Lares de Chacras
Rustic-chic country house. Andean stone walls, wood-beam ceilings, whitewashed rooms, indigenous artwork, crackling stone fireplace. Homey without being dowdy.
Ask for a room upgrade to one with a fireplace — some rooms have their own working fireplace, not just access to the lobby one.
Why It Matters
One of the few properties in Chacras de Coria with a MICHELIN Key. Has its own small Malbec vineyard (Viña Lares), serves guests daily tastings from the cellar, and runs a genuinely good restaurant. The stone fireplace lounge alone is worth arriving at dusk for.
A family-owned, 4-star boutique hotel in Chacras de Coria, about 25 minutes from central Mendoza. Built from Andean stone and local desert wood, the place has the feel of a proper country house — not a slick resort. There are up to 16 rooms across the main building and a separate guest house, a shaded outdoor pool with a hot tub, an on-site wine cellar stocked with their own Viña Lares Malbec (first harvested 2020), and a restaurant that earns genuine praise. The MICHELIN Guide awarded it 1 Key. It's not flashy, but everything that matters is done well.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Casa Vita
Part of the separate Guest House annex that expanded the property to a total of 16 rooms. Compact but king-bedded. Good for those who want a slightly more private, self-contained feel away from the main house.
King · 20 sqm
Classic Room
The entry-level room, but still spacious by boutique standards. Wood floors, whitewashed walls, exposed beams, and wooden trunk details. Sliding glass doors on ground-floor versions open directly to the garden. Quiet and calm.
Queen or Twin · 23 sqm
Special Room
A step up in size and comfort, with a king bed. The added square footage makes a real difference. Some in this category have a balcony. Same rustic-elegant aesthetic as the rest of the property.
King · 28 sqm
Superior Room
The largest standard room category, with the king bed and the most floor space. Some Superior rooms have their own fireplace — the most requested upgrade. Definitely worth asking for.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Can be arranged through the hotel. Good way to explore the surrounding vineyard landscape.

Arranged excursions to the Mendoza River for rafting. The hotel is 30 km from the mountains.
There's a play room with a pool table next to the wine bar — a good spot to decompress after a day of tastings.
