Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Tierra del Fuego

This rambling alerce-shingle house, dating from the 1920s, is on Quellón's waterfront. You notice a significant change of light when you cross the threshold between the original rooms, with their small windows, and those added in the past decade. Opt for one of the wood-paneled rooms in the newer wing or on the third floor; they maintain the style of the original house, and sunlight streams in through big windows. Everyone in town seems to stop by for lunch at the bustling restaurant downstairs.
