In a gorgeous double-height space bathed in natural light, gourmands and those who love a great meal with friends and family will come together at Elena. The space features a dramatic spiral staircase to the balcony level, where private dining areas are available, and the look is fresh and open, yet a welcome escape from the busy city just outside. Rich interior furnishings - including a glass doored dry ageing case, marble butcher’s table manned by an expert chef and locally-sourced antiques - seamlessly blend South American and European cultures in true Buenos Aires fashion, with hand-crafted finishes by local artisans adding a unique character.

Named for Elena Peña Unzué, the bride of La Mansión, a historic building that houses the Hotel’s most opulent suites and hosts the city’s most glittering social events. On the menu guests will find a broad selection of the meats beloved by locals, from precision-cut dry aged steaks and Argentinian kobe beef to the highest quality pork, chicken and other meats, and abundant fresh seafood. Expertly prepared on the rotisserie, mains are accompanied by lushly presented seasonal vegetables

International guests will enjoy local libations such as Crios Torrontés wine with St-Germain elderflower liqueur from France in the Des-Coya martini, or Hesperidina aperitif to Mexican tequila in our Sunny Margarita. Also on the drinks menu: artisanal beers, such as the locally produced Lothar and Stallion beers; and a wine list highlighted by bubbly selections including champagne and sparkling wines.

An urban bites menu has been devised that includes choices such as housemade chorizo and oxtail empanadas, as well as international dishes such as hummus and focaccia, and universally-loved favourites including mini burgers (done Latin style with spicy chipotle), and truffled french fries. A selection of sandwiches and salads offer excellent choices for lunch or a light supper, and funky pizzas are ideal for sharing with a pitcher of local beer.
