Buenos Aires hides secret corners, and many of its ancient doors still guard stories waiting to be told. Within that world of endless mysteries, there is now a secret, private club in Buenos Aires that reveals itself at night and is hidden in a 19th-century mansion that has been renovated and reopened. Discover El Club de la Serpiente at Mansión Mihura. The new spot in Recoleta you didn’t know you needed.
This is the new 1950s-style private club in Buenos Aires, open until dawn and hidden in a 19th-century mansion
In Buenos Aires, there are still places that seem to be from another era and that resurface with a majestic air and modern touches that spark curiosity. That is exactly what is happening with Mansión Mihura, a historic mansion in Recoleta that has reopened its doors with a concept that blends heritage architecture, mystery, and nightlife.
Mansión Mihura is one of the handful of mansions and palaces in Buenos Aires that have stood the test of time and still allow us to imagine the Buenos Aires of the late 19th century. Mansión Mihura features a French academic style that you’ll recognize in its elegant facades, wrought-iron balconies, and especially in its halls that flow seamlessly together, like the body of a snake.
In this 19th-century mansion in Recoleta, a private club has opened its doors, drawing you in with its red, velvety walls to its nights of live music and drinks. Welcome to The Serpent Club.
The Serpent Club: the place you wouldn’t believe was there
The Serpent Club has something that’s becoming rare: intimacy. Few tables, dim lighting, and an all-red aesthetic reminiscent of the private clubs of the 1950s. Here, there are no crowds or massive dance floors, but rather a curated experience featuring signature cocktails, vinyl records, and DJs. The space is designed to feel exclusive, almost as if you’ve discovered a place not everyone can access.
The Serpent Club is just one of the spaces in this mansion. Right next door, as a prelude to your night, is the bar, where you decide whether to turn right and immerse yourself in the red-light world of The Serpent Club, or left to dine at The Dinner, one of its restaurants. In fact, its sky-blue walls and cuisine make you feel like you’re in heaven, which makes your decision on which way to go from the bar more crucial than it seems.
If you want to experience the night or the day almost as if you were outdoors, this mansion offers you yet another space: its Atrium restaurant, a restaurant with immense, glass-covered ceilings and exquisite dishes.
Mansión Mihura is a new way to continue discovering Buenos Aires.
