Housed within the storied 1929 Edificio Mihanovich—once South America's tallest skyscraper—on the Parisian-style boulevard of Calle Arroyo in Recoleta, Casa Lucia Meliá Collection is the newest architectural and hospitality marvel in Buenos Aires. Commissioned by maritime magnate Nicolás Mihanovich as a monumental beacon overlooking the Río de la Plata, this neoclassical and Art Deco landmark has been painstakingly restored into a 142-room 5-star haven blending Belle Époque grandeur with contemporary Argentine warmth.
Surrounded by grand embassies, elite art galleries, antique shops, and leafy café terraces, Casa Lucia places you at the epicenter of Buenos Aires' cultural soul. Inside, warm oak millwork, handwoven Argentine wool textiles, and captivating photographic portraits by artist Cristián Mohaded create an intimate sanctuary. Guests savor authentic regional culinary classics at Cantina Restaurant, sip sommelier-curated reserve wines at Le Club Bacan cocktail lounge, and unwind at the serene subterranean wellness spa and indoor pool.
