El Edificio de los Pavos Reales

Buenos Aires, Argentina.

An historic landmark art Nouveau Building. The Edificio de los Pavos Reales offers guests the chance to stay in one of those amazing buildings one often sees when visiting another city, but can normally only wonder at what it must be like inside.

Bed and Breakfast Description

The Edificio de los Pavos Reales ("Building of the Peacocks") was built in 1912 by the famed Italian architect Virginio Colombo. It employs the Art Nouveau style with a distinctive Venetian flair. The name of the building is derived from the four balconies of the facade. They have beautiful carvings of peacocks, which over time have become the most identifiable features of the building.

The balcony is accessed solely from the two-room suite offered to our guests, which accommodates up to two couples. One of the rooms contains a loft that can be used as a dressing and/or office area. It is furnished with a beautiful Queen Anne vanity which functions as a desk, as well. Below the loft, there is a cozy living area that converts easily into a second bedroom by exchanging the couch for a full size bed.

The living and dining rooms are at the complete disposal of our guests. Exquisitely furnished with antiques of the period, it's not only comfortable and pleasing to the eye, it presents the apartment in an historically accurate design.

There is a full, private bathroom dedicated to the suite with a lovely shower, the window of which peeks out to a beautiful patio, also at our guests' complete disposal.

We only rent to parties of one to four people at a time, so as our guest(s), you will receive our complete attention. Also, we can personally adapt our continental breakfast menu to whatever dietary requirements you desire.
