More than a lobby, the lively entrance sports a large-scale bespoke mural from local mixed media artist Cristina Codern, and is designed to capture the energy of Argentina. Bringing together the latest creative talent from local design and architectural houses, the year-long refurbishment was led by Buenos Aires-based firm Torrado Arquitectos, alongside the interior design team from Fernanda Schuch Studios.The hotel’s 142 rooms and suites have sleek furnishings that contrast and complement its historic roots, as well as contemporary art from Argentine artist Cristián Mohaded whose work is featured in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and at the Musée Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Taking full advantage of their views, many rooms and suites have balconies with outdoor showers, sun loungers and outdoor dining.
