Fodor's Expert Review Mio Buenos Aires

Av. Pres. Manuel Quintana 465, Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, 1129, Argentina

The winemaking Catena family owns this luxurious boutique hotel, and all the rooms come stocked with wines straight from their own Mendoza vineyards. You'll find stylish rustic elements everywhere, starting with the towering entrance fashioned from wood from French oak barrels. Also made by hand are the wooden bathtubs, all of which are slightly different. All rooms have balconies overlooking the street or the courtyard where large, metal butterflies by an Argentine artist are lit up at night. Some suites include in-room saunas, while others have private rooftop whirlpool tubs. Amenities include massage cabins, a pool, and a small exercise area.

  • located on a picturesque Recoleta street
  • mixes rustic and contemporary design elements
  • open and airy feel

CONS

  • the ground-floor common areas feel elegant but somewhat somber
  • the pool is good for swimming lengths but shallow
  • dining in the basement is a bit glum
