Jardin Escondido, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Hidden in the tree-lined streets of Palermo Soho, Jardín Escondido feels more like a private artistic residence than a hotel.

With only 7 rooms, this boutique hideaway was once the Buenos Aires home of Francis Ford Coppola, and its intimate courtyards, leafy terraces, and warm interiors still reflect his personal touch.

It’s a serene urban refuge — sunlight filtering through vines, the scent of jasmine, and the hum of the city softened by lush gardens on all sides.

What Makes It Special

• 7 uniquely styled rooms, filled with books, art, and elegant South American craftsmanship.
• Former residence of Francis Ford Coppola, retaining a cinematic, personal atmosphere.
• Three tranquil gardens, ideal for reading, sipping wine, or simply unwinding.
• Small outdoor pool surrounded by greenery.
• Located in Palermo Soho, steps from cafés, galleries, boutiques, and nightlife.
• A home-style kitchen and living spaces that blur the line between guesthouse and private villa.
