More photosExpert reviews
“A gathering-point for all things interesting and beautiful in Buenos Aires, this new, discreet Recoleta boutique hotel focuses on its insider connections to provide supreme five-star concierge service, offering more of an all-encompassing travel experience than a simple hotel stay.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Buenos Aires.
“At Hub Porteño, nestled in an especially posh pocket of Recoleta, luxury is about more than its 11 elegant, high-ceilinged rooms—though they are replete with touches like 600-thread-count sheets.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Buenos Aires.
“More like a lavish apartment owned by your richest Argentine friend, Hub Porteño is all about ultra-stylist décor, daring – and delicious – gastronomy and “curating” the perfect short break in Buenos Aires. It also has one of very few rooftop terraces in the area.”

All you need to know
Hotel Hub Porteño is an exclusive, 11-suite boutique hideaway. The building itself carries a romantic slice of local history: it was built in 1957 by the prominent Palacios family as a private residence for Argentine singer, actress, and iconic showgirl Eglé Martin.
The hotel stands out for its deep devotion to local culture, swapping standard corporate styling for an authentic, bohemian-chic Argentine aesthetic. Inside, you will find high palatial ceilings, local wool textiles, and animal hides set against rich hardwood floors, all paired with massive marble bathrooms featuring giant jacuzzi tubs.
One of its coolest hidden features is a lush, vine-covered rooftop terrace. Complete with comfortable sofas and an outdoor bar, it offers a remarkably peaceful escape from the bustling city streets below.
Positioned in the city’s cultural heart, the property serves as a perfect base for exploring. You are just a short seven-minute stroll from the historic Recoleta Cemetery—home to Eva Perón’s tomb—and only a ten-minute walk from the world-class Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.
