Hosteria Foike
An eco-friendly inn with glacier and channel excursions
About this hotel
Hosteria Foike overlooks both the Beagle Channel and the Ushuaian mountains, positioning itself as an eco-friendly, stylish inn rather than a stripped-down eco-camp experience that sacrifices comfort for the sake of the label. The library and art gallery on site give guests a genuine reason to spend time at the property beyond just sleeping and eating, useful on a wind-locked afternoon between excursions. Every heated guest bedroom includes free WiFi, an LCD TV, a private bathroom, a safety deposit box and a hairdryer, and the elevator to access rooms is a small but real convenience after a demanding excursion day. The tour desk arranges Martial Glacier treks, Bird Island boat trips and seasonal dog-sled or snowmobile outings directly through the property.

- Library and gallery
Our take
This suits travellers wanting an eco-conscious base without sacrificing comfort, particularly those building a multi-activity Ushuaia stay around glacier treks, boat trips and winter excursions. The tour desk's direct booking genuinely simplifies logistics compared with arranging each activity separately downtown. Guests wanting a full resort spa or downtown nightlife access should look toward a different property instead of this excursion-focused, eco-minded inn.
- Book the Martial Glacier trek directly through the property's tour desk on arrival, since weather windows shift quickly during the season.
- Use the library and art gallery on a weather-delayed morning rather than heading out into uncertain conditions.
- Ask about combining a Bird Island boat trip with a winter dog-sled outing, since the same tour desk handles both bookings.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the heated room with a proper hot shower after a cold day on the Martial Glacier trail confirmed the eco-lodge ethos hadn't cost any real comfort during the stay. The library became a go-to spot on a wind-locked afternoon when the tour desk pushed the Bird Island boat trip back a day for weather. The channel and mountain view from the property made even a rest day between excursions feel worthwhile.
