Unico Hotels, one of Europe’s premier luxury boutique hotel groups, has expanded its portfolio to Latin America with the opening of Hotel Casa Lucia in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The hotel is situated in the historic Edificio Mihanovich, a landmark in the fashionable Recoleta neighborhood. This building, originally constructed during Argentina’s late 19th-century Golden Age, was designed to serve as a beacon for European immigrants arriving by sea. Hotel Casa Lucia blends the historic charm of Buenos Aires with modern amenities, featuring a sophisticated gastronomic program and luxurious facilities such as a wellness spa, subterranean swimming pool, and fitness center.
The hotel's interior redesign, influenced by Argentina's golden age and local culture, was handled by a collective of local and international design firms, incorporating Art Deco elements with a monochromatic palette. Public areas and guest rooms boast bespoke artwork and furniture crafted by Argentinian artists, creating a space that reflects the country’s rich heritage. The Cantina restaurant and Le Club Bacan bar offer unique culinary and social experiences, making it a desirable destination for both locals and international travelers. It is designed to immerse guests in Argentine culture, from its decor to its culinary offerings, aligning with Unico Hotels' vision of infusing each property with a distinct identity.
