“Originally built as a stunning mansion in 1906, Anselmo Buenos Aires

With its first owner rumored to have been the famous tango musician and
composer, Anselmo Aieta, the property maintains its original 1900s
façade complemented by a modern design that includes spacious rooms and
upscale restaurant and bar concepts. Throughout the hotel, guests will
also enjoy contemporary décor and art – all infused with the area’s
history and local flair. An interior plaza reflects local Argentine
culture by giving guests an intimate setting in which to interact and
unwind after a day of exploring Buenos Aires. Additional highlights
include inviting communal gathering areas throughout the hotel and a
fitness center offering state-of-the-art equipment, which will be
available 24 hours a day.
Guests can relax in one of 50 guest rooms, including four corner rooms,
one with a balcony, a large suite featuring a spacious private balcony
and two colonial rooms offering a view of Dorrego Square, one of them
with a french balcony facing the square. The design of each guest room
thoughtfully reflects the historical ambience of San Telmo combined with
sophisticated and modern elegance. Guest room highlights include
floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in showers, sleek wooden floors, a
mini-bar and views of the hotel’s inner plaza. Guests will also enjoy a
plush bed with luxurious linens, a comfortable sofa, a 42-inch HDTV,
complimentary Wi-Fi access and beautiful lighting that is unique within
