A restored casona in the heart of San Telmo that bridges the gap between heritage building and modern boutique with more success than most attempts. The original structure dates to the early twentieth century, its bones now dressed in contemporary Argentine design — local art on the walls, leather and wood in the common areas, a rooftop pool with views across San Telmo's jumbled rooflines to the city skyline beyond. Rooms are clean-lined and comfortable, the better ones overlooking the internal courtyard. The location puts you steps from the Sunday antique market on Defensa, the tango bars along the cobblestoned streets, and the neighborhood's best restaurants.

Insider Intel
Request an upper-floor room with courtyard views for quiet and natural light. The rooftop pool and terrace are small but the views make them the hotel's strongest asset. Breakfast is included and served in the ground-floor dining room.
Spring or autumn when San Telmo is at its most pleasant for walking and the rooftop is comfortable all day. The Sunday antique market starts directly outside — being first on the street before the crowds arrive is a genuine advantage.
