[Tango-A] SA: Conventillo de Lujo

[Ray Hogan]

Between the turn of the twentieth century and World War II several waves of European immigrants arrived in Buenos Aires in search of a better future.  Many of them found lodging in the big old houses of the San Telmo, La Boca, and Montserrat neighborhoods.  Singles, couples, and even complete families lived in poor rooms giving on to a common inner patio.   These collective 
lodgings, the conventillos, became a milestone in the history of the city.   The energy derived from the tenant's swarming dreams, gossip, and fights gave birth to tango.

Conventillo de Lujo brings back to life one of those wonderful patios. Together with the hospitality of a "porteña" family, one integrated by Amy & Ray, the Conventillo is open to visitors who arrive, once again, in the dawn of the twenty-first century, excited and eager to experience the traditions of Buenos Aires, its tango and its folklore, and expecting to mingle with 
the immense cultural wealth of a passionate people, with the nightlife of the city and the unending offer of activities, ranging from sports to the best cuisine, from education to tourism.

Conventillo de Lujo can accommodate groups of up to 20 people, to guarantee maximum comfort, security and relaxation.  Smoking is allowed only in the terraced balconies and the rooftop patio.  This brand new four-story corner building offers every necessary service to ensure your stay will be a warm and unforgettable experience.  Conventillo de Lujo is located on Benjamín Matienzo in the traditional neighborhood of Belgrano, classic area of old villas, some of which are still beautifully kept, turned into embassies and luxurious private residences.   Only two blocks away from the busy Cabildo Avenue, we have the best access to public transportation (subway, taxis, urban buses ?"colectivos").
