Hotel Del Casco
Buenos Aires, Argentina
San Isidro
Vibe
Ionic columns, original mosaic tile floors, and leafy courtyards set a stately tempo beneath the central glass-roofed atrium.
“Aristocratic garden palazzo”
Crystal chandeliers, antique tapestries, oil paintings, and an airy glass-roofed conservatory looking onto tranquil garden courtyards.
An 1892 neoclassical summer palazzo restored with high ceilings, original mosaic floors, and slender Ionic columns.
Egyptian cotton sheets, roll-top bathtubs, evening turndown service, and an optional four-bedroom villa with a private pool.
In leafy San Isidro, steps from Plaza Mitre and the neo-Gothic cathedral.
“The palazzo was restored in 2003, but the building’s grand rooms, patios, and conservatory retain their original old-fashioned elegance.”
Rooms
High ceilings and polished hardwood floors frame antique armoires, while restored bathrooms feature deep roll-top bathtubs.
Wellness
The rear garden hosts a fountain-fed swimming pool with sun loungers, complemented by a sauna and Turkish steam bath.
Backstory
Built in 1892 as an aristocratic family summer residence, the neoclassical palazzo was carefully restored in 2003.
Eat & drink
Morning pastries and made-to-order eggs are served in the glass-roofed conservatory, with evening drinks in the courtyard lounge bar.
The neighborhood
Set in residential San Isidro, leafy cobblestone streets lead past historic mansions to Plaza Mitre and the neo-Gothic cathedral.

Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
