Sofitel Buenos Aires
|
|
This is one of the most luxurious hotels in Buenos Aires offering stunning views over the city, port and Rio de la Plata. Located on a charming street lined with gallaries and trees. The Sofitel Buenos Aires bring you back to the golden age of Argentinean style; this authentic Art Deco monument, the city’s first skyscraper, has towered over the historic heart of Buenos Aires since 1929, the vision of this Neoclassical architectural masterpiece was to become the first sight on the horizon for sailors approaching Argentina’s great capital. With 20 stories, the building stands 80 meters high, head and shoulders above most its neighbors. Nearly three quarters of a century on, the building was converted and fully refurbished into one of Buenos Aires most luxurious and elegant hotels.
From the first look inside, though, you’ll be convinced it’s a modern reproduction, so impeccably has it been maintained — there’s not a droplet out of place on the immense chandelier that hangs above the reception, not a chip in the black-and-white marble floor.
There are 143 well-appointed guest rooms and suites and just one exclusive apartment. The rooms have been decorated in soothing neutral shades with elegant Art Deco furnishings, true to the history and culture of the building itself and its surroundings.Rooms take in commanding views of the city and the Río de la Plata, and the amenities, naturally, are comprehensive, from satellite TV and high-speed internet to smart and elegant bathrooms complete with a phone extension by the tub.
As for the restaurant, a pleasure surprise: not an Argentinean steakhouse but rather the finest Provençal restaurant in town, and a traditional cafe within a functioning library, shelves stocked with literature in Spanish and French — perfect for exercising the mind, while a fitness center, indoor pool and massage service cater to the body.
Location Retiro, Buenos Aires. Facilities Swimming pool, gym and business centre. Suggested tours: City tours, tango shows, tango classes and tours to Colonia in Uruguay. Weather All year round destination but Oct to Apr is the best time to visit.
