GAY SAN TELMO

San Telmo is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. Birthplace of the tango, where antique stores, bars and restaurants cluster together in their big, 19th century refurbished rambling houses and tenements. Designer stores, night spots and literary cafés form a broad hedonistic universe, full of history. Every weekend, just a few blocks from Avenida 9 de Julio and the Casa Rosada, the antiques fair fills the picturesque Plaza Dorrego with movement, people and color.

Lately, some gay businesses have begun to spring up in San Telmo, like Axel Hotel Buenos Aires, making a clear bid to turn the area into the center of the Buenos Aires gay district.

In the heart of San Telmo, where the mystic sensuality of the tango still lingers in the streets, the staff of the Axel Hotel Buenos Aires will fill you in on the latest in the city´s gay district, so you don´t miss a thing.
