The most mysterious piece within the architectural repertoire of the Alvear Avenue is the building on the corner with Rodriguez Peña. Everyone identified the Palace by the huge magnolia that presides over the garden.Alvear Avenue, Buenos Aires elegant emblem, contains an important collection of architecture from 1900 (see the restoration of such spaces in the new and moderns Apart hotels in Buenos Aires).

Then, in the years ten to twenty, almost everything was replaced by large hotels particuliers, inspired by French architecture from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as is evidenced by the current seat of the Apostolic Nuncio or large building that houses the embassies of France and Brazil. But in the late twenties-era Palace would conclude: people began to prefer home-style French departments, ie something with a lot of Louis XV, Louis XVI.

The thirties and forties brought a flood of modern apartment buildings with the yacht style. Moreover, French style resisted until the fifties, in apartment buildings with proportions very relaxed and simplified details.Also if you are interested to visit and learn more about this wonderful neighborhood at Buenos Aires, you can check the availability of temporary apartments or book online an excelent Hotel Buenos Aires for your next vacations in Argentina.source: lanacion.com.ar
