Through carefully selected activities, the hotel narrates a unique experience, creating an itinerary that connects guests to Argentina’s golden age, the Belle Époque porteña.

The hotel, which reopened its doors last year following a complete refurbishment, is now part of the Meliá Hotels International portfolio. It will officially join The Meliá Collection as Casa Lucia in approximately one month, once it has been fully adapted to the brand’s standards and attributes.
With this new opening, Meliá Hotels International is accelerating its growth in Latin America, particularly in Argentina, where the company already operates 5 hotels, with 2 more in pipeline.
