Yene Hue means "place of whales" in the Mapuche language — a fitting name for a hotel that rises over Avenida Roca, facing the Golfo Nuevo and the cruise ship dock, minutes from the Valdés Peninsula and only 116 km from Punta Tombo, the famous penguin colony of Patagonia.
Built on an area of 1000 m² and 11 floors high to make the most of the views, the hotel offers 71 rooms, a complete spa, a tango-themed restaurant and meeting rooms — the most sophisticated approach to this destination. It features an indoor heated pool, a hot tub and rooms with sea and city views, plus free Wi-Fi and spa treatments.
The stylish rooms have cream walls, upholstered chairs and heating, and some include a private spa bath. Every morning a buffet breakfast is served with regional jams and other delicacies, while the restaurant "Facing South" overlooks the sea and serves typical Patagonian cuisine. Reception is open 24 hours with currency exchange, and the hotel is fully accessible, with ramps, adapted rooms, Braille signage and information, audible lift alarms and staff trained in sign language and first aid.
