Between the turn of the twentieth century and World War II several waves of
European immigrants arrived in Buenos Aires in search of a better future. Many
of them found lodging in the big old houses of the San Telmo, La Boca, and
Montserrat neighborhoods. Singles, couples, and even complete families lived
in poor rooms giving on to a common inner patio. These collective
lodgings, the conventillos, became a milestone in the history of the city.
The energy derived from the tenant's swarming dreams, gossip, and fights gave
birth to tango.
Conventillo de Lujo brings back to life one of those wonderful patios. Together
with the hospitality of a "porteña" family, one integrated by Amy & Ray, the
Conventillo is open to visitors who arrive, once again, in the dawn of the
twenty-first century, excited and eager to experience the traditions of Buenos
Aires, its tango and its folklore, and expecting to mingle with
the immense cultural wealth of a passionate people, with the nightlife of the
city and the unending offer of activities, ranging from sports to the best
cuisine, from education to tourism.
Conventillo de Lujo can accommodate groups of up to 20 people, to guarantee
maximum comfort, security and relaxation. Smoking is allowed only in the
terraced balconies and the rooftop patio. This brand new four-story corner
building offers every necessary service to ensure your stay will be a warm and
unforgettable experience. Conventillo de Lujo is located on Benjamín Matienzo
in the traditional neighborhood of Belgrano, classic area of old villas, some
of which are still beautifully kept, turned into embassies and luxurious
private residences. Only two blocks away from the busy Cabildo Avenue, we
have the best access to public transportation (subway, taxis, urban buses
?"colectivos").
Three floors of bright, colorful apartments with terraced balconies. Each
complete apartment features a comfortable living room, integrated kitchen,
modern bathroom, and one or two bedrooms.
