This luxurious lodge may be a fair distance from the park proper, but it's the only top hotel with a view of the distinctive Torres, from its perspective due west across the plains. It also has a marvelous view of the vast steppe, and of Sierra Baquedano to the east, and is one of the only properties by the park to offer an authentic estancia experience. While the sheep ranch covers a vast 100,000 hectares (247,000 acres) between the park and Argentine border and includes the entire village of Cerro Guido, the facilities themselves include two estancia buildings formerly occupied by the administrators and owners, a dining area, and a few service areas such as a horse stable. The finest view of the Torres is from the excellent restaurant, which has barbecue facilities indoors and out. Rooms, with fine polished hardwood floors, are furnished largely according to the lodge's original, country English-style, early-20th-century decor, with the nicest being the superior rooms in the former administrator's mansion; at a 10% higher price, they're larger and have fireplaces along with central heating. It's the perfect place for a genuine dive into Patagonia's rural traditions, and Cerro Guido now offers 2- to 4-day all-inclusive packages that allow guests to take sheep-shearing tours and personal guided horseback and hiking excursions to the park, as well as to a nearby aboriginal gravesite with a spectacular view.
