Salón 1923, Museum in Palacio Barolo rooftop, Monserrat, Argentina
Salón 1923 occupies the 16th floor of Palacio Barolo and features two outdoor terraces overlooking the Obelisco and Congress building. From this vantage point, visitors can observe the city in different light and seasons.
The space traces back to original plans by architect Mario Palanti and businessman Luis Barolo for a rooftop establishment within this building. What began as their vision eventually became a museum dedicated to preserving that era.
The interior reflects 1920s design with period furniture and decorative pieces that recreate the look of that era. Staff members wear clothing from the time, reinforcing the sense of stepping back into a chapter of Buenos Aires' past.
Access is typically available daily with extended hours on weekends. Those planning to photograph from the terraces should note that lighting changes throughout the day.
The museum houses an Urban Lighthouse structure that gives the space an unexpected feature. This structure offers visitors an additional perspective when viewing the city from above.

Buenos Aires transforms the moment you climb a few flights of stairs. The street noise fades away, and the city reveals itself from above. Rooftop bars have become natural gathering spots throughout the city—in Recoleta's refined corners, Palermo's creative neighborhoods, San Telmo's historic streets, and along Puerto Madero's waterfront. Each terrace has its own feel: some embrace modern design with clean lines, others lean toward bohemian charm, and several create the perfect setting as daylight fades. When evening arrives, music and conversation blend together, glasses clink against tables, and the city's lights begin to glow across the entire horizon. These rooftop spaces function as social hubs where locals and visitors gather to share a drink, have conversations, and simply look out over the sprawling city. Sitting above the streets changes how you experience Buenos Aires—the pace slows down, the air feels lighter, and you gain a perspective that makes the entire metropolis feel personal. Whether you choose a sleek downtown bar with designer touches or a more relaxed spot with Argentine wines and classic cocktails, the view remains the same: a city that reveals itself differently when seen from above. It's a way to step away from the daily rush while staying completely connected to the energy below.
