The Llao Llao Hotel is located in the tourist resort of San Carlos de Bariloche within the Río Negro, Argentina. This famous hotel is situated in the foothills of the Andes on a hill between the Moreno Lake and Nahuel Huapi lakes.
The original hotel, designed by Alejandro Bustillo, was made almost entirely of wood and furnished by Jean-Michel Frank and Casa Comte, was destroyed by fire soon after its completion in 1939. A year later Bustillo built a new hotel out of reinforced concrete and stone, with the assistance of the German landscaping architect Hermann Botrich. It closed in 1976 due to lack of funds for maintenance. While it was closed, the hotel was exposed to robbery, vandalism and overall neglect.
It was renovated and reopened in 1993 after ownership was transferred to CEI Citicorp Holdings in compensation for Argentina government bonds. The Argentinian property company IRSA acquired the hotel in 1997 for $13.3 million and later sold 50% of its stake to the Sutton Group. In 1999 the hotel became a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, and has won many important prizes since its re-opening, including "The Best Hotel and Resort in the Argentine Hinterland" in 1999.
The hotel is the site of the annual classical music festival, Semana Musical Llao Llao.

National Geographic has categorized Cerro Campanario as one of the 8 best views in the world! From the world I cannot confirm, but in the Andean Lakes Region it certainly is.
With an altitude of just over a thousand meters above sea level, this hill offers a panoramic view of the region's mountains and lakes.

Located in the southern Andes and on the border between Argentina and Chile. The mountain is in between two national parks - Nahuel Huapi Park in the Argentine provinces of Río Negro and Neuquén and Vicente Pérez Rosales Park in the province of Llanquihue, Chile.
The mountain’s name comes from the Spanish word for thunder, a reference to the sound that the breaking ice glaciers make. It is 3,554 metres (11,660 feet) above sea level , towering over the surrounding Nahuel Huapi Park mountains. Mount Tronador has seven glaciers which are melting because of global warming.
Mount Tronador is Bariloche's highest mountain.
About 225 km (140 miles) from downtown Bariloche.

A mountaintop with stunning scenery from the summit and what travel guides have described as "the best views in the world". A series of viewpoints serve as natural windows to outstanding one-of-a-kind landscapes.
From Mount Campanario I saw the Nahuel Huapi and Moreno lakes, the small El Trébol lake, the San Pedro peninsula, Victoria Island, mount Otto, López, Goye, Bellavista, Catedral, Capilla, the Llao Llao hotel and the small wood surrounding Colonia Suiza.
There's a cafeteria at the summit where I treated myself to the best pastries, daily specials and beverages, while watching the world go by from the large window.
Because of its location, Mount Campanario is included in the Short Circuit tour. I could either trek up the mountain myself or take a chair lift. The chair lift took me to the summit in about 7 minutes. The summit is about 1,050 meters (3,400 feet) above sea level and so most able-bodied people should be able to hike up with little effort. The ascent takes around 30 minutes through a trail across the forest. It's a lovely walk, they say!
