We are a typical Argentine family who has traveled and lived abroad. We have also experienced the importance of a warm friendly welcome while being away from home. We liked a lot interacting with locals and the idea of staying in a cheap bed and breakfast was always attractive.
The House has had since its beginnings in the 1900th, a magic and elegant charm.
Its neo-tudor style was widely used in late Victorian style. You can find this style in Buenos Aires mostly because of the British influence. In Argentina the British were in charge of the cereal trading and the railway system. Some characteristics are its brick walls, which hold two enormous bow windows. They let the light come into the house through very old crystals.
In the center of the facade there is a mysterious shield, which symbolizes the essence of the House. Strange but at the same time very original, it welcomes every new guest. In the upper left side “ boleadoras” (an aboriginal and later gaucho weapon used for native ostrich hunting) points out the connection of the building family with the countryside and the wealth it generated. The lis flower (symbol of the European royalty) wanted to make clear for everybody that the family who lived in this house was economically well-off and clearly held a very high social status.
You will find a warm place to stay in Buenos Aires. A budget hotel will not give you all the warmness you will find in our bed and breakfast, with a perfect location in Recoleta.
Nowadays, Recoleta Guest House surprises with its refined details and its elegance, typical from local and European aristocracy of those days. The floors are covered by Slavonian oak wood and the stairs with the finest European marble. This atmosphere leads our guests to travel back in time to those glamorous days of the Belle Époque.
The crystal chandeliers, the furniture made of the finest woods and the excellent Argentinian paintings create an ambiance, which is perfect for relaxing and having endless conversations.
