At Pensión Temuco (Piloto Pardo 224, tel. 061/621113, US$12.50–17 pp), rates vary according to shared or private bath; it also serves meals. The nearby Residencial Pusaky (Piloto Pardo 242, tel. 061/621116, US$14–18 pp) is comparable.

Refugio Coirón (Ricardo Maragaño 168, tel. 061/621227, fax 061/621150, coiron [at] simltd [dot] com, US$13.50 pp with shared bath) has very good accommodations with kitchen privileges. It’s a better choice than the friendly but basic Hostería Onashaga (Uspachún 290, tel. 061/621081, US$16 pp–US$33 d), which has multibedded rooms with shared bath and others with private baths.

The top choice is the utterly transformed, 24-room Hotel Lakutaia (tel. 061/621733, www.lakutaia.cl, US$200/250 s/d), which is more a destination than just accommodations; it also has a fine restaurant. Off-season rates (May–mid-October) are about 25 percent lower.

South America’s southernmost bar/restaurant, the Club de Yates Micalvi, occupies the main deck and the bridge of the historic vessel that lies grounded in Puerto Williams’s inner harbor. The Pingüino Pub is at the Centro Comercial.
