Olivos

When choosing a hotel in Olivos, it is worth first considering the area’s main attractions: the Quinta Presidencial combines a clearly dated history with architecture facing the river; there is also sailing history and cultural attractions along municipal routes.

History and Architecture of the Quinta Presidencial

The Quinta Presidencial de Olivos was donated to the national government in 1918 to serve as a summer residence for future presidents. The rear, which faces the river, has tiered viewpoints as well as balconies, terraces, and esplanades. When considering the Quinta, you can therefore take into account both its historical purpose and the design of its river-facing side. Its history and architectural features offer different points of interest for a stay focused on political history or architecture.

Sailing History and Municipal Sports Facilities

Sailing is also part of Olivos’s history: the Club Náutico Olivos established it as the club’s main activity. A specific municipal sports program takes place at Campo N° 1, Dorrego 2443 in Olivos. The sports facility run by the Secretaría de Deportes of the municipality of Vicente López offers free sports programs to residents of the municipality. Membership is required to take part; some programs are organized through an appointment system or an app. If you plan to participate, check schedules and registration in advance, as these conditions may change.
