Legado Mitico is a delightful boutique property in the heart of Palermo, a chic district of the city known for its cafes, bars and restaurants. The hotel has the feel of a private house or club, set in Palermo Viejo with hip boutiques, restaurants and bars only a block or two away. This three storey mansion building has been thoughtfully converted into an 11 room boutique property. There isn’t a restaurant but there is no need with so many great choices on your doorstep. They do, of course, serve a delicious continental breakfast and eggs to order, served in the lounge each morning.

Savour a glass of wine with cheese on your first evening and snacks or sandwiches can be arranged if you don’t want to head out. Relax in the cosy lounge / library or the beautiful tranquil walled garden. There is also a rooftop terrace with small jacuzzi tub – you can book this out for private use for an hour or two if you wish for some R&R. Each room has a contemporary design, loosely themed on an iconic Argentine persona, filled with memorabilia and artworks. All the rooms are huge, with great modern facilities. Service is attentive and personal.
