Jardín Escondido

Incredibly friendly, helpful staff and an improbably lush inner garden with a plunge pool help elevate this hidden gem into an experience typically available only to the super-rich. A comfortable living room with adjacent breakfast tables provide just the right touch to start the day calm and satisfied. (Breakfast is cooked to order, with the most delicious variety of coffees!) Wonderful dining, shopping, and tourist attractions are within east (and safe) walking distance. Forgot your Spanish? No problem — the staff speak better English than you do! Most travelers to Buenos Aires arrive too early for check-in and depart too late for check-out. Again, no problem — you can relax in the book-filled living room and even get coffee or soft drinks.

We have stayed in many boutique hotels around the world but this is one of my all time favorites. Originally the home of Francis Ford Coppola, the place has maintained its character. You actually feel like you're in someone's home. Our room was huge, clean comfortable and full of character. The service and breakfast were superb. We loved our stay and if we ever make it back to Buenos Aires we will certainly stay here again!

Beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces to sit, read and relax. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was delicious. Very well located to enjoy all the shops, restaurants and cafes in Polermo Soho. We stayed for one night in Sofia's room - it is a small charming room. If we were staying for longer I would have preferred a larger room.
