Hilton Worldwide has announced the first Latin American hotel for its new Curio brand with the opening of Aselmo Buenos Aires.
The hotel, located in the old neighborhood of San Telmo, itself has a storied history.
It dates to 1906 and was reputedly the home of renowned tango musician and composer, Anselmo Aieta.
It features an original 1900s facade with 50 guestrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in showers and modern amenities such as a 42-inch HDTV, complimentary Wi-Fi.
There are two restaurants, meeting space, and a 24-hour fitness center.
"Originally built as a stunning mansion in 1906, Anselmo Buenos Aires pays tribute to a community rich in history that dates back to the 18th century, and provides guests with the perfect launching pad for a truly intriguing cultural experience," said Dianna Vaughan, global head, Curio – A Collection by Hilton.
"We’re honored to welcome this beautiful property to our collection, and as our first hotel in Latin America."
Curio – A Collection by Hilton is a handpicked portfolio of four and five-star independent urban and resort hotels that cater to passionate travelers seeking authentic experiences, the company says.
Hilton also opened Reichshof Hamburg last week, its first Curio Collection hotel in Europe.
