Hotels & Lodging: The Craft Hotel in Buenos Aires by Janet

The ten-room Craft Hotel, located in the center of Palermo Soho in Buenos Aires, features fresh, whitewashed interiors with the occasional piece of rustic wooden furniture. The hotel doubles as an art space, with artwork on display throughout the hotel by Fabiana Barreda, a local artist whose video installations and romantic photography are well-known in Buenos Aires. Most of the handcrafted wooden furniture and the stairs were made by artist Pablo Ledesma. As an added perk, the hotel provides complimentary bicycles to guests during their stay.
