Golf and tennis are both available, plus there’s a vineyard with a bodega for wine tastings.

The tall, elegant tower of this downtown hotel looks out on the Plaza Italia, and the rooftop pool gives you a view over the city center. Rooms are spacious, if a bit scruffy around the edges.

With only four rooms, this handsome bed-and-breakfast guarantees personalized service within walking distance of the city center, lots of restaurants, and Parque General San Martín.

Secluded adobe guesthouses have their own plunge pool, star-gazing roof terrace (with a fireplace), living room, and walk-in shower—a romantic setting that's made this one of the top honeymoon destinations in Mendoza. Inside a gracious colonial villa, the reception hall is washed in sunlight from high windows, and the common areas are decorated in a luxurious bohemian style.

An on-site spa offers aromatherapy and vinotherapy treatments and a dedicated tourism team can organize horseback-riding, rafting, biking, and visits to local wineries.

The nearby additional house, Casa Zolo, can offer more privacy for a large family. The inn’s restaurant, Terruño ($$$$, reservations essential), serves seasonal dishes that marry local ingredients (many from their own garden) with wine in a tasting menu; like the food, the setting is tasteful and the owner is an avid art collector.
