The area
Neighbourhood: San Telmo
Characterized by cobblestones and narrow streets, San Telmo is defined by the tango, the dance that made Buenos Aires world-famous. Tango is a fusion of many different cultures: a true child of immigration, much like the city itself. Nowadays, it comes alive after dark in the milongas (dance parties) attended by both locals and visitors alike, who dance until the wee hours of the morning. During the day, the antique shops and classic cafés and bars around Plaza Dorrego dominate the scene. The emblematic Bar Plaza Dorrego, with its green awnings, checkered tile floors, and wooden interiors, takes you back in time the moment you step inside. For true porteño traditions, San Telmo is the place to be.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

La Galería del Viejo Hotel del barrio de San Telmo cuenta con más de cien años, este edificio fue construido en 1860 para ser utilizado como hotel en el Barrio de San Telmo. El edificio no guarda relación con ningún estilo en especial y hacia 1979 se modificó su frente, aunque se conservaron el patio, el umbral y los faroles originales, para ser destinado a Galería de Arte. El edificio tiene dos plantas con hermosos patios de estilo español y un total de 66 habitaciones. El edificio estaba habitado por inmigrantes, hasta que al llegar la epidemia de la fiebre amarilla, las habitaciones fueron ocupadas por las personas que se enfermaban, y termino convirtiéndose en un hospital. Años más tarde, pasó a ser una pensión y conventillo, como muchos edificios del barrio. En el año 1980, la actual Galería del Viejo Hotel pasó a ser un lugar cultural y de arte, con música, antigüedades y aterieres. Actualmente, en los patios hay negocios de antigüedades, también atelieres pertenecientes a artistas y un restaurante. La Galería del Viejo Hotel, con grandes plantas como helechos y malvones, es uno de los lugares más tradicionales del barrio de San Telmo. La Galería del Viejo Hotel se caracteriza por seguir su propio ritmo en el tiempo, y no el del barrio de San Telmo.

Vamos bastante seguido a la zona de San Telmo y siempre encontramos algo que nos sorprende. Descubrimos esta galería de casualidad, ya que se encuentra en una calle empedrada y de poco tránsito. Su construcción es del año 1890, tiene un hermoso patio que conserva sus baldosas originales, con helechos y malvones. En el año 1979 fue declarada Patrimonio Histórico de la ciudad. Podemos encontrar talleres de arte, literarios y varios artistas plásticos, escultores y artesanos. Funciona además un bar muy bonito.

Una visita en San Telmo donde se puede ver trabajando a los artistas. Es una galería de arte para ver o comprar obras o pasar un buen momento en los barcitos

Esta galeria fue construida originalmente como un hotel aproximadamente en el año 1900. En la actualidad es una galeria de arte y algunos bares para tomar algo. Recomiendo observar sus pintorescos patios que nos remontan a otra epoca.
