A Hedonist`s Guide to… Buenos Aires

2007 y.
Publisher: HG2
Description: Luckily Buenos Aires is not all about football and tango. Currently the toast of South America, Argentina`s capital has seen unprecedented growth and development since the economic crash of 2002. Urban renewal has led to the gentrification of the city`s seedier barrios transforming artisan`s workshops into cutting-edge restaurants, chic shops and the hippest of hotels. The recent opening of small, design focused hotels such as Home and Bobo have attracted as much interest as Phillippe Starck`s offering the Faena Hotel and Universe. Buenos Aires is stylish, the elegantly sophisticated portenas know how to shop and the streets of Palermo Viejo, the city`s hippest barrio, are littered with cutting edge Argentine fashion and design led restaurants/bars. Beyond the look, locals possess almost unfathomable levels of stamina and are often to be found partying into the morning sunlight on a weekday night. Photographed Charles Froggatt.
