Amerian Rafaela Hotel
Rooftop pool and spa above Boulevard Lehmann
About this hotel
The rooftop pool is the reason to remember this address in a city built around dairy cooperatives rather than tourism, with views over Rafaela's low skyline and the flat farmland beyond Boulevard Lehmann. Days here split between business meetings near the compact downtown grid and slower stretches at the sauna or a massage booked through the spa desk, while the sun terrace catches the last light before dinner at the hotel's own coffee shop. Family rooms and soundproofing keep things comfortable for parents traveling with kids, and the buffet breakfast covers enough ground that nobody needs a second stop before hitting Route 34 again. It reads less like a resort and more like a well-run business hotel that happens to have a proper pool, which in Rafaela is a genuine rarity.

Our take
This suits business travelers passing through the dairy trade and families breaking up a long Route 34 drive more than dedicated leisure seekers chasing a resort experience. The rooftop pool and sauna are real standouts for a working city like Rafaela, and the family rooms make sense for anyone stopping near the Autodromo Ciudad de Rafaela. Travelers wanting nightlife or a walkable tourist strip should look toward Santa Fe city instead, since Rafaela's evenings wind down early.
- Request a room away from the boulevard-facing side if street noise bothers you at night, the soundproofing varies by floor.
- Book the rooftop pool hours around late afternoon, that is when the crowd from checkout has cleared.
- Ask about the sauna schedule at reception, it can shift when the Autodromo hosts a race weekend nearby.
Why we love it
- The rooftop swimming pool over Boulevard Lehmann
- A real sauna and massage service, not just a gym
