Description
Stylish, comfortable and situated on one of the prettiest streets of Palermo Viejo, Legado Mitico is a harmonious blend of retro and contemporary design features. Great attention has been paid to the artwork, furniture and design touches, with hardwood floors, cow hides, Indian textiles and chic cushions adorning the spaces.
Each of the 11 guest rooms has been uniquely themed around famous cultural and historical Argentinean icons: Che Guevara, Evita Peron and Carlos Gardel to name but a few. Rooms have spacious bathrooms, king-size beds and a full range of contemporary facilities. The service is slick, and there is a friendly, convivial atmosphere, as if you are staying at a cultured friend's home. There are plenty of comfortable relaxing areas, an excellent library on the lower floor where breakfast is served and also a small sundeck and rooftop jacuzzi.
Legado Mitico makes a superb and effortless base while in Buenos Aires and doesn't try too hard to be cool, a common failing among many of the new boutique hotels that have mushroomed in the last few years.
