ARThe article recounts the history of the Hotel Mar del Sud, a short-lived 19th-century resort built in 1889 in the Argentine coastal town of Mar del Sud. The hotel, which was named after the town, served as the first tourist landmark in the southeast Atlantic region of Buenos Aires province, marking the presence of Argentina’s aristocracy beyond Mar del Plata.

The discovery highlights the historical and cultural importance of this lost architectural relic.
