"Once Francis Ford Coppola’s home while shooting Tetro, this seven-room hideaway is a little slice of heaven in buzzy Palermo Soho: terra‑cotta‑tiled patios, lush gardens, an outdoor kitchen with a parrilla, and warm, light-filled rooms named for Coppola family members. Furnishings and art were selected by Coppola himself, and service is ultra‑discreet—a manager, concierge, and sommelier are on hand, cell phone at the ready, but out of sight unless needed." - Celeste Moure
"The Jardín Escondido, once home to Francis Ford Coppola."
"Francis Ford Coppola reportedly fell in love with Buenos Aires while shooting the film Tetro in 2008, when he lived and worked in the spacious townhouse that’s now a boutique hotel known as BE Jardin Escondido." - MICHELIN Guide
"Francis Ford Coppola reportedly fell in love with Buenos Aires while shooting the film Tetro in 2008, when he lived and worked in the spacious townhouse that’s now a boutique hotel known as BE Jardin Escondido. His latest hospitality venture is clearly a personal project that brings a few of his favorite things to the chic neighborhood of Palermo Soho — fine wines, small luxuries, and quiet corners to sit and write." - MICHELIN Guide
"How did it strike you on arrival? The one-time home of Francis Ford Coppola while shooting his film Tetro, this hotel is like a little piece of heaven in buzzy Palermo Soho. Inside are terracotta-tiled patios, lush gardens, an outdoor kitchen with a parrilla , and warm and light-filled rooms, each one named after a different Coppola family member. The good stuff: Tell us about your room. There are only seven rooms here, and each is decorated with furniture and art selected, presumably, by Coppola himself during his travels in Argentina and elsewhere in Latin America—including indigenous Peruvian tapestries. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase? Rooms are decorated with hand-woven rugs and calfskins, leather sofas peppered with Peruvian pillows, heavy alpaca blankets on the beds—all of which you'll want to take home with you if you could. How about the staff? The service is ultra-discreet: A manager, concierge, and sommelier are on hand, but they’re usually out of sight (cell phone at the ready) unless required. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you. The unheated pool in the garden is perfect for a refreshing dip after a day of exploring the neighborhood. There's no restaurant, but the hotel serves breakfast in the lounge, and the bar has some very nice wines from Coppola's own vineyard in Mendoza. Bottom line: worth it, and why? For film fans, staying in the house where the iconic filmmaker once lived is priceless. For everyone else, this little hotel is welcoming, warm, and cozy." - Celeste Moure
