Rayentray
Rayentray is a hotel in Puerto Madryn, set along the Patagonian coast, with rooms facing either the sea or the city. The building has clean, traditional lines and sits within walking distance of the beach and the port.
The hotel was founded more than 50 years ago as a family project, at a time when Puerto Madryn was still a small fishing town. As interest in Patagonian wildlife grew, it became a go-to base for travelers arriving to see the region's nature.
The name Rayentray comes from the Mapuche language and roughly translates to "flower of the path". This connection to the local indigenous culture is reflected in the decor and the way the space feels tied to its Patagonian surroundings.
The hotel is close to the port, where boat trips to watch whales and dolphins depart, and the staff can help arrange outings. From here, penguin colonies and nearby natural parks are also within easy reach.
The hotel uses solar technology and a rainwater harvesting system, which is uncommon for a property on the Atlantic coast. These choices show in small details of the building that observant visitors can notice during their stay.
