The Llao Llao hotel is one of argentina´s most luxurious Hotels, considered a National historical monument.
Built in 1937 by Architect Alejandxro Bustillo in a Canadian Style (Whatever that means), it was inaugurated 1n 1938 and burnt to the ground a year later, it was later rebuilt and closed down until it reopened 1993.
If you can afford the price it is a spectacular place to stay in Bariloche, but if not you can still enjoy the view of the surrounding area.
Villa Lao Llao, the area where the Hotel was built is named after a fungi that grows on the alerce trees and which was considered sweet by the natives of the area, I was told that it isn't actually so delicious but I guess that they did not know sugar or honey so that had to do.
The location is really spectacular,. You can see the Nahuel Huapi and Moreno lakes from the Hotel´s entrance, it reminded me of The Banff Springs Hotel in the Rocky mountains in Canada.
