"Foodies will love the smart Elena restaurant, which offers a bird’s-eye view of the open-plan kitchen and the adjacent mansion; the poolside Nuestro Secreto grill is a more relaxed option"

"The lobby bar is well-stocked with champagne, the outdoor pool is Roma-themed, the spa is decorated with Inca motifs, and the in-house restaurant, Galani, serves some of the best Italian food in town"

"Blending the contemporary and the traditional, the 165-room luxury hotel occupies both a modern tower and a 20th-century Belle Époque mansion connected to the main building through the outdoor pool and terrace"

"There's also a gorgeous spa, an outdoor heated swimming pool and a top-notch restaurant"

"There’s still the Roman-style outdoor heated pool overlooking La Mansión, but to complement it, more of the outdoors has been worked into the hotel: lavishly landscaped gardens, a rooftop garden, and a glass-enclosed asado-style restaurant that can be opened up to fresh air"

"Marble baths feature deep whirlpool tubs with bath salts, glass-enclosed showers, second phones, hair dryers, L'Occitane toiletries, plump terry-cloth bath towels, slippers and robes"

"The Buenos Aires landmark comprises a modern, 12-story tower and a handsome Belle Époque mansion, connected by immaculately landscaped gardens and two swimming pools"

"The property houses a lovely, Roman-style swimming pool and scenic gardens, as well as a contemporary fitness center and business facilities, both of which stay open around the clock"
