The exterior of the hotel, built in the early 1920s, is attractive and welcoming. The beautiful, arched doorway has decorative iron and woodwork, and the rooms above have large windows and pretty, wrought-iron balconies with window boxes. The entrance leads to the small lobby, which has parquet flooring, comfortable red velvet seating, and an elegant and unusual reception desk upholstered in silver velvet. There’s also the quirky touch of a hat rack from which guests are welcome to borrow a hat to wear for the day. The entrance to the spa is through a brick-walled hallway lined with tropical plants and a faux-wrought-iron table with two chairs, further enhancing the property's easygoing elegance. Hallways throughout the two-story building are painted white and have beautiful wood floors. The hotel is adults-only so has a quiet atmosphere and caters to couples and single travelers. Guests can be found relaxing around the small outdoor pool, which sits beside a green lawn and has a wood deck lined with red-cushioned wicker and wood furniture -- an attractive place to curl up with a book after a day out exploring the bohemian neighborhood. 

The hotel is well situated in a quiet neighborhood on a pretty, tree-lined street in the Soho district of Palermo, a hip area known for its cool cafes, unique shops, abundance of excellent restaurants, and lots of gardens, lakes, and parks. It’s around 20 minutes from the center of Buenos Aires and a great location for tourists who want to see the more bohemian side of the city. The large Carlos Thays botanic gardens and Buenos Aires Zoo are a 15-minute walk, and many main attractions are within a short distance: the Palace of the Argentine National Congress, beautiful Plaza San Martin park, and spectacular Teatro Colon -- considered one of the best concert venues in the world -- are a 15-minute drive from the hotel. For getting further afield, Scalabrini Ortiz Metro station is within a 10-minute walk. It’s around a 40-minute drive to Ezeiza International Airport.

The individually designed guest rooms are decorated in fresh, elegant colors like cream, taupe, and pale mint-green. They have parquet flooring, large windows, and homey touches such as window-side cushioned benches, vintage-style alarm clocks, knitted throw pillows, and decorative lampshades with red stripes or floral patterns. The air-conditioned rooms all have a flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, safes, and minibars. Some rooms have balconies, while Twin Rooms can overlook the pool, and Deluxe Rooms have a 1920s look with vintage-style armchairs and armoires. Each room has a desk and chair, as well. Bathrooms feature generously sized marble basins, but it’s worth noting there are no baths, just walk-in showers. 

Breakfast is served in the cheerful Cook restaurant, a sunny room with bright white decor. Breakfast is free and offers a huge selection of beautifully presented food daily, including pastries, fresh fruit, meats, and made-to-order egg dishes. Adjacent to Cook is the lounge bar where guests can help themselves to free snacks and coffee throughout the day; wine and other alcoholic drinks are served here in the evening. The garden area contains the outdoor pool -- it’s small but well-kept and is a quiet space to relax. In the basement is the small spa, which has a hot tub, sauna, and Turkish bath. Massages can also be booked on request. Also available to guests are free Wi-Fi, 24-hour room service, a library and business center, two bohemian-glam meeting rooms, and tours of the city by bike.
