The hotel was built by Buenos Aires businessman and socialite Dr. Rafael de Miero, who had been to Paris in the early 1920s and wanted to bring a comparably grand Belle Epoque hotel to his then-flourishing hometown. He bought and demolished a large house on the corner of Avenida Alvear and Ayacucho in 1922, which began the decade-long on-again, off-again project, which finally opened in 1932. A success, it was expanded in 1940, consuming another old mansion on Avenida Alvear.[1]
In 1970, ownership passed to the 26-year-old Andreas von Salm-Kyrburg Wernitz, Duke of Hornes, Spanish cousin of King Juan Carlos I,[2] who presided over the hotel's slow decline as a result of labour disputes and a general Argentinian economic stagnation. With bankruptcy threatening, in 1978 Wernitz sold the hotel to the Aragon Hotel Group, and since 1984, it's been part of David Sutton Dabbah's Alvear Luxury Hotels.
In 1964, in room 805, actress Juliette Mayniel tried to commit suicide when she learned that her husband Vittorio Gassman was deceiving her. A hotel employee saved her just in time.
On May 4, 1992, the Swedish music group Roxette recorded the songs "Here Comes the Weekend" and "So Far Away" in room 603; the songs were included in their album Tourism.
Christina Onassis bought suite 334 only to speak on the phone during her frequent stays in Buenos Aires.
Horacio Ferrer Lived in the hotel for 38 years until his death in 2014.
