With a dose of madness, a historic 1929 house in the city of Punta Arenas has transformed into a marvelous boutique hotel with a themed restaurant, where visitors can enjoy a wonderful view of the Strait of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego.
Tucked into a restored British-style mansion built in 1929, the 15-room hotel occupies a prime location in Punta Arenas just four blocks from the main square and adjacent to the iconic Cerro de la Cruz viewpoint.
Hotel founders Paola Milosevic and Sergio Solar determined from the very start that Yegua Loca’s design and décor should reflect traditions deeply rooted in Chilean Patagonia. For instance, both guest rooms and public areas are filled with original antiques and artworks typical of the sheep and cattle estancias (ranches) created by the Croatian, English, Spanish, Portuguese and other pioneers who settled Patagonia in the late 1800s and early 20th century.
Restaurante La Yegua Loca offers exquisite regional cuisine, menus that combine traditional recipes conceived by immigrant grandmothers with the finest, freshest produce, seafoods and meats from the Magallanes region. The bar features a fun and unique selection of signature cocktails, complemented by pisco sours, artisanal liqueurs, macerated spirits and non-alcoholic drinks.
