The opening signals the lifestyle brand’s debut in South America, bolstering a portfolio that already includes addresses in Beverly Hills, Miami, the Bahamas, Cancun and Dubai.
The hotel will consist of 58 suites and 134 residences and is located in the Puerto Madero neighbourhood of the Argentinian capital. The design of its interiors is the work of Italian interior designer Piero Lissoni, and curated artwork from the Jorge M. Perez Contemporary Art Collection will adorn its walls.
An Argentinian grill named Leynia will offer guests South American cuisine with a Japanese twist. It will feature a wood burning grill as well as a sushi bar. The hotel’s Ciel Spa will boast an outdoor swimming pool, state of the art gym, individual and couples massage rooms, steam rooms and relaxation areas. It will be open to residents, hotel guests and the public.
Argentina, and especially Buenos Aires, hold a very special place for our team and family. As our first project in the region, we went to great lengths to make sure the property led the market in terms of design, amenities and art. We are confident the final product is one of which the entire Puerto Madero community can be proud.
Jon Paul Perez, President of Related Group and lead developer at SLS Puerto Madero
We are so proud to continue to expand our SLS brand globally, and to open our eighth SLS and our first in South America. […] It's befitting that our first SLS property in this part of the world is in the vibrant neighbourhood of Puerto Madero in the heart of Buenos Aires, and introducing our Argentinian grill, Leynia.
