Mine Hotel

Palermo Soho, Buenos Aires

Activities

  • Hang out in wonderful cafés and bars, check out the best of Porteño fashion right in front of you, and shop until your bank manager calls...

  • If you're hunting for souvenirs other than a Maradona cap, head to La Salamandra (any reason to go there!) and get a few jars of dulce de leche for your loved ones at home. For lasting paraphernalia, check out the stylish handbags at Humawaca and the glittery jewellery treats at 925 Galería

  • Take a couple of tango lessons at a milonga or sit back and watch a show. Tango is not a cheesy tourist attraction; it is a lifestyle, full of class and timeless elegance. Porteños take it very seriously - and look enviously cool whilst doing it

  • The Palermo parks, where Porteños go to relax, are a short walk or taxi ride away. Pretty Parque Tres de Febrero has rose gardens, lakes for boating, Japanese gardens, several cafés, a zoo and a planetarium

  • Go to Uruguay for lunch! Ask reception about the ferry to Colonia del Sacramento

  • For traditional Argentine music and food, head to La Peña del Colorado, a popular folk bar and restaurant, packed with a young, local crowd

Save to favouritesPrintMailMine HotelLeaving behind the sinfully-tempting vintage boutiques and cobblestones of über-hip Palermo Soho, I am excitedly schlepping my shopping bags through the glass door, when the yummiest of smells hits me. Cocoa Butter. Eyes now narrowly closed, I am enthralled by the delicious, rich, warm scent, which I’ll find out later lingers around the entire hotel. Calm, colourful and bright with warm eco-elements of wood, stone and hemp, this 20-[r:AR041:room] hotel includes a deli-style café, a lounge area with a PC corner, and a garden courtyard with a swimming pool and large daybeds. The tunes of U2 and other nostalgic 80s songs add to the mellow atmosphere, though a few sips of the velvety Rutini Malbec might also play their part. Up in the room, what better remedy for shopping- and tango-tortured limbs than a soak in my very own jacuzzi? This is a true feel-good hotel, where comfort reigns - but it had me at the cocoa scent...
