"The onetime headquarters of the army club, Circulo Militar, Palacio Paz is a magnificent Belle Epoque building that is considered one of the best examples of French architecture in the city. Attached to the 1890s-era building is a newer structure with a similar façade and accommodations that once welcomed visiting army guests. During the pandemic, the structure and army apartments were converted into a boutique hotel with 56 minimalist but comfortable guestrooms that call to mind an Ace Hotel in the Pacific Northwest. Set on the ground level, Moby Dick is a cozy little restaurant with an American vibe and a menu that will appeal to most everyone—think avocado toast, burgers and fries, steak or salmon with grilled vegetables, gnocchi, and milanesas, the breaded veal steak that’s beloved by every porteño." - Celeste Moure
