How are the hotels in Salta?
Hello everyone! Today I am here to share my experience in Salta, Argentina, a hidden gem in the north of the country. In particular, let’s talk about its hotels, because who doesn’t want a cozy and comfortable place to rest after a day of exploration? On my last visit, I discovered that the hotels in Salta have a particular charm, a mixture of tradition and modernity, but above all, human warmth.
Traditional and modern hotels
Traditional hotels in Salta are usually located in period buildings, some of them even dating back to the colonial period. The rooms have an authentic style, full of history and local flavor, with wooden furniture and wrought iron details. And you know what the best part is? Many of these hotels offer incredible views of the city and the mountains.
On the other hand, modern hotels offer all the comforts of high-end accommodations. Free Wi-Fi, cable TV, swimming pools, fitness centers, and often, mouth-watering cuisine. But even in these modern hotels, we find details that remind us that we are in Salta, such as local artwork in the rooms or regional recipes in the restaurants.
The hospitality of Salta
One of the aspects that most captivated me about the hotels in Salta was the hospitality. From the moment you set foot in any hotel in Salta, you are greeted with a friendly smile and they are always ready to help you. Do you need recommendations to visit the best places in the city? Do you want to know the best time to visit the Salinas Grandes? Don’t hesitate to ask the hotel staff, they are true local experts.
Strategic location
Another important aspect is location. Many of the hotels in Salta are located in the center of the city, close to the main tourist attractions. In just a few minutes you can reach the Cathedral of Salta, the Cabildo or the Mercado Artesanal. If you prefer nature, there are also hotels located on the outskirts of the city, where you can enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the Salta landscape.
We have created a list of the best luxury hotels in Salta, Argentina. We hope you enjoy it. We believe it may be the best of its kind. Tip: Set your dates to see room rates!
