As a photographer, the boardwalks around the hotel with the lake and the mountains in the distance was one of my favourite views in the entire national park. Just imagine waking up for sunrise here or admiring the scenery during the golden hour.
2. Hotel Las Torres Patagonia
🛌BEST FOR: Those who want both comfort and to be close to the Mirador las Torres Base trailhead.
One of the most ideally located accommodations in Torres del Paine is Hotel Las Torres.

We’ve seen many videos on social media where pumas walked right across the area in front of the hotel, which is another good reason to book your stay here.
3. Hotel Lago Grey
🛌BEST FOR: Those who want luxury on a lower budget + glacier views
Sitting on the shores of Lago Grey, Hotel Lago Grey is an ideal place for a comfortable and quieter stay in Torres del Paine. If you have a rental car to get around the national park, this is a great hotel where you can enjoy a bit of luxury without the huge price-tag.

Final Thoughts on Accommodations in Torres del Paine
Since we were long-term traveling through South America, we had no way of knowing the exact dates that we would be visiting Torres del Paine. This essentially resulted in us not being able to book anything inside the park in the end (not even campsites), so we stayed in Puerto Natales.
Therefore, if you have your heart set on staying inside the park, especially if you’re wanting to find a more budget-friendly option, you need to book your stay as early as possible. If you found this blog post useful and want to show your support, you can buy us a coffee here.
