The Puente La Mujer (Spanish for “Woman’s Bridge”) is a cool rotating footbridge in the Puerto Madero neighborhood. It stands out for it’s asymmetrical, modern design by the architect Calatrava.
Here is our own private courtyard. A sink and brick oven (that we never used) make cooking outside easy and convenient. All the decor details are perfect - like the hanging lamp and potted plants.
And here is our own private deck!
The bed. Tried to stay true to the city by reading Borges.
Here is the bedroom’s crazy but great wallpaper.
A view of the living room and the loft. The layered aspect to the this apartment/room is great for families with kids.
The pool! Small but lovely and surrounded by lush greens.
Highs & Lows
-
We stayed in one of the hotel’s loft rooms: open, high-ceilinged duplexes that feel very welcoming and comfortable. It was more like staying at your friend’s apartment that has really good taste.
-
The staff is super friendly but not overbearing. They remember your order preferences and bring you cookies with the turndown service.
-
A few of the rooms (including the lofts) have a separate street entrance so it really feels like you’re staying in an apartment.
-
The pool was small but lovely and surrounded by interesting and lush vegetation. The garden is a delight in itself and we’d have breakfast out there every morning.
-
Not unusual, but they’re very strict about their check out times.

Children
Saw one baby making a beeline for the pool but the majority of the guests were 30+.

Price
They have a few room options (singles to suites to lofts) so the hotel is amenable to a wider budget range. Starting at $205/night including tax.
