Fodor's Expert Review Mansión Dandi Royal

Piedras 922, Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, 1070, Argentina

For a glimpse of early-20th-century high society, look no further than this mansion-turned-hotel, where exquisite rooms are decorated with classic wood furnishings and period murals. Tango legend Héctor Villalba painstakingly transformed this century-old mansion into both a hotel and a tango academy. A stunning chandelier, sweeping staircase, and original artwork lend more authenticity. Dance lessons take place daily in the gorgeous dance hall, and once a week a milonga (an all-night tango party) takes place on-site.

PROS

  • a tango junkie's heaven
  • stunning interiors
  • slice of local history

CONS
