Huentala Hotel Boutique

Set in a prime location in the urban heart of Mendoza, the Huentala Hotel is just one block from the main San Martín Street and two blocks from the pedestrian, commercial and financial centre, 600 metres from Independence Square, 10 minutes from the airport and close to the major shopping malls.

Founded in 1976, the traditional Huentala became a landmark of the province and was one of Mendoza's first two 4-star hotels. After a total transformation in 2004 and a further renovation in early 2013 — including the lobby and the new 150-capacity Pincanta salon — it reopened as a boutique luxury hotel just steps from the city's main and pedestrian streets, with tranquillity and discretion guaranteed.

It is also an art-gallery hotel, decorated with important works of art and sculpture throughout the lobby and public areas. The non-smoking rooms are decorated in soft tones with air conditioning and desks, and some have private spa baths. The Chimpay Bistro is one of the hotel's three restaurants, serving a daily buffet breakfast and dinner, alongside the hotel's own wine cellars, the Kunuk Bar, an art gallery, an outdoor pool with sun loungers, a sauna and a gym.
