Malvina House Hotel

Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas)


All rooms here are smoke free and have direct-dial phones and satellite TV. Three larger harbor-view suites cost an additional 20%. The fine restaurant (noon to 1.30pm and 7pm to 9pm), in a glassed-in conservatory, is the town's best eatery. Starters include upland goose pâté, and mains range from hamburgers to slow-braised local lamb. The Beagle Bar adjoins.

The original Malvina House was built on this site in the 1880s by sheep farmer John James Felton, who named it for his youngest daughter.
