Alvear Icon Hotel & Residences

Buenos Aires, which is nicknamed the Paris of South America for its beautiful streetscapes, is a port city that faces the mouth of Río de la Plata river. Alvear Icon Hotel & Residences stands on the riverbank where residents of the city go back and forth.
Fifteen elevators, including some high-speed models that travel at 240 meters per minute, operate there, along with two escalators. The elevators feature 3.3-meter-tall transom panels extending to the ceiling. The luxurious designs of the elevator boarding areas and cars harmonize with the ambiance of the hotel interior.
