What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
there’s truly nothing quite like Recoleta’s Hub Porteño, an eleven-room homage to the signifying power of marble and to the grand old city of Buenos Aires itself.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto leafy Rodríguez Peña, just a short walk from Avenida Alvear and Recoleta Cemetery.
The rooms
Cowhide rugs cover the hardwood floors, and each marble bathroom holds a deep jetted Jacuzzi.
The spa and gym
A dry Finnish sauna and a 24-hour gym share the fourth floor with a private massage room.
At the table
Restaurant LIMA serves Nikkei cuisine under a glass roof built around a living tree. Cocktails are poured at the bar.
How it began
The 1957 townhouse began as a private residence for actress Eglé Martin, hosting bohemian salons with tango composer Astor Piazzolla.
