Sex Hotels in Buenos Aires ?

[bigguyinpasadena]

Are there hotels by the gour in BA as there are in Rio?

[MscleLovr]

Yes, there are - quite a few, actually.

 

They seem to be known as "albergue transitorio" and because of a local law, same-sex couples are treated equally well.

 

I have not yet ventured inside one but there are two very smart-looking, such hotels alongside the Recoleta Cemetery ;-)

As mentioned, in Argentina they're known as "albergues transitorios" or "telos" (slang). Invest in a copy of Argentina's gay magazine "Imperio" at any newstand (especially along Av. Santa Fe). In the pull-out supplement is a gay guide that includes listings of gay-friendly "telos."

I passed by one on my first trip many years ago and wondered what it was. "Albergue transitorio" - what a lovely term. Believe it or not, it actually had a red light up front. But otherwise, it looked quite clean, proper, and discreet.

 

Many South Americans live with their parents well into adulthood. These "couples hotels" are an acknowledged way for straight and gay pairs to have short-term private space.
