Welcome to BONITO Buenos Aires Boutique Hotel, Montserrat.

Five beautiful rooms on the 3rd floor of a four-storey 1914 building located in the traditional neighbourhood of Montserrat. They are all equipped with their own private bathroom, minibar, split air conditioning system, jacuzzi or scotch douche, LCD TV, and safe. Our living-room, integrated with a bar, is ideal for relaxing and meeting, also open to cultural events, music seasons, film proyections, readings and private parties. Tasty and abundant breakfast service is offered, served at requested time.

BONITO Montserrat was reformed by Yanina’s partner Pablo Larramendy, along with Juan Maggi, from 7ymedioarquitectura merging unexpected architectural instances with the antique style of the building.
Each room is intervened by a different artist who reinterprets its essence by giving a unique value to it and inviting the guest to become a part of a singular micro-universe.

About us

If you find yourself here, it is not by chance. Most likely, our link was not the first of the list retrieved by your search, and you must have taken a few minutes to do some research on what there is beyond the usual. And, most likely, we have something in common…
We like to live our own experiences, we love to be fussed over, we like our room not to be the same as the one next door, we find pleasure in little details, we take care of what is ours and value what belongs to another, we don’t like to be lied to and overcharged, we’re not equally pleased with everything, we don’t need the walls to be at a 90 degrees angle if spaces are better shaped differently, we don’t usually do what others do, we prefer noble and pure shapes and objects to pretentious luxury, we appreciate art, we enjoy a good film, we somewhat avoid watching television so that we can peacefully read a good book before falling asleep or have a nice chat or simple hug the one we love.

So BONITO is inviting you to enjoy as much as we do. You’re invited to breathe and gaze out of the window into a distinctive view of Buenos Aires, to wrap yourself in a fluffy towel, to take your time to enjoy a tasty breakfast and have fun pouring water into a little cup with a little chair inside of it, to lay in the bathtub looking at the stars…

BONITO is managed by its owner Yanina Szalkowicz, a travel, art and culture lover.

“I was born and raised in Buenos Aires. I love this city, its tireless activity, its immensity. Since I was very young I’ve had the good fortune to fulfill one of my dreams, which was to travel all over the world, wandering about different places and admiring their diverse cultures. The pleasure of being in contact with foreigners led me to create Bonito. This was also possible thanks to my mother’s support
I think it’s interesting to create from a less conventional perspective a pleasant and comfortable enviroment for the traveller by showing them the best and most pleasurable face of Buenos Aires.”

A placed carried out with such dedication is stamped with its owners’ mark.
BONITO proposes a commitment to space.
Each room is tackled by a different artist who reinterprets its essence by giving it a unique value and inviting the guest to become a part of a singular micro-universe.
Instead of just hanging a picture on the wall, the idea was to merge the artwork with the new architecture, achieving full potential of its features, visual paths, colours and spaciousness.

The artistic side of BONITO is about being an alternative place for exhibition, available for argentinian artists to create freely within the concept of the hotel

“To coexist with art affects the mood, opens perspective to different experiences, provoques unusual sensations and inspires search and expresion.”

Every three months approximately we celebrate the presentation of a new room intervention. We take no reservations for that night so that the rooms are also party stage, available for our party guests can get to know them. Another excuse for partying is usually the introduction of projects that we find interesting, such as a fashion show of a new clothing brand, the launch of a new magazine, a live drawing workshop, live readings of a new book, a exclusive vintage clothing fair, live projections of different artists, etc. There’s always an interesting band that plays live and a live DJ set. Of course, bartending as well. And we draw lots for free stays at BONITO!

At BONITO Montserrat you will also find the 15 litros Art Gallery; concept by Fernanda Laguna and curated by Cecilia Szalkowicz.
