The antique markets, candle street lighting, cobbled roads, and historic buildings with original facades and décor create a lovely bohemian atmosphere. La Boca, a neighborhood famous for its brightly-painted houses. It's also home to the legendary Boca Juniors Football Club, where Diego Maradona made his name. Puerto Madero, which is situated on the riverside along the Río de la Plata. This major gastronomic and business hub is situated in former commercial docks. Along the canals, these former industrial warehouses were converted into elegant bars, eateries, and offices during one of the most successful urban waterfront restoration projects in the world. Palermo, the largest neighborhood, hosts huge parks and some of Buenos Aires' trendiest bars, clubs, and fashion boutiques. This neighborhood—which has nearly 350 acres of parks, lakes, and wooded areas—offers a peaceful retreat from the busy city.

EOLO embodies the spirit of Patagonia, built on the land where the first creole and European immigrants of the area initially set foot, one can't help but sense the aura of adventure that the thousands of travelers who journeyed through this area have left behind. The hotel is conveniently located halfway between the city of El Calafate and Los Glaciares National Park, yet far from the commotion of the tourist activity in the area. The 10,000 acres property is a paradise for horseback riding, mountain bike rides, trekking, bird watching and, of course, to fully enjoy the subtle elegance of the installations. It is a unique property that expands from a lagoon, to forests on the Cerro Frías's slopes. So close, and yet so far: that is exactly where EOLO is located, close to the most important southern icons: The Andes Mountains, the lakes and the glaciers - while immersed in the steppe's windy silence.
