ABOUT HOTEL ANTUMALAL - in their own words:
On a wooded point overlooking the lake, between gardens, terraces and waterfalls sits the Hotel Antumalal. Meaning "Corral of the Sun" in the Mapundungun language, Antumalal's vibrant and modern architecture fits harmoniously with its setting. The main rooms extend above a cliff with an entire wall of glass overlooking the lake. Wood-paneled walls, soft white carpets and an immense fireplace create an elegant yet simple ambiance. In a modern twist on 1950s style, the furniture uniquely blends native wood, iron, and rope. Recent additions, such as the pool and spa use wood, rock and cement to remain true to the original architecture and to integrate with the surroundings. Each bedroom is furnished with a wall-sized window so that the calming landscape is perfectly framed.

Construction began in 1945 on what once was a graceless piece of rocky outcrop. Influenced by the Bauhaus style the design was conceived by the owners themselves along with the Chilean architect Jorge Elton. Within five years they had successfully transformed the space into the magnificent building and stunning gardens that we enjoy today. The hotel represents a tribute to the Pucón area: nature came first and the complimentary linear design was designed to frame and honor it. The Antumalal remains an architectural jewel.

The park of Hotel Antumalal, created 60 years ago, changes constantly with the seasons. The gardens are framed by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel's modern architecture. Native vegetation dominates our Antumalal Park where you can find five waterfalls, natural volcanic rock pools and numerous pebble paths flanked by flowerbeds of lobelia and asylum. An explosion of colors, different every day.

Since 2008 our Restaurant Parque Antumalal is supplied with fresh products from our vegetable garden and greenhouse offering an organic and natural alternative. We invite you to visit this space during your stay! The native trees are vigilant sentinels of this colorful setting, their majestic trunks visible from all rooms of the hotel. The vastness of the park invites contemplation of contrasting colors and textures. Our various paths all lead to the tantalizing waters of the lake - with two jetties and pebble beaches.

We invite you to discover the magic and the color of our gardens for yourselves during your stay.
