Stays That Slay: Buenos Aires to Mendoza

These slick LGBTQ+ welcoming hotels await in Argentina.

What’s new, Buenos Aires? Our Gay Tour of Argentina is what. This sizzling South American sojourn starts in the country’s civic centre, takes a side-trip to Iguazu Falls, and winds up in their wine capital – Mendoza! Every stop along the way will slay and have you cheering “olé, olé, olé!”

Pleno Palermo Soho, Buenos Aires

Kick it off at this swank boutique property

Located in the barrio of Palermo, which happens to be the polo capital of the world, this hotel is steps to brilliant food, nightlife and shopping. If you’re a steak fan – and Argentina knows steak – we stay literally next door to Don Julio, one of the world’s 50 best restaurants. The rooms are modern and understated. The service is all-encompassing. Then there’s breakfast: sensational, delicious, and bountiful. Finally, the rooftop splash pool is perfect for washing away the jet lag upon arrival. Between our tango lessons and food tours, we think you’ll find it’s a prime place to retreat.

Fill me up with your heat, with your noise, with your dirt, overdo me
Let me dance to your beat, make it loud, let it hurt, run it through me.

Club Tapiz & Casa Solo Vineyard, Mendoza

Wine lovers will savour sleeping among the vines

14 hectares of vineyards and farmland surround you at this relaxed 19th-century house-turned-hotel. Even better, much of the food served at the restaurant is grown on-site. There’s an outdoor pool, a bar, and a wine cellar with a cozy tasting room. If you fancy some pampering, the spa features mountain views, a sauna and a hot tub.
