The Pestana Group Announces a New Project in Argentina
The Pestana Buenos Aires Golf Hotel & Residences
The Internationalization of the Portuguese group reaches its 14th unit with an innovative project, its third unit in Argentina.
The Pestana Group, the largest Portuguese Hotel Group and one of the largest in Europe, through its brand "Pestana Hotels & Resorts", continues pursuing its strategy of internationalization and expansion of its offer in the South American units.
The project “Pestana Buenos Aires Golf Hotel & Residences” which will be managed by chain and will have the prestigious local group SOCMA as partner, confirms these objectives.
The project will be built in Bella Vista, in the province of Buenos Aires, located just 25 minutes from the capital, in the Buenos Aires Argentina Golf Club, a noble area of breathtaking natural beauty. The works begin in 2011 and the opening is due in 2013.
The Pestana Buenos Aires Golf follows the trend of luxury ventures that combine in one area residences, hotel infrastructure and golf. The hotel, on the edge of a lake, has 120 rooms and suites, restaurant, convention centre, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, soccer fields, tennis court and SPA, among other services.
O projecto arquitectónico está a cargo dos arquitectos argentinos Martín Foucarde e Alejandro Polizzi (autores do famoso Museu de Arte Latino-americana de Buenos Aires – o MALBA, entre outros), que pretendem valorizar a integração harmoniosa com a grande área verde do complexo. A decoração interior será da responsabilidade do conceituado arquitecto brasileiro Jaime Morais.
The architectural project is by Argentine architects Martín Foucarde and Alejandro Polizzi (authors of the famous Museum of Latin American art of Buenos Aires – the MALBA, among others), who wish to value the harmonious integration with the vast green area of the complex. The interior decoration project will be signed by the prestigious Brazilian architect Jaime Morais.
"One of the highlights of the project is undoubtedly the combination with the professional golf course that already exists and that was designed by the American Golf Course Design (Randall Thompson), considered one of the best golf courses in the world and the best on the continent, where world champion Tigger Woods has played before" says Luis Araujo, Group Pestana board member.
The vast experience in tourism real estate Group Pestana was a decisive factor in this project. Residential houses and apartments for rent are divided into six blocks of buildings, which will count with the hotel’s full infrastructure and services.
With participation in this new venture, the Group further extends its presence in Argentina, where it installed its first unit, the Pestana Buenos Aires, in 2004 and recently, in 2009, took over the management of Pestana Bariloche Ski & Golf Resort.
