Minor Hotels Announces Anantara Property in Argentina - The Luxury Brand to Debut at the ‘End of the World’ in Ushuaia

Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and Group CEO of Minor International. "Bringing Anantara to South America is a key priority for the Group, and we are thrilled to introduce our brand in a setting as bold, remote and awe-inspiring as Ushuaia."

Anantara’s signature experience-led luxury to arrive in Argentina with a landmark resort in Patagonian wilderness, defined by sustainable, destination-driven hospitality

Minor Hotels, an international hotel owner, operator and investor, is pleased to announce the signing of a new Anantara property to be developed in Ushuaia, Argentina. Set to open in early 2028, Anantara Ushuaia Patagonia Resort will be located in the southernmost city in the world, where the dramatic Andes Mountains meet the icy waters of the Beagle Channel.

Nestled within Ushuaia’s Costa Susana master plan, in close proximity to Tierra del Fuego National Park, the new-build waterfront resort will offer 60 luxurious guest rooms and suites, an extensive spa and wellness facility at sea level, signature dining concepts and meeting facilities.

True to Anantara’s experiential DNA, the property will immerse guests in transformative and locally anchored experiences – while remaining deeply committed to environmental preservation. The Costa Susana development has been selected to participate in the World Architecture Festival's Landscape and Environment category – Argentina’s first such nomination – and proudly stands as the first carbon-neutral real estate development in the country.

The hotel management agreement is with Fideicomiso Urbanización Monte Susana, an Argentinean development group consisting of two partners with over 20 years of experience in real estate development, specialised in the creation of residential projects in the Ushuaia and the Tierra del Fuego region.

"Ushuaia, often called the ‘End of the World,’ is the gateway to Antarctica and a breathtaking destination in its own right," said Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and Group CEO of Minor International. "Bringing Anantara to South America is a key priority for the Group, and we are thrilled to introduce our brand in a setting as bold, remote and awe-inspiring as Ushuaia."

With Argentina’s growing reputation as a premier leisure destination, Ushuaia stands out with its unique blend of Antarctic adventure and pristine wilderness. It’s an ideal match for Anantara’s luxury-with-purpose philosophy. Nearby attractions include world-class ski resorts, journeys on the iconic End of the World Train, luxury cruises to Antarctic and South American ports, and exploration of Tierra del Fuego National Park – a 70,000-hectare sanctuary of Patagonia’s last Andean peaks and dramatic coastal ecosystems.

"Anantara Ushuaia is a major step in our growth strategy for the Americas and a fulfilment of a long-held ambition," commented Gonzalo Aguilar, CEO of Minor Hotels Europe & Americas. "With our partners’ deep local expertise and our shared vision, we are confident the property will become a benchmark for immersive, sustainable hospitality at the edge of the world."

Melitón González del Solar, the spokesperson from Fideicomiso Urbanización Monte Susana, commented, "Partnering with Minor Hotels to introduce Anantara to our country is incredibly exciting. Ushuaia’s raw natural beauty and spirit of discovery are perfectly matched by Anantara’s experience-led ethos. We’re equally proud to work with a brand that shares our values in protecting the environment and uplifting local communities. Together, we are creating a benchmark green hotel for the region...

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2025 - 2026

Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service seven years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.

Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.

We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.

Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."
