MGallery, Accor Collection of memorable hotels, proudly announces the opening of The Brick Hotel Buenos Aires in Argentina – an event that illustrates the beginning of the brand story in the Americas. The Brick Hotel Buenos Aires embodies the special allure of the MGallery Collection and offers an authentic, alluring luxury experience. The address features 175 elegant and spacious rooms, including 17 suites, each reflecting the hotel’s special spirit and welcoming décor.A signature atmosphere: European and Argentinian elegance

Each MGallery hotel is inspired by one of three atmospheres: heritage, signature or serenity. The Brick Hotel Buenos Aires stands in the “signature” category for its incomparable style, the perfect combination of European and Argentinian elegance.

Nestled in the city’s prestigious and historic Recoleta district, The Brick Hotel Buenos Aires is named for its grand brick façade, which is distinguished from the neighbourhoods neoclassical architecture. Its utilitarian architecture style recalls Buenos Aires’ brick warehouses, factories, train stations and ports, while simultaneously reflecting a contemporary style with feeling of freshness and warmth. With its genuine identity and contemporary lines, the hotel highlights the best of European heritage, inspired by its Argentinian roots.

The Brick Hotel Buenos Aires recently completed its first set of renovations, and the hotel is imbued with a modern atmosphere, a striking personality, and a strong imprint of local art that adds a touch of magic to the spaces. Design inspiration from the local culture adds to the space’s unique personality, as do the décor’s combination of neutral and modern tones with marble floors, columns and lowered ceilings. Upholstered furnishings provide a refreshing pop of colour, influenced by the norteña culture and a selection of European genres. The hotel offers guests a true insight into Argentina through different elements that reflect its origin: earthy colours, beige and grey accented with touches of terracotta; noble materials: metal, oak, mahogany, glass and leather; local fabrics of woven cotton and silk.

Welcoming spaces for memorable moments
The Brick Hotel Buenos Aires’ 175 rooms reflect the personality of the hotel, and every detail is chosen to enhance the overall guest experience. Comfortable and welcoming, certain rooms offer magnificent views of the city, while others look out to the magical indoor gardens – a luxury in the heart of the bustling city.
