Concierge ""It's not just a hotel," the people who run this monstrous property in chic Puerto Madero Este... will tell you, "it's a universe." They may have a point."
Insight Guides "This landmark property, with its long, red-carpeted corridors, Miami Vice-style pool bar and molecular-cuisine restaurant... is a feast for the senses."
DK Eyewitness "Rooms are simply yet tastefully furnished Art Deco-style, with mirror-paneled cupboards and velvety carpets."
Rough Guide "Buenos Aires’ hotel for the in-crowd, this former grain-storage building has been given a serious Philippe Starck makeover and now has a belle époque jazz bar."

BlackBook "High concept Phillipe Starck-designed rager in historic grain silo sits super pretty on the waterfront."
