Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Cabaña del Lago

Encompassing a large swath of the western end of the Puerto Varas waterfront, the biggest hotel in the city has a full slate of services, including a spa, pool, gym, children's playroom, and outdoor hot tubs. The location is ideal, just a few minutes' walk from downtown yet situated in a tranquil spot by the lake. The restaurant and bar have a nice outdoor deck. All guest rooms have lake views, and the 32 "eco-cabins" utilize sustainable building concepts such as geothermal and aerothermal pumps for heating and hot water.
