Diego de Almagro would rank higher if its brand site had loaded. A listing describes an indoor heated pool, a spa, a gym, a restaurant and a sea-view bar — but the chain’s own site blocked our reader, and listings don’t earn points.
Even the size is unsettled. One listing says 50 rooms, another 181.
If the pool matters, confirm it with the hotel before you book.
Book it if
- You want Strait views and will confirm the pool
- You want private parking
Look elsewhere if
- You want facts from the hotel itself
- You want breakfast confirmed
Your night before, from here

Getting here, and on to the ship
By our map estimate Diego de Almagro is about 17.9 km from Punta Arenas Airport in a straight line, and about 750 m from Muelle Prat. Every question mark below is a ride you book yourself.
No airport ride is listed. Budget for a taxi or the minibus from arrivals.
No ride to the pier is listed. Muelle Prat is about 750 m away by our map, along the waterfront; take a taxi with bags.
From PUQ without a hotel shuttle
No fare is published by the airport or an operator that we could find. Three unofficial guides put a shared van at about CLP 5,000 to 6,000 a head and a taxi at about CLP 10,000 to 13,000. There’s no direct city bus, though Bus-Sur’s Natales buses stop at the airport if you ask when you buy the ticket, per one of those guides. Antarctica21 and Quark include the group transfer from the airport on Day 1, so check your documents first. The airport page has what is and isn’t published.
Private parking for your stay, per the listing — though nothing covers the voyage.

Flying in the morning you sail? Australis checks in from 13:00 to 17:00, and both air-cruise lines want you in town by early afternoon; the airport page has the landing check.
Which quay
Muelle PratMeasured to Muelle Prat, where Australis checks you in from 13:00 to 17:00 and boards at 18:00, Diego de Almagro is about 750 m away in a straight line. Flying the Drake with Antarctica21 or Quark instead? Then the pier doesn’t matter — your day starts at the operator’s briefing in town and ends at the airport. The Punta Arenas cruise guide keeps the two apart.
