The Bar/Lounge at El Casco Art Hotel

"Other standout features include a heated indoor/outdoor pool that billows steam into the chilly evening air and a winter transfer service for skiers to a private lounge at the foot of the Cerro Catedral slopes"

"First opened in 1970, El Casco Art Hotel, seven miles from Patagonia’s famed mountain resort Bariloche, had a reputation for restrained elegance throughout the seventies"

"Every detail refers back to this arty theme, without becoming heavy-handed; even the cocktails at the bar are inspired by specific painters and their palettes"

"The hotel is within 15 minutes of Bariloche, the ski area, and two 18-hole golf courses"

"The stone terrace is covered with lounge chairs for those that want to enjoy the lake view from there"
