Hotel Antumalal
The Bauhaus-style Hotel Antumalal was built in 1950 by a Czech couple. Perched up above the shores of Lago Villarrica, the hotel is architecturally dramatic and showcases wondrous views from the hotel rooms, the restaurant, lounge, and the terrace.
This boutique hotel exudes sophistication whilst maintaining a low-key relaxing ambience. The unique combination of beauty and privacy has attracted various dignitaries in the past including Neil Armstrong, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and the retro chicness of the hotel continues to attract discerning guests today.
