The capital of Argentina is getting its first 5-star gay hotel. General manager Nacho Rodriguez said the hotel is designed to be open and airy, with a top-floor glass-bottomed pool that can be seen from the lobby below. “Many gay hotels and places are closed off and can’t be seen from the street,” Rodriguez said. “We wanted our hotel to be open and visible. Why should we try and hide ourselves?”
About 25% of a sister-hotel’s guests (in Barcelona, Spain) are heterosexual, and Rodriguez claims the hotel is hetero-friendly.
Buenos Aires is in the running for the gay capital of Latin America, competing against Rio de Janeiro.
