Our reservation got canceled by the modern hotel we booked in San Telmo (nightmare - avoid Prestigia.com) and they booked us in to this hotel instead. Although the location is actually quite far from the hotel we booked and San Telmo neighborhood, it was lovely in it's own way.
The building is unmarked and does not look like a hotel...

-
1890 Casa Boutique and Art Gallery, is located in a centennial house between San Telmo and Montserrat. Spacious and welcoming, this 1870 residence evokes alternately high society lineage and numerous immigrant families in that feverish and changeable Buenos Aires of the 19th century ending. The gallery’s ceiling fans spread their shy breeze over some unprepared guest, grateful to feel the drowsy magic of a timeless afternoon. The draughtboard frames with its iron columns the leafy garden. Ancient trees alternate with creepers, flowers and a small fountain to create an old time atmosphere that lives in the whole house, intertwined with this green environment. Jasmines, white camellias, lilies, honeysuckles and chamomiles flood the interiors with their particular views and remarkably nice fragrances. The decoration contemporary style didn’t dispense with the materials of the original building. Upholding its privileged historical location, 1890 preserve the traditional architecture of an antique and distinguished Buenos Aires house: patios and galleries, thick plaster walls, brick vaulted ceilings and solid doors and windows, all with a quality and nobility only usual from past times. The Art gallery is not limited to a single place to concentrate there all its material. On the contrary, it is structural and conceptually integrated to the entire house. Therefore, the space-work link is a "decentralized" experience so guests are able to enjoy it not only in the common areas as but also in their rooms. The comfortable Suites, each one of them with their own identity, share remarkable details like original pieces of art, design objects, huge King Sized beds and charming Egyptian cotton lines. 1890 Casa Boutique & Art Gallery, offers the guest not only a quiet stay, full of historical reminiscences, but also a renewed concept of art and design, an strategic location and an atmosphere of comfort, warmth and hospitality.
