Plaza Hotel Buenos Aires
The Plaza Hotel Buenos Aires is a hotel in the Retiro district, near the Calle Florida shopping area and overlooking the Plaza San Martín. At the moment of its inauguration, the 9-floor hotel was the tallest building in Buenos Aires, until it was surpassed by the Kavanagh Building, inaugurated in 1936.
The hotel was part of several international chains including InterContinental, and Marriott (through which it achieved a five-star rating), then temporarily closed in 2017. The building has been undergoing refurbishment and it is expected to be opened in 2027 as a residential complex with a new 12-floor hotel structure.

Kavanagh Building
The Kavanagh Building (Spanish: Edificio Kavanagh) is a residential skyscraper in Retiro, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Designed in 1934 by architects Gregorio Sánchez, Ernesto Lagos and Luis María de la Torre, it is considered a pinnacle of modernist architecture. At the time of its inauguration in 1936, the Kavanagh was the tallest building in Latin America surpassing the Palacio Salvo built in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1928, as well as the tallest building in the world with a reinforced concrete structure.
It is considered one of the quintessential buildings of Buenos Aires. A 2013 Clarín survey of 600 people who are not architects or builders found that the Kavanagh is the building most liked by porteños. The Kavanagh Building was declared a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1994 and a National Historic Monument of Argentina in 1999.
