A World of Sleep : South America
A World of Sleep : South America
For many people, Buenos Aires isn’t a city for sleeping - but whether you’re taking a siesta or crawling into bed as the sun comes up, Hotel Bonito is a gorgeous place to stay.
Whilst awake, you can revel in the flawlessly renovated Buenos Aires building, which is full of wonderfully chosen pieces of original art and classic pieces of modern design. Each room has been conceived by a different artist and genuinely feels like a completely thought-out mini-home.
We stayed in the Carmen “Raya” Alonso room, which was delicately designed by Argentinean artist Cecilia Szalkowicz. It’s a fascinating room of unexpected angles and trompe l’oeil art. The bed is situated on a mezzanine that maximises the extraordinary high ceilings of this classic Buenos Aires building.
Despite the bustle of the streets outside, this is a peaceful room, where we fell deeply to sleep and woke with the light streaming in from the towering french doors next to the bed.
The light waffle sheets, firm mattress and sturdy bed - designed especially for the room - along with the jacuzzi bath all made this an irresistible place to sleep.
As much as we loved the Buenos Aires nightlife we couldn’t help being lured back to this room each night.
