Ranqueles
Year-round pool with free bikes for the Costanera
About this hotel
Ranqueles runs its outdoor pool year-round rather than seasonally, pairing it with a sun terrace, garden and an outdoor fireplace that extends outdoor evenings into the cooler months. The restaurant and bar cover meals without a Peatonal walk, and free bike hire gives guests an easy way to reach the Costanera without arranging separate rental. Private check-in and check-out, a 24-hour front desk and free on-site parking round out a stay that guests consistently praise for its breakfast, staff and room cleanliness. Few family hotels in Villa Carlos Paz bother with free bike hire on top of a year-round pool, and that combination is what keeps Ranqueles competitive against pricier resort-style addresses nearby.

- Year-round pool
- Outdoor fireplace
- On-site dining
Our take
This suits families and couples who want a year-round pool and free bike access to the Costanera without extra rental costs. Guests rate the location well for a two-person trip, and the outdoor fireplace is worth using on a cooler Sierras Chicas evening. Travellers seeking a hillside spa retreat rather than a family-pool hotel should look toward the sierra-facing properties instead.
- Take the free bikes to the Costanera in the morning before the paddle-boat crowds fill the lakefront path
- Use the outdoor fireplace on a cooler evening instead of retreating indoors after dinner
- Book a table at the on-site restaurant ahead on weekends, it draws guests staying elsewhere in town too
Why we love it
- Year-round outdoor pool
- Free bike hire
- Outdoor fireplace and picnic area
- On-site restaurant and bar
Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the free bike hire a genuine money-saver for reaching the Costanera, skipping a rental fee that adds up over a multi-day stay. The year-round pool stayed usable even on a cooler September visit, and the outdoor fireplace turned a chilly evening into an actual reason to stay outside rather than retreat to the room. It ended up being one of the more memorable small details of the whole trip.
