Sarah – Industrial History and Casonas

If you are looking for a hotel in Sarah and want to consider architectural and industrial history as well as location, Hotel Rural La Pampeana offers a specific point of reference. Its history is connected with the former Frigorífico La Pampeana; old Casonas are also part of Sarah’s architectural heritage.

Sarah on Ruta 188

Sarah can be reached via the Ruta 188 national highway. Hotel Rural La Pampeana is located in Sarah on this highway at kilometer 426.8. The town is also included in a planned tourist corridor along Ruta 188. For your planning, these are two distinct connections: the national highway provides access to Sarah and is the hotel’s location reference; the corridor remains a planned tourism project. This lets you distinguish the accommodation’s specific location from the broader route concept.

A town with an industrial history

The province’s first Frigorífico is part of Sarah’s architectural heritage and was converted into Hotel Rural La Pampeana. The hotel is located in the former chalet of Mr. Fuchs and takes its name from the former Frigorífico La Pampeana. These connections place the hotel’s history in the context of both the former business and the history of the chalet building.

Frigorífico La Pampeana processed cheese, butter, ice cream, cold cuts, and agricultural products. Frigorífico La Pampeana was established in La Chispa in 1915; the Hotel Rural La Pampeana named after it, by contrast, is located in Sarah.

Old Casonas and architectural details

Sarah’s old Casonas include buildings with high walls, capitals, and balustrades. These terms refer to specific architectural features: a capital forms the top of a column, while a balustrade is a railing divided into sections. This makes it possible to focus on individual details rather than referring to old houses only in general terms as historic architecture. The Casonas offer a different perspective from La Pampeana: here, the architectural features of older houses are in focus, while there, the history of the former Frigorífico and its conversion into a hotel take center stage.

Restaurant Internacional

Restaurant Internacional at La Pampeana has a large main dining room and a smaller, separate room. If you would like to include a meal stop in your plans, check directly with the establishment in advance to confirm current availability.

Chapaleufú as a broader context

Cabins and camping are available on the grounds of Centro Termal Bernardo Larroudé in the broader destination of Chapaleufú. There is also a restaurant and facilities for sports and leisure activities. If you are comparing different types of accommodation, you can compare La Pampeana, a hotel with architectural and industrial history, with the options on the grounds of Centro Termal.
