Tango de Mayo Hotel, Buenos Aires

Av. de Mayo 1396, C1076 CABA, Argentina (show on map)

Expert reviews

The Guardian review:

“A huge makeover converted this art nouveau former sewing machine factory in Monserrat into a 59-room hotel – Palacio Barolo is two doors down. Head to the terrace for a cityscape of domes and spires.”

All you need to know

Located on the historic Avenida de Mayo, the Tango de Mayo Hotel is a beautiful tribute to Argentina’s most famous dance. The building itself dates back to 1913, when it was designed by Italian architect Fausto di Bacco. Funnily enough, it wasn’t built for dancing—it originally served as the grand, Parisian-style headquarters for the Singer sewing machine company.

Following a major restoration, the property reopened as a boutique hotel while preserving its striking Art Nouveau architecture. Inside, you can still spot gorgeous period details like the original black ironwork on the facade, carved wooden doors with beveled glass, and the iconic checkerboard flooring in the lobby.

The hotel’s theme pays direct homage to tango culture, featuring themed artwork and handmade fittings throughout the rooms. Up on the top floor, a panoramic rooftop terrace and solarium offers guests a fantastic spot to grab a drink while looking out over the Buenos Aires skyline.

Positioned right in the old town, the hotel is just a three-minute stroll from the architecturally stunning Barolo Palace. Major city landmarks like the massive Obelisco, the historic Plaza de Mayo, and the world-renowned Teatro Colón opera house are all within easy walking distance.

Charming property

Charming property, well located. The lobby and restaurant are spacious and nicely furnished. The room features a spacious shower.

We had requested a King or queen bed on an upper floor but were assigned a room with twin beds on the 2nd floor. As you would expect, there was a lot of noise from the street on Saturday night.

Great value for money and superb service

My room was spacious and the bed enormous. I had floor to ceiling windows along the length of the room, so there was plenty of light. It was well appointed. The included breakfast with fresh fruit and coffee (all that I ate despite enticing added offerings) was excellent and staff, especially maids, waiters, porters were very friendly and helpful.

I needed to be in this location, so it suited me very well, but for others, this area is a bit off the beaten tourist track, and is more suited for people with need of easy access to downtown and its offices.

The ambience and tango decor throughout was fun, very front check in staff were very welcoming and helpful, and location was perfect for our second visit to Buenos Aires! They booked a Tango show for us that included pickup and just added to our perfect stay.

Extremely satisfied with location, comfort, value and ambiance.

Amazing property! Staff mostly spoke English and were patient with non-Spanish speaking guests. Location felt safe to walk, several restaurants and a huge supermarket close by. There was a gate guard always present to help with newcomers, luggage, dinner guests and folks just coming and going. Food was way above average and presented artfully. A lovely selection of locally made silver items and handicrafts. We loved this place!

Very comfortable room, staff are fantastic, but food options lacking

The room was very comfortable, we enjoyed our stay after spending 2 weeks in Patagonia. The bathroom was also very spacious and the shower was fantastic. Great linens & towels; all the details were better than expected. We also appreciated the flexibility to arrange a late checkout. For $60 we were able to stay until 5pm which was very helpful since we didn't fly out until midnight. The staff were very kind to hold our bags while we went to dinner and waited for our ride to the airport.

I was not happy with the breakfast. Other reviewers had spoken highly of it, which is why I booked, but I found it to be disappointing. The coffee was terrible, eggs were watery and cold, baked goods stale. The only edible item was some fresh fruit; we had to go out and find coffee & breakfast elsewhere which was disappointing. The neighborhood/location is fine if you want to see the historical buildings, but we found it seriously lacking when it came to good restaurants. We had one day to explore the city and wished we had booked something in the Palermo neighborhood instead which would have offered much more variety and higher quality options for food. Overall, it was a pleasant place to land after 2 weeks in the mountains, and we were comfortable. But, the food at the hotel and in the surrounding neighborhood was a disappointment.

Beautiful art deco hotel in a great location.

Location turned out to be great. U can walk to many of the sights and attractions. For others short uber ride. Really nice restored art deco hotel. Staff was always very helpful. Breakfast was very good.

Rooftop bar was not open. But you could go there with your own drinks and enjoy the view.

Great choice for a short stay in Buenas Aires

Great location for accessing the main city centre sites of interest. The room was huge and nicely appointed with a huge very comfortable bed and large en-suite bathroom. The roof bar is nice although you take your own drinks with you.

A warmer welcome after an 18 hour flight would have been nice but I guess it’s a very busy city centre hotel

Wonderful stay in great location with fabulous staff

Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of foods. Staff was outstanding. Location is very convenient. The hotel provided drink and snacks for a midnight celebration on the roof for New Year’s Eve.

It would have been good if there had been dinner available at the hotel on New Year’s Eve since there was almost nothing open for a light dinner without a big party,

Fantastic hotel at a great price

The staff were excellent and very helpful. The hotel has a great nostalgic feel to it, unlike many soulless big named hotels the Tango de Mayo felt like home.

Some of the fittings were a little bit worn around the edges, nothing that a little bit of maintenance couldn't handle. Just took the edge off the period decor a little bit.

A good place to stay in Buenos Aires

Good location. Nice and very clean rooms. Comfortable bed and pillows. Every afternoon, free tea/coffee and cake in the lobby. Everyday bottled water in the room. I would gladly stay in this hotel again.

Air conditioning (fourth floor) not working properly, BUT on being informed the reception changed my room without any problems. The windows in the rooms do not open, so you have to rely on AC. The breakfast selection is just satisfactory.
