WHERE OUR DIRECTOR OF MARKETING SHOPS FOR UNIQUE GIFTS

- Gabriel Oliveri, Director of Marketing

“A great place to find handmade Argentine crafts is FACON. Traditional mattes, modern ponchos, contemporary items from the north, and photographs from the south – FACON enhances and exhibits the beauty of our culture in a very harmonious and non-pretentious way. Its owner, Martín Bustamante, is a passionate host. While you shop for Argentine gems, he’s likely to share a story about his travels or the landscapes he's visited in order to procure every piece you see in his store. It’s a house full of anecdotes.”

OUR CHEF CONCIERGE’S FAVOURITE TANGO SPOT

- María José Iturralde, Chef Concierge

“If you want to experience traditional dance, go to Rojo Tango. Owner and renowned Argentine dancer Carlos Copello offers his outstanding expertise to beginner and advanced dancers – he makes tango look easy! I highly recommend a private lesson with him in the afternoon, then enjoy a milonga night (when the locals come out to dance the tango) in the evening.”

AN ARTISTIC OUTLET FROM OUR PUBLIC RELATIONS COORDINATOR

- Camila Ripoll, Public Relations Coordinator

“One of the most recognized museums in the city, The Malba Museum hosts Latin American art from the 20th century. I love attending the pre-opening itinerant exhibitions that take place every three months, and afterward, stopping to browse the museum’s bookstore and enjoying a delicious coffee at their beautiful café.”

WHERE OUR SPA DIRECTOR GOES TO UNWIND

- Rodrigo Romero, Spa Director

“Palermo Lakes Park is my favourite park in Buenos Aires – it’s one of the most delightful places to spend any time of the day. I love to go on Sunday mornings during the summer for a run around the lake. Breathing the pure air and soaking in the sun really boosts your mood!”
