The studio in this 15 story building is located in the heart of Buenos Aires Micro Center on Corrientes and Maipu. Only four blocks south of
“9 de Julio” Blvd and one block from the famous Lavalle and Florida Streets with their exclusive shops and malls such as “Galleria Pasifico.” Both of these streets are restricted to foot traffic for leisurely shopping, watching tango dancers and eating in the trendy restaurants and cafes. In the mornings you can get your exercise by walking along the Puerto Madero a short eight blocks away.
This site is officially classified Historical by the government of Buenos Aires. The Architecture will impress you with its French and Roman influence. |

The entrance hall is about 98 feet long and 40 feet wide lined with 12 Roman marble columns stretching to a three story ceiling. For your convenience two restaurants and an internet/telephone cafe are located on the lobby level. This 15 story building has four elevators. One of the most famous Tango Dinner Shows, “MARABU,” is on the lower floor of this building. It was bought by dedicated American tango dancer Joe Fish, and is presently being renovated and awaiting reopening. During the 30s and 40s Marabu was the symbol of the golden era of tango. It was for Buenos Aires like the Moulin Rouge was for Paris. During those times the entrance was equal to $50 today. Here Troilo debuted his orchestra in 1936. Master musicians as Pugliese, D'Arienzo, Di Sarli, and others were regulars at Marabu. |
