The floating suites of an Argentine hotel that are always the most requested by travelers

They have one 360 degree view, they are totally glazed And they are about the Potrero de los Funes Lakein the province of San Luis.

With those ingredients and the tranquility of the mountains, the 12 Flovanes They are the most requested of this hotel that has 116 rooms in total and has become a tourist, architectural and business success at the same time.

Although there are floating hotels in other destinations in the world -from Panama to Polynesia -it is an original proposal: it all started when the owners of the Potrero de los Funes hotel had the idea of ​​building a floating confectionery on the shore of the lake. More precisely, on Route 18 km 16, just 15 minutes from the provincial capital.

Therefore, to take advantage of the landscape views and enjoy the pleasant microclimate throughout the year, the floating remote was first designed and lifted a few meters from the hotel and, given the positive response of the diners, one day it was decided to build the attractive Floating suites!

“Before building the Remed Guests wanted to be close to the water. One day, chatting with the person who had the handling of the hydropedals we said ‘How nice it would be to have coffee in the lake, but inside the lake’. And so we start, ”they tell at the Potrero de los Funes Hotel, 4 -star category.

And they report: “After a proof and error process, when the confectionery was finished, we looked at the place and we said: ‘And what would it be like to sleep for a night in such a place, with this view?’ Then the rest of the project “.

Each island is a hotel roomand they were all designed with glass structures to have 360 ​​degree panoramic ones from the center of the room, where the bed is.

“From there you can have an incredible visual experience, flush with water and with all the luxuries of a category hotel,” they explain.

The work was carried out in stages and the last investment was for the last four islands and the catwalks that lead from the coast to each of the islands, as well as a downward bridge.

There are vehicular roundabouts because the idea is that guests climb on the parking lot to electrical carts to take them to the door of their island.

In the hotel it emphasizes that floating suites were built by Puntana labor and with materials bought in the province of San Luis.

In turn, for the level of flotation they claim to have used materials that “do not degrade over time, which does not contaminate the lake water. And the effluents of the rooms are connected below the catwalks to the sewage network of the sewage of the Hotel.
