The Four Seasons Buenos Aires starts with a stunning French-style mansion, and runs with it — even in the newer 13-story main building, the interiors are as Belle Epoque as you’re likely to come across
“Inside, the decor mixes traditional with contemporary aesthetics—think mahogany and leather furnishings, and decor and amenities that play up Argentina's passions for horses, tango, and wine.”
“Located in the historic La Recoleta neighbourhood, the Four Seasons Buenos Aires has undergone a complete renovation of its rooms and suites…”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along Calle Posadas on the edge of Recoleta, the property sits a short walk from Avenida Alvear palaces and Patio Bullrich.
The rooms
Tower rooms feature mahogany furnishings and leather headboards, while the historic mansion holds suites finished in toile de Jouy and gilded boiseries.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated Roman-style outdoor pool sits in private gardens, reflecting the facade of the historic mansion.
The gym and spa
The fitness center looks out toward the pool. In the spa, massage treatments incorporate Argentine red wine.
Dogs stay too.

Nuestro Secreto
The glasshouse restaurant sits beside the pool, serving traditional open-fire Argentine barbecues in the garden.
At the table
Pony Line Bar serves craft cocktails among equestrian leather decor and tables shaped like vintage travel trunks.

“The hotel fuses a sleek 12-storey high-rise with the three-floor Belle Epoque mansion, La Mansion…”
