Located in the elegant recoleta "art district", one of the most fashionable and residential areas in the city, sofitel buenos aires is surrounded by art galleries and antique shops, a true epicenter of sophistication and culture. housed in a neoclassic building from the late '20 the hotel is a perfect blend of french art de vivre and argentine tradition. french designer pierre yves rochon mastered the art deco character of the building by creating ambiances of pleasure and sensoriality in the lobby and rooms. restaurant le sud is an open door to a world of true gourmet flavours, with an original combination of traditional french cuisine and the best local seasonal products. cafe arroyo and la biblioteque are decorated in a retro style reminiscent of the old 1920's buenos aires cafes.
