Grace Cafayate

For the first time, Grace Hotels brings its distinctively elegant brand to a boutique luxury hotel and spa in Argentina. Nestled in the heart of Calchaquí Valley, Grace Cafayate forms a part of La Estancia de Cafayate, a secluded wine and residential sporting estate with meandering vineyards, horse pastures, polo fields, and an 18-hole golf course designed by Bob Cupp, all within view of the spectacular Andean Mountains. The colonial charm, outstanding architecture, lush landscape, and warm hospitality make Grace Cafayate an unforgettable destination in Northern Argentina.

Property Details

Upon arrival at Grace Cafayate, enjoy a complimentary glass of local Torrontes for which this area has become so respected. Guests have a choice between 10 Deluxe Rooms and two ultra-luxurious Grace Suites in the main hotel, or 20 self-contained villa suites alongside the hotel, all of which showcase black and white photography by local artist Eliseo Miciu and offer uninterrupted panoramic views of distant snow-capped peaks and the Calchaqui valley vineyards stretching out for miles. Rooms and suites are equipped with 42-inch HD LCD televisions, iPod/iPhone docking stations, air conditioning, under-floor heating, and luxury Organ & Co. bathroom amenities, while the villa suites offer exclusive amenities such as sun loungers, hot tubs, barbecues on the terrace, wine cellar, open fireplace, and a kitchenette—a perfect location for entertaining friends and family whilst enjoying the world-class wines and cuisines of the region.

Delight in a la carte breakfasts and light lunches of salads, delectable pasta dishes, and regional specialties of empanadas, tamales, and humitas during the day, then retreat to the open kitchen of Muse by Jonathan Cartwright for gourmet, modern European cuisine and dishes featuring the country’s finest beef, lamb, goat,  and llama to pay homage to many of the local culinary traditions of Argentina. The hotel plays host to an exciting array of fine wines, best to be slowly savored by the open fire at the hotel’s wine bar or in the cozy cigar lounge, taking in dramatic views of the valley at sunset. For more casual fare, the Pool Bar and Grill is perfect for al fresco dining, featuring local cheeses, grilled Argentinian beef burgers, and shrimp on the parilla, and Grace’s signature cocktail of apple juice, pear purée, lemon juice, and premium vodka with a hint of lemongrass. Guests staying in the villas may even request raw ingredients to cook at their own parilla.

Grace Cafayate’s spa and fitness center is massive and replenishing, with therapies based around locally sourced crystal salt and grapes and grapevines from the Cafayate vineyards and four treatment rooms, each with private shower and magnificent views of the vineyards and mountains to the east, plus a double treatment suite featuring two massage beds, a sauna, whirlpool, private hammam, double walk-in shower, and private terrace with shower and sun loungers. Spend time relaxing at the spa or accessing all of the superb facilities of La Estancia de Cafayata, which include one of the best golf courses in Argentina, a lively golf club house with indoor pool, gym, and squash courts, two polo fields, and tours of the extensive vineyards engulfing the hotel.
