MANSION`S HISTORY
The argentine bourgeoisie high society of the early 1900's, accustomed to the refinements of the life in Europe, developed the eclecticism, turning away from the traditional Spanish colonial architectural style, with spectacular fronts and small inside patios and an esthetically admirable Art Nouveaux decoration.

The construction of the building today known as Mansion Dandi Royal began in those days. The Obras Sanitarias blueprints are dated 1913, when the water system was still in British hands. The manufacturing date stamped on the door locks and handles is 1889, from which we can assume that the idea to build the Mansion greatly preceded its actual construction.

Originally built by engineer Bianchi, based on the design by architect Cristophersen, the Mansion is organized around two inside patios with two floors facing the front and four facing the back. The first floor occupied by the Dandi Royal salon, up the marble stairwell, the reception opens and the remaining three hold the bedrooms and amenities such as swimming pool, solarium, and more.

The facade stands out for its architectural iconicity, where the God Bacchus of exacerbated Italianizing ornamentation dominates the scene, crowned by a half point arch framed by two florid vases, which reestablish its formal balance.

In the year 2000 Dandi Tango Academy began negotiations to acquire this beautiful residence in order to fulfill our director's, Héctor Villalba, dream of creating something never seen in lodging and Tango teaching for foreign and argentine Tango lovers. With the help of his dear friend Osvaldo Donato, a renowned argentine architect, the restoration (which took almost two years) began. The world famous painter, Abel Jorge Magnani participated in the decoration of this magnificent house, embellishing all of its rooms and common spaces with amazing period murals.

That is how Mansion Dandi Royal - Tango Residential Academy was born, the very first of its kind, where you can live 24 hours a day in a warm, comfortable, sophisticated and original argentine Tango atmosphere.
