The house
SLSMonochrome dockside tower
The glass tower brings sharp graphic minimalism to Dique 1, running more like a private residence than a hotel.
“Rooms feature hardwood floors, a black and white color palette, low-slung beds, rainfall shower heads in the peekaboo bathrooms.”
What it’s good at
Notable

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
it’s bold in style thanks to its sleek glass façade, black and white interiors and contemporary art works, such as an LED light installation by local artist Eugenio Cuttica.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The docks lead toward the Puente de la Mujer footbridge, and walking trails in the nearby ecological reserve run to the river.
The rooms
Suites have glass-walled bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling doors open onto private balconies set with butterfly chairs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The south-facing circular pool is bordered by a shaded sundeck set with loungers beneath the glass tower.
The spa and gym
Ciel Spa has two saunas and treatment suites with custom massage beds. Floor-to-ceiling windows light the gym.
At the table
Leynia cooks over a wood-burning parrilla and serves sushi from its bar, with tables arranged along floor-to-ceiling windows.
