House of Jasmines
Ruta Nacional 51, KM 6, La Merced Chica, Salta, Argentina
14 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Quiet
One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay
There’s a certain old-world charm to Argentina’s northwest, particularly in and around Salta. But while the town’s colonial architecture and folkloric street musicians draw a steady stream of visitors, the region’s true mystique is found outside the city limits, in the dramatic foothills of the Andes, where rocky cliffs are the color of red clay and the sky is perpetually blue. This is where the House of Jasmines, an estancia with just 14 rooms, welcomes guests looking for a rural escape away from the buzz of city life.
It’s a traditional estancia, yes, but with a sophisticated twist: the grounds contain a large spa with a Turkish bath, for example, and the linens are both hand-embroidered and 400-thread. The interiors of the hundred-year-old posada have been restored and redone with a light, contemporary touch — think pared-down, cozy chic decor, and a palette of crisp white, cream, beige, and chocolate — but throughout the hotel you’ll notice details that tip their hats to rustic romance, such as the original tile floors and wooden shutters. Large suites offer amply sized living areas and private entrances to the great outdoors; standard rooms feature canopied king-sized beds.
But this isn’t the kind of place where you want to hide away in your room. Both the living room, enlivened with indigenous fabrics and heated by a crackling fireplace, and the airy white “winter garden” are inviting locales where you could spend an entire afternoon with a book and a glass of wine. The House of Jasmines is a peaceful and refined retreat where time practically stands still, and while the kitchen resembles that of any ranch, with homemade bread always baking in the oven and traditional, sit-down meals. Just don’t sleep through lunch — an elaborate Argentine asado (barbecue), especially when served al fresco in the garden, is a culinary experience that you won’t soon forget.
How to get there: House of Jasmines is located about 6 kilometers from Salta Airport. The hotel can arrange transfers, although rates may vary due to fluctuations in the Argentine peso and are available upon request.
