Praised by travelers, the Singular Patagonia, which was elected for the 3rd consecutive year the best hotel in Chile according to Trip Advisor, celebrates its centenary this year. A rich and eventful history for this hotel at the end of the world, ideally located near the legendary Torres del Paine National Park, in the heart of Chilean Patagonia.

At the end of 19e century, the Chilean government encourages the settlement of Patagonia, a region completely unknown at that time. Responding to this call, many European pioneers set out to "try their luck" as breeders in this end of the Chilean world.

A few years later, in 1915, the largest and most modern cold store in Latin America was created (the Frigorífico Puerto Bories) to store and export meat. For more than 50 years, this factory was the real economic lung of the region. It was even the main exporter of meat to Europe during the First and Second World War. Little by little, due to lack of demand, the factory ceased its activities and went through a period of decay ...

100 years of a European-Patagonian history

Acquired by direct descendants of two pioneer families, whose ancestors had worked in the factory, the Frigorífico Puerto Bories was renovated in its former glory and then declared a historic monument in 1996.

After having built a museum dedicated to the history of the place, it was in 2011 that these two families decided to transform the building into a luxury hotel, while keeping the museum: thus “was born” the Singular Patagonia 5 *.

This exceptional hotel harmoniously combines historical heritage, industrial decoration and modern comfort in a post-Victorian building. In addition, the hotel has two restaurants, a bar and a museum, all located in the area classified as a historic monument; the 57 (spacious) rooms and the 300 m² spa are located in the "new" section and enjoy a view of the majestic fjords.

Finally, the hotel offers more than 20 excursions (private boat through the fjords, hiking, horse riding, kayaking, cycling and fly fishing) to discover authentic Patagonia. A real trip to the heart of history and the Patagonian landscapes!
