BE Jardin Escondido by Coppola
Gaucho-glam filmmaker's townhouse. Terracotta tiles, hand-woven rugs, calfskin throws, alpaca blankets, leather sofas with Peruvian pillows. Warm and earthy, not stuffy. Feels like crashing at a very well-traveled friend's home rather than checking into a hotel.
Book the Francis Suite if you want the room Coppola actually slept in — it's in the garden, with direct terrace access.
Why It Matters
It's the actual former residence of Francis Ford Coppola, kept largely as he left it. Art and objects selected personally by him. A personal sommelier and on-call parrilla chef are standard. Only seven rooms, bookable individually or as a full buyout.
Francis Ford Coppola came to Buenos Aires in 2008 to shoot Tetro and fell hard for this Palermo Soho townhouse. He kept it. Now it's a seven-room boutique hotel where every room is named after a Coppola family member or Argentine literary legend. The place is genuinely personal: furniture and art collected by Coppola himself, first-class stemware, a full film library, and a personal sommelier on call to pour something from the Coppola winery in Mendoza. Three levels of greenery, a solar-heated pool, and an outdoor parrilla round out one of the most distinctive small hotels in South America.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Bolaño Superior Double
Named after Chilean novelist Roberto Bolaño. Located on the first floor of the main house with a private balcony and garden views. Queen bed, armchair, writing desk, and ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower. Good size for a Superior category room in a seven-room hotel.
Queen · 22 sqm
Cortázar Superior Two Twins
Named for Argentine writer Julio Cortázar — a fitting tribute in a Palermo neighborhood Cortázar once called home. Two single beds, fitted wardrobes, ensuite bathroom. First floor of the main house with a balcony overlooking the street rather than the garden.
Twin · 21 sqm
Ellie Superior Plus Twin
A tribute to Eleanor Coppola — the room she used when Francis was working late. Standalone room in the garden, separated from the Francis Suite by a small corridor. King bed that converts to two singles, ensuite with bath tub or shower. Nice private garden feel.
King (convertible to twin) · 27 sqmExclusive Buyout
The entire seven-bedroom house for exclusive use, sleeping up to 13 guests. You get Nieta's Studio (upper wing, single bed, two terraces), four rooms on the first floor (Roman Suite, Bolaño, Sofia, Cortázar), and two garden rooms (Francis Suite and Ellie). All seven rooms come with free WiFi, Smart TV, minibar, and air-conditioning. The pool, outdoor kitchen, library, video library, and all terraces are entirely yours.
Francis Suite
The room Coppola himself slept in. Located in the garden — so you get that direct outdoor connection, away from the main house. King bed, wardrobe, and ensuite with shower or bathtub. Guests who stay here are essentially in the director's private quarters.
King · 31 sqmNieta's Studio
Francis's actual writing room — where parts of the Tetro script were worked out. Tiny and purposeful: single bed, wardrobe, sofa, and desk. Set in the garden wing with direct access to two private terraces. The most atmospheric room in the house for anyone who's here to write or think.
Single · 15 sqmRoman Suite
Named after Roman Coppola, Francis's son. First floor of the main house with garden views. Same generous 31 sqm as the Francis Suite, with king bed, wardrobe, and ensuite bathroom with shower or bathtub. One of the best views of the garden from inside the house.
King · 31 sqmSofia Superior Plus Double
Sofia Coppola's former room. First floor of the main house, overlooking the garden. Double bed, wardrobe, and bathroom with shower. The garden view makes this one of the more sought-after rooms despite not being the largest.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
A parrilla master comes in to source and prepare a full Argentine barbecue on the terrace grill. They handle the shopping — local meats, vegetables, the works. You just bring your appetite. Pairs well with anything from the Coppola wine collection.
Learn to prepare a traditional Argentine three-course criolla menu. Run on request — organise through the concierge in advance. A hands-on, genuinely local experience rather than a tourist cooking demo.
Bike rentals available for exploring Palermo's parks, streets, and the nearby Carlos Thays Botanic Garden. Palermo is one of Buenos Aires' most bike-friendly neighborhoods.
The video library holds the complete Coppola filmography plus films personally gifted to Francis by the Tetro cast and crew. Request a screening or browse at your leisure. The house has the feel of a well-curated private cinema collection.
The house library holds works by Latin American writers and a curated selection of titles Coppola consulted during the development of Tetro. Doubles as the breakfast room. Good for long, slow mornings.
The hotel's on-call sommelier arranges tastings from the honesty bar's Coppola vineyard and Mendoza wine selection. Great for education or just for finding something spectacular to drink. The sommelier can also advise on bottles worth taking home.
