A beautifully restored, nineteenth-century Spanish colonial façade greets guests at this luxurious property, located on the Plaza de la Independencia. Although the city of Mendoza is best known for its surrounding vineyards and nearby Andes' ski resorts (which can be seen from the guest rooms), this hotel gives visitors plenty of good reasons to stay in town. Its two-level casino unites elegant European ambience with personal service to create an atmosphere that lures in glamorous gamblers from around the world. The variety of table games includes all the usual suspects, as well as punto y banca, a local variation of baccarat.
