close behind and cost less. Whichever you choose, arrive at least a day early: flights to Ushuaia are weather-dependent and a ship will not wait for you.
When is the best time to visit Ushuaia?
For most visitors, November to March — the southern summer, when the Antarctic season runs, the Beagle Channel boats sail daily and there is daylight until late. June to August is the ski and winter season, beautiful in its way but with only a few hours of light. Bring layers and a windproof coat in any month.
