The recently updated Ecocamp by Patagonia is a hotel made up of multiple sustainable geodesic domes. Placed in the center of Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, these domes are surrounded by mountains, lakes and glaciers.
There is an option to have a hostel-like experience by sharing a room, or stay in the renovated upscale suits that have a private bath, a wood-burning stove, double bed and a private outdoor terrace. Both options have full access to Patagonia's yoga space and the community domes that gives guests a place to try traditional Chilean food and alcoholic beverages.
The Ecocamp by Patagonia offers multiple tours that involve hiking, touring the area and wildlife safaris.
