At a Glance
When Francis Ford Coppola departed Buenos Aires after wrapping his movie Tetro, he left behind an intimate retreat that he had created in midst of the vibrant Palermo Soho neighborhood.

Review
Says Coppola: “I was interested in the boutique urban hotel as a variation on the resort theme, to use the city itself as a theme.” He imbued his new garden oasis with elements of the vivacious art and culture scene of Buenos Aires, turning it into a small boutique hotel that joins the ranks of his other two special properties in Belize (Blancaneaux Lodge and Turtle Inn). The property has three levels of gardens, a solar-heated pool, an outdoor kitchen and parrilla grill, as well as a planted terrace. The property has four master bedrooms, two double bedrooms and one single bedroom. A full-time housekeeper and an English-speaking concierge are available for guests. Tip: the home feels more like a private residence than a full-service hotel, and it’s a better choice for a buyout than for booking single rooms.
Who Should Stay
Coppola buffs - each room is named after a family member, and there’s a library of the director’s favorite classic films - and families or friends who want a private home base in Buenos Aires.
