Location

Home Hotel is located in Palermo Hollywood, a neighborhood north of the city centre. Formerly known as Palermo Viejo, this traditional barrio has been subdivided and informally renamed Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood. Home Hotel is located in the later, the area´snew moniker refers to the many TV channels and radio stations, film production studios and the high count of celebrities frequenting its many bars & restaurants. This vibrant area is best known as the city´s gastronomic hub, with some of Buenos Aires best and most fashionable restaurants. Five of the Best 50 Latin American Restaurants just steps from Home Hotel, including Tegui, Paraje Arévalo, Unik and La Cabrera, as well as Peruvian super chef Gaston Acurio´s latest venture La Mar. However, Palermo Hollywood still retains its “barrio” feel mixing the old and the new, the traditional with the cutting edge. Home Hotel is within easy reach of the city centre and all Buenos Aires tourist attractions but away from the fumes and noise.

Lobby

At Home we feel a Lobby is an important part of a hotel experience, the new fad in other Buenos Aires hotels with no lobby is not part of who we are. A lobby is a place where one can relax, read a magazine, listen to some specially selected music (by owner and record producer Tom Rixton) or browse some of our coffee table books. Just like one would in his/her own living room at Home.

Restaurant and Bar

The social heart of Home Hotel, the restaurant & cocktail bar opens from 8am to midnight. Here guest can mingle with the fashionable locals and enjoy a a glass of malbec or a range of signature cocktails. Food is lovingly prepared by Head Chef Verónica Yarte using fresh, local and seasonal produce. Bar snacks are served throughout the day. On weekends Home Hotel Brunch is popular with porteños and guests alike. Home Hotel Bar was selected in 2014 by the International Bartenders Association as one of the 10 Best Hotel Bars.

Garden and Pool Area

A lush green garden filled with jazmin, ferns and native plants and trees is an oasis that provides respite in a busy metropolis. A unique space for relaxation, and enjoyment of a tranquil breakfast or a night cap. The pool (9m x 3.5m) opens from October to March, provides sun and a refreshing splash after a days working or sightseeing.

Spa

Home Spa is small but perfectly formed – a place where relaxation reaches new heights. Whether to recover from a flight, to recharge after a day´s work or to pamper oneself after a long day sightseeing, Home Spa offers guests a range of massage, body & facial therapies to suit your needs, moods and wants. Our products are organic and derived from Southatlantic seawead (the cleanest and purest in the world).

Green Hotel

Home Hotel is proud to have pioneered ‘eco-design’ and many other environmentally-friendly business practices to the Buenos Aires hotel scene. We partner with community organisations to ensure we recycle as much as we can, for everyone’s benefit. We work with returnable and reusable packaging.

Some of Homes initiatives are: Custom-made reusable pump dispensers for toiletries to reduce unnecessary disposal of plastics.

Individually-controlled gas central heating and air conditioning, and low wattage bulbs / LED in oudoor areas, LED lighting in common areas to increase energy efficiency.

Electricity cards which turn off the power when the room is empty, and motion sensors in the common areas, so that the lights will never be on when nobody’s home.

Our own specially-developed natural toiletry products

Separating Home’s rubbish at source and working with NGOs for collection of plastic, cardboard, glass, batteries and oils.

Collecting plastic bottle tops to the Hospital Garrahan, which uses them in fundraising projects.

Donating linnens to San Jose Geriatric Home and other institutions that care for children and young adults.

As an employer, we feel socially responsible for those workers whose businesses touch ours. We inspect the factories and offices of our suppliers, services providers, to ensure that working environments are clean and above board, and that the workers are treated well. All Home staff receive training about running an environmentally-conscious business. And we love to support our local food shops when we put together our natural restaurant menu!
