Las Terrazas Hotel Boutique

The hotel impresses with impeccable cleanliness, spacious rooms, and excellent service. Its prime location near the central plaza and convenient parking add to its appeal. Some rooms offer beautiful views.

We stayed for 2-nights in late-Sep at Las Terrazas Hotel Boutique in Tilcara ($103 Can/night). The hotel, located off a dirt road in a quiet residential area 4-blocks from the central plaza, is nestled in a green wooded oasis at the base of the mountain. The hotel cascades down the slope in a series of terraces, the bottom terrace housing reception, one of the middle terraces with the small pool, and the upper terrace with the breakfast area. Our superior double room was spacious with a queen bed and side tables, table with 2 chairs, and a separate dressing area with a closet, shelves, mini-refrigerator, sink and vanity. The bathroom had a large walk-in shower. The room was fronted by a wide, gravel patio with a couple of chairs. Although we were on the lower-middle terrace, we still had a view around the trees of the mountains across the valley. From what we could see, the upper terrace rooms were also somewhat obstructed by the tall trees, so the terrace level didn't seem to matter much for the view, and the top levels required a bit of an arduous high altitude climb with luggage. The was a small infinity pool with views of the trees, but had only 4 loungers, and the water was cloudy, indicating poor maintenance. Breakfast was basic, ham, cheese, baked items, juices; there were eggs, but you had to know to ask for them, and there was mate tea to help cope with the altitude. The hotel had parking at the entrance, and in a lot to the side. While the hotel was beautifully designed and maintained, and our room was spacious and comfortable, it was the staff, and especially the lady at the front desk, who made our stay special. When the area lost power on the morning that we were leaving, it prevented us from getting vital information about our accommodation for that night. She went way beyond what we could have expected to help us and sent us on our way with everything we needed. Great customer service, great hospitality, and all at a very reasonable price. This is the place to stay in Tilcara!
