Mansion Dandi Royal

Mansion Dandi Royal is in San Telmo and is the place to stay if a ‘normal’ hotel isn’t quite your cup of tea. If you love dance and tango then this old mural covered house and themed hotel is the place for you.

The décor in this former bordello is exciting, showy and loud and all dedicated to the sexy national dance that is tango. There are portraits of famous dancers on the walls.

There is a roof terrace with a small pool and gym area if you are feeling energetic. The guest rooms are very different in size and style. Service is personalized and friendly too making it an unforgettable and quirky place to stay.

There is an antique and flea market to explore every Sunday morning in San Telmo from about 9 am. You may have to haggle hard to get any real bargains but even if you don't buy the atmosphere is fun.

“Shack up at the Dandi Royal, BA's self-proclaimed 'tango residential academy', and you'll eat, sleep and dance tango. Occupying a spectacular San Telmo mansion from the early 1900s, it boasts king size beds, claw-foot tubs, a rooftop lap pool and a dance studio.” The Lonely Planet Guidebook.
