Hilton Buenos Aires


The Hilton Buenos Aires is a five star hotel in the Argentine capital. The establishment is located in the city's Puerto Madero section.

Overview

The Hilton Buenos Aires was designed by Mario Roberto Álvarez, constructed by local developer Benito Roggio at a cost of around US$80 million, and inaugurated in January 2000. The seven-story hotel includes 417 rooms.
The hotel collaborated with U.S. toymaker Mattel in 2007 to redesign a number of its rooms thematically, resulting in a 'Barbie' and a 'Hot Wheels' room. Recent prominent guests at the hotel have included former U.S. President Bill Clinton and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford.
The Hilton Buenos Aires hosted the 125th IOC Session on September 7-10, 2013, where the International Olympic Committee selected Tokyo to be the host city of the 2020 Summer Olympics. Additionally, Thomas Bach was elected as the new president of the IOC during the session.
