Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio Brand Debuts in Buenos Aires With Recoleta Grand

The Argentine capital has a new Marriott property thanks to the opening of the Recoleta Grand, Buenos Aires, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel.

“The opening of Recoleta Grand marks an exciting chapter for Tribute Portfolio as we continue to expand into Argentina,” said Brian King, president, Marriott International, Caribbean and Latin America. “This property captures the essence of what makes the brand so compelling – distinctive design, vibrant spaces, and an authentic connection to place.”

Here’s what you need to know about this exciting new option for Marriott loyalists.

Buenos Aires Gets a New Marriott Hotel

The opening of the Recoleta Grand, Buenos Aires, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, marks the brand’s debut in the South American city.

Located in the posh Recoleta neighborhood, known for its European — specifically French — influence, the new hotel offers 142 guest rooms and 6 suites designed by Buenos Aires local Lucas Gashu to reflect the city’s unique “porteño” culture and French look.

Buenos Aires is crazy about literature, and the hotel reflects that. Bilingual books are in every guest room, and “curated vintage collections” are found in public spaces throughout the property.

Dining is also a focus at the Recoleta Grand. Overseen by Chef Maximiliano Matsumoto, the hotel offers 3 dining outposts. Café de Prensa is a spot to grab a specialty coffee, The Atrium is an all-day option that focuses on serving local flavors, and Mansión Mihura incorporates several other spaces to offer “bold, author-driven cuisine in immersive spaces inspired by Latin American literature.”

The cocktail program is led by Ignacio Maggio, a well-known Argentine mixologist who has worked at notable bars across the region.

The hotel also boasts plentiful meeting space, a rooftop terrace and pool, a fully equipped fitness center, the Floralis Spa, and an executive lounge.

How To Book the Recoleta Grand

The Recoleta Grand is now open for guests and participates in the Marriott Bonvoy program, which means you can earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points for stays.

Cash rates start at just under $250 per night, while award nights start at just 23,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night — a great rate.

Remember, too, that it’s easy to earn Marriott Bonvoy points, largely due to its many transfer partners. You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, and Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott at a 1:1 ratio.

You could also open one of the best Marriott Bonvoy credit cards. These cards come with large welcome bonus offers and some form of Marriott Bonvoy elite status.

Final Thoughts

The opening of the Recoleta Grand in one of Buenos Aires’ most upscale neighborhoods is welcome news for Marriott loyalists, who haven’t been spoiled for choice when it comes to hotels in the Argentine capital.

If you’re traveling to Argentina soon and need a place to stay, you’ll definitely want to add this new property to your list of options!
