An apart-hotel address in Retiro, one of the most walkable corners of central Buenos Aires, where accommodation is measured in rooms you can actually live in. Private bathrooms, seating and dining areas, kitchenette facilities, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi come as standard, a few streets from Plaza San Martín, the subway and the restaurant streets of the city centre.
It works for a long weekend and it works for the kind of stay where you start buying groceries, keeping your own hours and treating the neighbourhood as home rather than as a view from a window.

One address on Suipacha holds all six categories, from compact studios to one-bedroom apartments, so the choice is about how much separation you want rather than about a better or worse standard of room.
Retiro is lived in rather than staged for visitors: offices and grand apartment blocks stand beside cafés and bookshops, and the streets keep their noise well into the evening.
The desk answers at every hour, so a flight landing at four in the morning is simply an arrival, and telling us your time in advance makes the handover quicker.
Each accommodation has a private bathroom, a seating area, a dining area and kitchenette facilities, which is the difference between sleeping in a city and living in one.
Air conditioning, heating, free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen television with cable channels are provided in every category. The result is a stay that gives you somewhere to eat breakfast at your own pace, spread out a laptop across a real table, or sit down properly at the end of a long day of walking.
None of that is possible in a conventional room with an armchair wedged into the corner, and it is the reason guests on longer visits keep coming back to apartment layouts rather than to hotel floors.
That extra room matters most on longer visits. Families can put children to bed without switching off the evening, couples can share a space without negotiating a single armchair, and independent travellers get the practical footing of an apartment with the reassurance of a front desk downstairs at any hour of the night.
We describe only what the property confirms, and we would rather under-promise than send someone across the world on a guess. Kitchenette facilities vary by accommodation, so it is worth contacting us before arrival if a specific arrangement matters to your stay or to the way you plan to cook.
Six categories share the same building and the same standard of provision, and differ mainly in how much separation you want between sleeping, sitting and eating. Three of them are outlined here, and the full collection sits on the rooms page.
The most generous layout in the collection, arranged so that sleeping, sitting and dining areas each keep their own space. It suits guests who work from the property during the day or who are settling into Buenos Aires for a longer stretch of time, and it holds up over weeks rather than nights.
An open studio where the seating area, the dining table and the kitchenette facilities share one calm room with the sleeping space. It is a practical choice for couples and independent travellers who prefer the rhythm of an apartment to the formality of a conventional hotel room.
A separate bedroom closed off from the living space, which changes how evenings work when you travel as a family or with friends. One person can read late in the living room while another sleeps, and nobody has to negotiate a single lamp.
Beyond the apartments there is a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a garden and outdoor seating. The pool operates seasonally and, when open, welcomes guests Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 19:00, so it is worth checking with the front desk for the dates you have in mind rather than assuming it will be filled.
Practical services run quietly in the background: a 24-hour front desk, concierge assistance, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating, an elevator, family rooms and non-smoking rooms. Private parking is available on site for an additional charge and is subject to availability and the property's conditions, so arrange it in advance if you intend to drive.
All amenities and stay notesThe property sits close enough to the city centre that most days begin without transport at all, which quietly changes how much of Buenos Aires you actually see in a week.
Plaza San Martín is around 500 m away, General San Martín Subway Station around 300 m and the Retiro railway station around 950 m, which puts the whole transport spine of the city inside a ten-minute walk of the front door.
The Obelisk of Buenos Aires is roughly 1.3 km away and the National Fine Arts Museum around 1.9 km. Central shopping streets, restaurants, theatres and galleries are within an easy walk, and Recoleta opens up from there without any planning at all.
Explore the locationStaying centrally in Retiro with apartment-style accommodation changes the shape of a trip. Mornings start with coffee at your own table instead of a queue, afternoons end without a long journey back across the city, and Plaza San Martín, the centre and Recoleta stay within walking distance throughout.
Tell us your dates and your arrival time and we will have everything ready when you get here, whatever hour the flight lands.
