Tribute Portfolio, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s collection of over 30 unique hotel brands, makes its Buenos Aires debut with the opening of Recoleta Grand, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. Located in the city’s storied Recoleta district, celebrated for its Parisian charm and cultural depth, the hotel captures the soul of its surroundings through expressive design and locally rooted storytelling.
Recoleta Grand channels the neighborhood’s literary and artistic spirit, blending early 20th-century elegance with a modern indie sensibility. The property’s 142 guest rooms, including six distinctive suites, were designed by Buenos Aires-based Lucas Gashu. Interiors showcase a rich interplay of textures, handcrafted details, and art that reflects both porteña heritage and French influence.
By pairing bold aesthetics with cultural authenticity, Recoleta Grand offers a refined yet character-driven experience, aligning with Tribute Portfolio’s ethos of celebrating individuality through design-led hospitality.
