We arrived in Buenos Aires and immediately felt the energy of the city, especially in Palermo, a neighborhood known for its leafy streets, boutique shops, vibrant cafés, and relaxed elegance. For our first few nights, we stayed at Be Jardin Escondido by Coppola, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect welcome to Argentina.
Tucked away behind unassuming walls, the hotel truly lives up to its name – a “hidden garden.” With only seven rooms, it offers an intimate and serene atmosphere that feels more like a private residence than a hotel. The lush garden courtyard, cozy common areas, and rooftop terrace create a sense of calm that’s rare in a big city. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated – from the luxurious linens to the vintage film posters and Coppola memorabilia.
The hotel is set in the former home of director Francis Ford Coppola, who stayed here while filming Tetro. Guests can peek into the room where he wrote, explore the spaces he loved, and even sit on the terrace where he found creative inspiration on warm afternoons. It’s a special experience, especially for film lovers or anyone seeking a connection to the creative pulse of the city.
Our cozy and stylish guestrooms were perfect for a family stay – located side by side, with private balconies overlooking the garden, offering a quiet spot for morning coffee or an evening wind-down. Mornings began with a delicious à la carte breakfast featuring fresh local ingredients and some of the best artisanal coffee we’ve had on our trip.
Palermo itself is the ideal base, walkable, full of character, and packed with great restaurants and parks for kids to explore. Be Jardin Escondido offered us the perfect blend of culture, comfort, and charm – a beautiful introduction to Buenos Aires for the whole family.
