Hotel Castelar, Art Nouveau hotel building at Avenida de Mayo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Hotel Castelar stands as a fourteen-story structure combining Italian architectural elements with early twentieth-century Argentine design principles along Avenida de Mayo.
Architect Mario Palanti completed this building in 1928 during a period of extensive architectural development in Buenos Aires, applying his expertise from Milan's Politecnico.
Federico García Lorca selected this hotel for his six-month residence, while the literary group El Signo, including Jorge Luis Borges, held regular meetings here.
The central location at De Mayo Avenue 1152 provides direct access to multiple transportation options and main cultural attractions of Buenos Aires.
The building represents the work of Mario Palanti, who designed both this hotel and Palacio Barolo, creating architectural landmarks on Avenida de Mayo.
