From Gotham With Love. That’s how we summed up our initial impression of the Algodon Mansion in last summer’s issue of InvestBA Privada. Now it seems the hotel that redefined the luxury category in Buenos Aires has joined one of the most exclusive clubs of hoteliers, chefs and restaurateurs. Algodon Mansion is the first and only Buenos Aires hotel to become a member of the Relais & Chateaux Collection.
According to Relais & Chateaux, ”The hotel’s 1912 French classical landmark building has been impeccably restored and re-imagined with stylish contemporary elegance. Attended by 24-hour butlers, each of the 10 suites overlooks the shady residential street as well as an exquisite interior light-well and waterfall cascading into the lobby. Rooms are exceptionally spacious and offer superior amenities and comfort. The restaurant, Chez Nous, reinterprets traditional regional dishes, taking Argentine gastronomy to a new level.”
According to Travel Pulse, “Chez Nous becomes only the second Buenos Aires restaurant to join the Relais & Chateaux Collection.” The Algodon Wines featured at Chez Nous also received their share of accolades this month when Robert Parker’s Argentina Wine Ratings were released. The 2008 Algodon Malbec received a “91″ and the 2008 Algodon Bonarda received a “90.”
