Palacio Álzaga Unzué, French-inspired mansion in Retiro district, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Palacio Álzaga Unzué features red brick and gray stone facades, adorned with Corinthian columns and detailed plant ornaments throughout its exterior.

Built in 1916 as a wedding gift for Félix Saturnino de Álzaga Unzué and Elena Peña Unzué, the mansion took four years to complete under architect Robert Russel Prentice.

The mansion represents the architectural preferences of Argentine aristocracy, combining English Edwardian style with French Loire Valley castle influences.

The building now functions as part of Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires, offering seven luxury suites within its original structure at Cerrito 1455.

Each room in the piano nobile contains distinct designs with Italian marble floors, burnished gold decorative elements, and restored stucco work from Teatro Colón artisans.
