This is the most popular luxury hotel in El Calafate.

Considering its location, you cannot walk to restaurants or shops. You do need a rental car or taxis to get into town. The hotel does offer a couple daily shuttles. Also, keep in mind most tours offer transfers and hotel pick ups. There is a restaurant on property if you'd prefer not to go into town for dinner.
