# Algodon Mansion:Living like Roger Federer in Buenos Aires

> Algodon Mansion is a restored French classical boutique hotel in Buenos Aires' upscale Recoleta neighborhood, and the city's only Relais & Châteaux property, known for its opulent suites, farm-to-table restaurant, and exclusive hospitality that attracted tennis star Roger Federer during his Buenos Aires exhibition matches.
