History of the Hotel
With more than seven decades of life, the water tower of L’Auberge majestically emerges from in between the pine trees as a silent witness of the evolution of a place that is both classic and traditional. The hotel and tea house are very well recognized by high level tourism.
The suites and the rest of the cozy rooms, some located inside the tower with breathtaking views, are the signature of L’Auberge, and make of this beautiful and unique place the trademark of the Parque del Golf neighborhood.
The original project was signed by architect Arturo Dubourg, and architect Guillermo Rodríguez Reborati was responsible for its construction.
The first extension, which included rooms inside the tower, took place in 1981 and was carried on by architect Jorge Varela López. In 1994, another major extension had Architect Eduardo Álvarez in charge. 12 new rooms, the garden extension, a pool and its restaurant were added to the property.
The famous tea room, the elegant decoration of the rooms and common areas, a conference room with the most sophisticated equipment, and the home-style gastronomy allow us to offer our guests an exclusive stay where personal service makes a great difference.
