We Love
- The garden — a vine-draped pool and garden hidden completely from the street, scented with jasmine and visited by hummingbirds; a green inner courtyard at the centre of the hotel.
- The design — mid-century furniture much of it found in local flea markets and restored by the owners, salvaged wood panelling, and antique wallpaper in every room, some of it over a century old.
- The art — a rotating collection by local artists refreshed every six months, so the hotel changes through the year; a living gallery rather than a fixed scheme.
- The Garden Suite — the showpiece, with floor-to-ceiling glass, a spiral stair to its own roof terrace with loungers and an outdoor shower, and a private shallow pool below.
- The location — the leafy heart of Palermo Hollywood, among the best restaurants, bars and design shops in Buenos Aires, with the rest of the city an easy taxi or metro ride away.

Origins
Home Hotel is the work of one couple and their taste, and it shows in every room. Patricia O'Shea, an Irish-Argentine raised in Palermo, and her husband Tom Rixton, a British music producer, came back to her childhood neighbourhood to marry in 2002 — and found that the boutique hotel they would have wanted to put their guests in did not yet exist in Buenos Aires. So they built it. Home opened in 2006, a pioneer in what was then the up-and-coming barrio of Palermo Hollywood, a few streets from Patricia's old school.
They designed it themselves, with the Argentine architect Rodrigo Cuñill, and it has the personality of a private house rather than a hotel brand. Mid-century furniture — much of it hunted down in local flea markets and antique shops and restored by hand — sits against salvaged wood panelling from the building that stood here before, and antique wallpaper, some of it more than a century old, lines the rooms. Rixton's musical past runs quietly through it too, from the playlists in the lounge to the rock-and-roll guests; Bono played an intimate set here in 2006 after a stadium show across town.
The heart of it all is the garden: a vine-draped, jasmine-scented courtyard with an outdoor pool, hidden completely from the street and busy with hummingbirds, with the restaurant and spa opening onto it through walls of glass. Twenty rooms run from cosy doubles up to the showpiece Garden Suite, with its own roof terrace and shallow pool, and two loft apartments for those who want to live like locals. Add a rotating collection of art by local creators, refreshed twice a year, and warm, wholly bilingual staff, and the result lives up to its name.
Top Secret
The hotel changes through the year, by design. Every six months Home hands its walls over to a team of local artists, who strip out the existing works and hang an entirely new collection — so the art you see on one visit will have gone by the next, replaced by something else from the Buenos Aires scene. It turns the hotel into a living gallery that quietly reinvents itself, and means regulars never quite stay in the same Home twice. Ask at the desk who is showing while you are there; the works are by working local artists, and most are for sale.
The Review
Home Hotel is among the most characterful places to stay in Buenos Aires, and the reason is that it is genuinely personal: the creation of Patricia O'Shea and Tom Rixton, who designed it as an extension of their own taste and opened it in 2006 as a pioneer of the Palermo Hollywood scene. It is small — twenty rooms and suites plus two loft apartments — and styled with real conviction: mid-century furniture restored by hand, salvaged panelling, antique wallpaper, and a rotating collection of local art that changes twice a year.
The rooms run from compact courtyard-facing doubles to the lavish Garden Suite, with its glass walls, spiral stair, private roof terrace and shallow pool; many have garden views, and the lofts come with their own kitchens and Argentine barbecues. But the soul of the place is its hidden garden — a jasmine-scented, hummingbird-busy courtyard with an outdoor pool, onto which the glass-walled restaurant and spa open. The food, a fixture of the Buenos Aires brunch scene, and the warm bilingual service complete it.
It suits design-minded travellers and couples who want personality, calm and a great location over the polish of a grand hotel — this is a relaxed, residential, owner-run place, not a slick five-star. And the setting is ideal: the best restaurants, bars and design shops in the city are on the doorstep in Palermo, the rest of Buenos Aires an easy ride away. For a stylish, intimate base in the city's most creative barrio, there are few to match it.
