Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa

By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.

Book Arakur if you want the top-rated five-star stay in Ushuaia and the price does not worry you. If you watch your budget, our other two picks score well for far less, and guests here often say rooms and meals are expensive.

We may earn a commission if you book. It never changes our pick.

Who it suits, and who should skip it

Arakur is for travellers who want a full resort: a spa, pools, a gym, a restaurant and a five-star rating. It also lists family rooms and free parking, so it can work for families arriving by car.

It is less suited to anyone who wants to keep costs tight. The most common complaint is value for money, with both room rates and dining described as high. If you plan to spend most of the day out and only sleep at the hotel, you may be paying for facilities you barely use.

Location and getting around

The address is Cerro Alarken 1, Ushuaia. We do not have verified walking times or distances to sights for this hotel, so we cannot tell you how far it is from the town centre or the port.

Before booking, check the distance to the places you plan to visit on a map and ask the hotel how guests usually get into town. Free parking is listed, which helps if you rent a car.

Guests give the location a score of 9.3 out of 10. Their comments mention mountain outlooks from the pool areas, so the setting clearly wins people over. Whether it is convenient for your plans is a separate question you should check.

What guests say

The score is 9.5 out of 10 from 808 reviews, which is high on a large sample. Staff get steady praise: friendly, professional, attentive and able to speak several languages.

The pools are the other highlight. Guests describe heated indoor and outdoor infinity areas, with underwater music and mountain outlooks.

On the downside, value for money is the recurring theme. People rate the experience highly but find room prices and food prices steep. Nobody in our data complains about the rooms or the service, so the weakness here is cost, not quality.

Price and how it compares with our other Ushuaia picks

Our reference price was €367.97 a night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, so about €736 for the two nights. Treat it as a reference, not a quote, and check today's price for your dates.

That is well above the sample median of €215.43. Hotel Ushuaia, our Budget pick, was €94.55 a night with a score of 8.0 and four stars. Los Acebos Ushuaia Hotel, our Best Value pick, was €230.41 a night with a score of 9.2 and four stars.

So you pay about €137 a night more than at Los Acebos for 0.3 points of guest score, a fifth star and the resort facilities. A buffet breakfast is offered, but whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed.

Why it made our top 3

We compared 7 eligible hotels in Ushuaia. Our Luxury slot goes to five-star hotels first, and Arakur is officially five stars. It also shares the top guest score position in the sample.

Put simply, it is the highest-rated upscale option we found in the city. The price is the trade-off.

Before you book

Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read your room type and cancellation policy closely at this price level.

Check opening hours and any fees for the spa and pools. Confirm whether breakfast is included. Ask about getting into town and to any tours you have booked, since we have no verified distances.
