NEW OPENING 2026: The World’s Southernmost Hotel in Puerto Williams, Chile, by Silversea
The Cormorant at 55 South – opening January 2026
Nestled in the heart of the Fuegian Archipelago and scheduled to welcome Silversea guests from January 2026, The Cormorant at 55 South will proudly stand as the southernmost hotel in the world, offering 150-rooms and two distinct views, including serene forest views and tranquil water vistas overlooking the Beagle Channel. This design aims to bring guests closer to the breathtaking natural beauty of Patagonia, immersing them in the landscapes that define this region and allowing them to explore deeper before their journey to Antarctica.
The Cormorant is a nod to the unique location of the property at 55° S and an acknowledgement of the location’s history. Paying homage to Lakutaia, which is the indigenous Yahgan word for cormorant, the aquatic bird is a symbol of the seafarer and intended to bestow good fortune on guests embarking on their greatest adventure.

Welcoming guests from the moment they arrive will be The Cormorant’s own dedicated staff – all trained in The Silversea Way to provide the high level of service that is synonymous with Silversea. While the hotel has been designed and developed as part of Silversea’s Antarctica Fly-Cruise offering, it will be open to other travellers not on a Silversea expedition as of Antarctica Season 2026/2027 (October 2026 – March 2027), occupancy allowing.
Guests will be able to choose from a variety of guided excursions and activities tailored to different activity levels. These experiences will provide intimate access to the subpolar landscapes, from the Magellanic subpolar forests such as those in Parque Municipal Ukika to panoramic vistas, and more.
