Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa: A Dramatic Perch at the End of the World

Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa clings dramatically to the Cerro Alarkén nature reserve high above Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city, at the very tip of South America. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader wrapped in glass and stone, it looks out over the Beagle Channel and the snow-streaked mountains of Tierra del Fuego, a base for the end of the world.

The dining draws on Patagonia. La Cravia is a haute-cuisine restaurant of king crab, lamb and Patagonian sea bass with Beagle Channel views under chef Mariano Cachiotti; and the Lobby Bar Restaurant serves signature dishes and specialties from Tierra del Fuego throughout the day.

For a dramatic, end-of-the-world Patagonia stay, Arakur is a standout.
