Today, we are taking you for afternoon tea at the 5-star Llao Llao Hotel! The Llao Llao is one of the most famous hotels not only in Patagonia but in all of Argentina. This luxury hotel is located in the outskirts of Bariloche, a popular destination for skiing and trekking in northern Patagonia. The hotel sits on a hill between the lakes Nahuel Huapi and Moreno, and it’s flanked by the peaks of Mount Lopez and Mount Tronador in the background. It’s pretty much a slice of paradise! Interestingly enough, this hotel was designed in the Canadian style with lots of stone and wood. When you walk down the halls and around the living area, it almost feels like you’re in a log cabin - albeit a very luxurious and cosy one.
We had afternoon tea in the Winter Garden, where we enjoyed a buffet-style English tea with all sorts of scrumptious cakes, tarts, scones, muffins, brownies, chocolates and sandwiches. As a tip, it’s best to skip lunch and come hungry so that you can enjoy a little bit of everything. Aside from tea, we also got hot chocolate, cappuccinos, and some bubbly!
The total came to $52 USD or $26 per person. Afternoon tea at the Llao Llao was a really fun way to spend the afternoon, and we'd highly recommend doing it if you visit Bariloche!
