Poetry Building

Top choice in Recoleta & Barrio Norte


These gorgeous studios and one-bedroom apartments are perfect for families. Each one is different, eclectically decorated with reproduction antique furniture, and all come with plenty of mod cons and a fully equipped kitchen (stocked with groceries on request). Some apartments have a private outdoor balcony or patio, but there’s also a beautiful common terrace with soaking pool.

Best of all is the rooftop vegetable garden, where guests can help themselves to homegrown kale, hot peppers, chard, beans and tomatoes. Two-night minimum stay.
