Silversea Unveils Public Spaces at Soon-to-Be World’s Southernmost Hotel

Silversea has provided a first look at the public spaces within its soon-to-open hotel, which is set to become the world’s southernmost accommodation of its kind. The property, located in Puerto Williams, Chile, is scheduled to open in December 2024.

Details of the New Hotel

The hotel, named Silversea Lodge, will be situated in Puerto Williams, which lies on Navarino Island at the southern tip of Chile. Once operational, it will hold the distinction of being the southernmost hotel in the world. The opening is planned for December 2024, coinciding with the start of the Antarctic cruise season.

Design and Amenities

Silversea Lodge will feature 30 rooms, each offering views of the Beagle Channel and the surrounding landscapes. The interiors are designed to reflect the natural environment of the region, with the use of local materials and a color palette inspired by the area’s scenery.

The public areas of the hotel will include a restaurant, bar, lounge, and library. The restaurant will serve cuisine that highlights local ingredients, while the lounge and bar will provide spaces for guests to relax before or after their Antarctic voyages. The library will offer resources on the region’s history, wildlife, and geography.

Strategic Location for Antarctic Cruises

Puerto Williams serves as a gateway for Antarctic expeditions. The opening of Silversea Lodge is intended to support travelers embarking on cruises to the Antarctic Peninsula. The hotel’s location is designed to facilitate convenient access to Silversea’s expedition ships, which depart from the nearby port.
