Legado Mitico

Upon arrival at the hotel’s opulent, dark wooden doorway, it becomes clear that guests here are in for something special. From the well-stocked bookcase and low-key lighting to the ornate rugs that furnish the hotel’s gleaming floors, there’s a sophisticated attention to detail around every corner here. 

But it should come as no surprise that Legado Mitico would be so effortlessly cool when it's located in the heart of Buenos Aires’ most trendy neighbourhood: Palermo Soho. 

Just a minute’s walk away from this tenement-turned-hotel is the epicentre of Palermo’s vibrant and fashionable neighbourhood (or barrio). And one of the buzziest and most bohemian areas is Feria de Plaza Serrano. This colourful open-air market is overflowing with stylish stalls and craft booths selling everything from boutique jewellery to designer apparel and accessories. The good thing is that it's sandwiched between an almost endless array of atmospheric cafes where you can sit, relax and watch the city whiz by, perhaps with a fruity glass of Argentinian Malbec or an invigorating cup of cortado (coffee). 

Looking to drop things down a gear? Travellers can escape Palermo’s crowded and characterful streets by strolling around The Botanical Gardens. This luscious oasis is home to over 6,000 species of plants and trees - not to mention the vast array of striking statues and sculptures peaking through the undergrowth. It’s also well worth taking a walk to Recoleta Cemetery, too. This is widely considered one of the most unique and unforgettable burial sites in the world. Much more magical than macabre, you’ll find over 6,000 stately pillars and stone memorials for as far as the eye can see, fitting tributes for some of Argentina’s most legendary figures buried here. Perfect for any history buff, Recoleta Cemetery is where you’ll find the final resting place of Eva Perón (Evita) 

The former first lady of Argentina is just one of many Argentinian icons immortalised through the elegant interiors of Legardo Mitico. Staying even a single night here is like taking a colourful trip back in time. But one that's comfortably equipped with all the modern amenities you’d expect from a 21st-century high-end hotel. Perfect for the city explorer who appreciates a more characterful take on luxury, these refined and romantic restrooms are the definition of boutique.
