Algodon Mansion: classic French luxury in Buenos Aires

The Buenos Aires boutique hotel scene has been red hot in the last few years, but nothing compares to the atmospheric, luxurious Algodon Mansion in the elegant Recoleta neighborhood of the city. It is owned by the Algodon Wine Estates and Champions Club, which is one of Argentina’s premier Malbec wine producers.

Housed in a 1912 mansion, each of the ten suites is furnished with design furniture from B&B Italian and Capelinni, and of course, modern amenities like Wi-Fi. The Algodon Royal Suite even has a baby grand piano! Other amenities include 24-hour butlers, a restaurant called Chez Nos serving French cuisine in an intimate setting, a rooftop swimming pool, a spa and a cognac bar. You can also rent the entire mansion for private parties or if you want absolute privacy. Rates start at $484.
