A beautiful boutique hotel in the Retiro central quarter of Buenos Aires. Very walkable to many other destinations and the hotel itself is absolutely lovely. It pays to ask for a junior suite otherwise the other rooms are too small and have no views

Hôtel excellent! Très bien situé. Les déjeunés sont exceptionnels, je n’ai jamais vu autant de choix avec ses jus detox et quelques options sans gluten. Nous avons très bien dormi malgré le bruit du centre-ville. Je recommande fortement
