Legado Mítico Buenos Aires is a one-of-a-kind bolthole with a unique theme: everything about the hotel honours emblematic characters of Argentinian politics, literature, music or art. Exquisitely decorated and boasting amazing hospitality, a stay here feels like a first-hand immersion into the country’s history and culture - and that's without even stepping outside the front door! But step outside you must, for it will be straight into the heart of trendy Palermo Soho, a bohemian and uber-trendy neighbourhood of Buenos Aires where restaurants and bars, cafes and galleries spring from every corner and there's always something new to see.

Each of the 11 rooms are exquisitely appointed and themed around an Argentinian icon. Evoking the legacy of each character, the cosy rooms are filled with memorabilia: the “Tanguero” room features sheet music from tango legend Carlos Gardel and an acoustic guitar, while the “Idealist” room, named after Che Guevara, is decorated with black and white photos. All rooms offer King-sized beds, TV, a small desk space and stone-walled bathrooms with walk-in showers. Deluxe rooms are a bit more spacious: the “Idealista” comes with a private terrace, whilst the “First Lady” (after Evita) has a whirlpool tub.
The perfectly-curated décor. Whether in your room or the common areas (the library, particularly) you’ll find paintings, postcards, books or other memorabilia that will whisk you to another era.
If you’re a light sleeper, it might be worth requesting one of the rooms facing the inner courtyard, as rooms facing the street can get a bit of noise during weekends.
The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant, so expect to have all meals elsewhere. But worry not, there is no shortage of options in the vicinity.
