Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Antumalal

A young Queen Elizabeth stayed here in the 1950s, as did actor Jimmy Stewart—and the Antumalal hasn't changed much since then. The designs, styles, and colors from that decade have all been maintained at this historic hotel, which feels like a country inn. It's perched atop a cliff just outside town above Lago Villarrica, and its cozy rooms have fireplaces and huge windows overlooking the lake and the spectacularly landscaped grounds. If you tire of the Jacuzzi or relaxing with a refreshing pisco sour on the wisteria-shaded deck, just ask the hotel to arrange an outdoor adventure like fly-fishing, hiking, or sailing.
