Sofitel Cardales La Reserva is the first resort hotel in Argentina, blending Sofitel's premium-end services and Argentina's hospitality; the brand’s 14th hotel in South America and the second in Argentina. Situated only 40 minutes outside of Buenos Aires, Sofitel Cardales La Reserva is nestled in a unique natural environment, combining its own harmonious features with the surrounding forests and close proximity of the Rómulo Otamendi Natural Reserve.
Sofitel La Reserva Cardales offers more than 159 luxury rooms with private balconies, a presidential suite and three bungalows built around a 50-acre lake. Conscious of the needs of many different travelers, Sofitel built the resort for guests seeking a perfect blend of business, leisure, wellness, and sophistication.
The hotel’s business center offers several meeting rooms fully equipped with the latest technology and services required for today's executives.
Interior Design and Architecture - Architect Roberto Otero (Otero Architecture) lead the team for the hotel’s interior design. Drawing upon inspiration from other examples of grand architecture, Otero conceived the design to communicate a unique message to every guest.
The pivotal architectural theme became that of a “countryside hotel,” leaving behind trendy hotel imagery. As a result, natural materials such as stone, wood, earth-toned wall paint were used to create public spaces that unite the indoors and outdoors to create a natural and organic atmosphere. The lobby’s large and open spaces are accented with impressive paintings, and each guestroom boasts comfortable textures, a plush armchair and a luxurious bed.
A Unique Gourmet Experience with 4 restaurants – Sofitel Cardales La Reserva’s diverse range of restaurants guarantees guests the opportunity to experience one of Sofitel’s signature trademarks – exquisite gourmet.
