Literary tribute townhouse
The townhouse runs like a private residence devoted to Argentine culture, complete with a fireside library and shady courtyard.
“Each of the 11 rooms evokes a cultural figure, ranging from Jorge Luis Borges and Che Guevara to Eva Perón.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Leather Chesterfield sofas and towering library bookshelves anchor the salvaged-timber townhouse spaces.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Its stylish guest rooms and public spaces pay homage to Argentina’s history in a subtle, intelligent manner, and the result is a quirky, cool hotel.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Jacaranda trees shade the quiet block, placing independent boutiques and lively sidewalk cafes a short stroll away around Plaza Serrano.
The rooms
Rooms reflect Argentine cultural icons with biographical dossiers and vintage memorabilia. Luxury suites add deep hydromassage tubs.
The rooftop hot tub
A circular hot tub sits on the rooftop timber deck, flanked by cushioned loungers and leafy greenery.
At the table
Guests pour regional wines from the honesty bar. Mornings start with made-to-order eggs and fresh pastries.
How it began
Architect Javier Figueroa rebuilt a former tenement using salvaged materials to capture the character of historic Buenos Aires.
