It’s at the same time an homage to the glory days of Buenos Aires, a Thirties mansion ... connected to a modern tower.
“Many of the hotel’s 165 rooms and suites still feature ornate touches like silk curtains, crystal chandeliers and intricate rugs.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Stately Avenida Alvear places you among Belle Epoque embassies and designer boutiques, just blocks from the historic Recoleta Cemetery.
The rooms
Palace suites feature crystal chandeliers and antique rugs, while contemporary Posadas rooms showcase buffed wood floors, buttery leather seating, and marble soaking tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 25-meter heated saline lap pool sits underground beneath a luminous ceiling grid and stone columns.
The spa
Five private suites host hydrotherapy baths and restorative body rituals made with Patagonian mineral mud.
The gym
The fitness studio stays open 24 hours with cardio machines and free weights along wood-paneled walls.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Los Salones del Piano Nobile
Original boiserie paneling lines these palace salons, where traditional afternoon tea arrives alongside delicate house macarons.
Understated, palatial elegance in downtown Buenos Aires, which dominates the city’s hotel scene—a reborn, impressively crafted hit of nostalgia.
The Oak Bar
Leather club armchairs sit beside a stone fireplace and seventeenth-century wood paneling for evening martinis and whiskies.
At the table
Garden terraces host plant-based dining, and the restaurant pairs grilled Argentine cuts with bottles from its 7,000-label cellar.
How it began
Commissioned in 1934 for the Duhau family, French architect Leon Dourge modeled the neoclassical residence on Le Chateau du Marais near Paris.
“The property today is a testament to the grandeur of the most European city in the Americas.”
