Our favourite rooms
Pick your Argentine hero and stay in a room named in their honour – the choice includes Evita and Che. And if these two happen to be your favourites, you’re in luck: they both come with open fireplaces. La Primera Dama is luxuriously dripping in cream, olive and gold. Che’s suite, El Idealista, is filled with greys and greens, and has an interesting shower – it’s Scottish, and the water jets switch between hot and cold.
Packing tips
Leave the historical texts at home and research your room’s legend from the comfort of the library instead; nod to gaucho style with neckerchiefs to be chicly tied on arrival.
