Where to Stay in Mendoza: Winery Hotels & More

Where you stay on holiday is as part of the experience as what you do during the day. And in Mendoza, you can choose to sleep in the city, on a vineyard, and even on a ranch in the mountains.

This guide is organized into three different areas for where to stay in Mendoza: the city, Chacras de Coria, and the Uco Valley.

There are hotels for all budgets and interests (wine or *gasp* not wine).

Here are my favorites places to stay in Mendoza and surroundings.

The Best Hotels in Mendoza City

When planning a visit to Mendoza it’s easy to think you should stay IN Mendoza city.

It feels like the obvious answer.

But it isn’t what I would recommend for most travelers. The beauty here (like in most of Argentina) is outside of the city limits.

That said, if you’re a backpacker or young solo traveler who wants to meet people or enjoy the nightlife, the city would be a good fit. Maybe you’re just a city person. You know you best.

Here are my top places to stay in Mendoza city proper.

• Park Hyatt Mendoza | $$$$ | This is the best hotel in Mendoza city, located on Plaza Independencia, walking distance to the best restaurants. This hotel has everything under one roof – a spa, casino, various restaurants, a pool, and more. Check rates & availability here.
• Bed & Breakfast Plaza Italia | $$$ | We stayed at the Bed and Breakfast Plaza Italia on our first stay in Mendoza. The home was comfortable and central. In our case the bathroom was shared but we never had any issues with having to wait for it. It’s best for couples or even solo travelers. Check rates & availability here.
• Gorilla Hostel | $$ | With shared dorm-style rooms as well as private rooms. It is highly rated with free Wi-Fi and a great shared space complete with parrilla, a pool and ping pong table. Only a few blocks from the main square and Parque San Martin, it is walking distance from everything. Check rates & availability here.

The Best Hotels in Chacras de Coria

Chacras de Coria is the perfect compromise for Mendoza accommodation.

Close to the city? Check, it is just 15 minutes with an Uber.

Close the wineries? Also check, you can walk to some, bike to others, Uber to some, and hire a driver for the Uco Valley (it is what it is, it’s far).

I cannot recommend Chacras de Coria enough. I have to admit that it has grown and changed quite a bit since my first visit back in 2014 but it still feels like a beautiful oasis of a small town. It is cute, convenient, and good for both those who rent a car and those that don’t.

By staying here you’ll have the peace of a small town with the ease of staying in the city center, with tours and taxis at your doorstep.

• La Maria Boutique Hotel | $$$$ | We were lucky to visit the best new hotel in Mendoza this year. La Maria features 7 suites, each dedicated to an author with a private dry and wet sauna and plunge pool. A complete breakfast is delivered straight to your room. It’s minutes from the best vineyards and the best way to spoil yourself in Mendoza. No children allowed so this is ideal for couples or a girls’ trip. Check availability here.
• Lares de Chacras | $$$ | A lovely boutique hotel that has been a staple in Chacras de Coria for years. Rooms are cozy and the hotel features a lush garden, a pool to cool off in, and a buffet breakfast (a rarity in Argentina). Check availability here.
• Posada Borravino | $$ | We stayed here in 2018 with friends and it was a lovely boutique hotel at a friendly price point. We enjoyed wine in the patio by the pool, they also have bikes free for guests to use (and hey, there are vineyards within biking range ;)) Check availability here.

The Best Mendoza Winery Hotels in the Uco Valley

The Uco Valley is my favorite place to be in Mendoza. You are further from the city here at the foot of the Andes, and that’s how I like it.

This is where Mendoza’s quality wines are produced and the vineyards here are the most impressive.

The Uco Valley is what dreams are made of.

The one caveat is that it is much more enjoyable to be this far out if you have a rental car. Check rates/availability here to get an idea.

Here are my favorite options for where to stay in the Uco Valley.

Tupungato Divino

We spent two nights in Tupungato Divino and it was, to repeat the name, divine.

At around $150 US a night it is also very affordable for this region.

Tupungato Divino is made up of small cabins on a farm that grows grapes to sell to other wineries. The view from your bed consists of the vineyard, the Andes and one hell of a sunset.

There’s a restaurant on property serving up simple but very good lunches and dinners. The pool is also a bonus for hot summer afternoons.

Check availability here.

Finca la Azul Guesthouse

We also stayed at Finca la Azul Guesthouse.

Bodega La Azul is my favorite winery in Mendoza (they have the best winery lunch in the region and that is a hill I’ll die on).

Staying at their guesthouse after lunch with wine pairings at their restaurant was the perfect situation. We booked a later seating, at 2 pm. By taking our time and enjoying wine pairings to the fullest, we finished somewhere between 4-5 pm. Moving to the hotel at the back of the property was ideal.

The winery and guesthouse are a family project, and the hotel itself is actually the family’s original home that’s been reformed into a luxury wine hotel.

I can’t imagine being lucky enough to live in such a beautiful location, but lucky for us we were able to pretend it was home for one night.

The Best Mendoza Winery Hotels

The two Uco Valley properties above are my absolute favorites. One is budget friendly, the other is my favorite bodega. Both are at friendly price points for this region (which we have to admit, is a pricey one).

If they’re booked or you’d like to treat yourself to even more luxury, check out these other stand out Mendoza winery hotels. Most are also in the Uco Valley but a few are in Lujan de Cuyo, which is also home to some epic properties.

• Casa de Uco | $$$$$ | This is the best hotel in the Uco Valley (and with that nightly rate, it better be). This is the best place to spoil yourself with complimentary horseback rides, a pool, a spa, all within modern rooms featuring full length windows to the vineyards outside.
• The Vines | $$$$$ | Comparable in style, luxury, beauty, and of course, price, to Casa de Uco.
• Entre Cielos | $$$$$ | Entre Cielos is another 5 star property but in Lujan de Cuyo. 24 unique rooms among the vines with epic views of the Andes offer yoga classes, wine tastings, a hammam, and more.
• Posada Salentein | $$$$ | Salentein is a well known Uco Valley winery with classic luxury, the large pool is great for hot summer days and minutes from the best Uco Valley vineyards.
• Casa de Huéspedes Bodega Gimenez Riili | $$$$ | Similar in luxury and style to Posada Salentein, this is a family run vineyard on the Vines, an estate with other wineries making this Uco Valley hotel great for wine lovers.
• Club Tapiz | $$ | A winery hotel at a more budget friendly price point, Club Tapiz is between Maipu and Lujan de Cuyo and my family loved their stay there!

Stay on an Estancia in Mendoza

Wineries are the obvious choice, but estancias (ranches in Argentina) always offer unique boutique accommodation across Argentina and those in Mendoza are particularly beautiful here in the Andes.

Compliment your visits to the vineyards with a night or two on one of Mendoza’s many beautiful estancias.

We spent a night at Los Chulengos and it was spectacular. It is in the Uco Valley in the mountains above Tupungato.

These stays are typically all inclusive – including horseback rides and traditional asado lunches.
