Own Hotels Group Affiliates Fifth Branded Property In South America With Interval International’s Global Vacation Exchange Network
Interval International, a leading global provider of vacation services and an operating business of ILG (Nasdaq: ILG), announced the affiliation of OWN Nuevo Madero, a boutique condo-hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The property is part of the OWN Hotels Group, a company whose portfolio of resorts is characterized by personal service, upscale amenities, and cosmopolitan style.
“With its latest project slated to open during the first quarter of next year and the launch of four other OWN properties in Argentina and Uruguay in recent years, OWN Hotels Group has firmly established its brand,” said Marcos Agostini, Interval’s executive vice president of global sales and business development. “We are pleased to see our valued client continue to take advantage of the shared ownership opportunities in Latin America.”
The resort will have 36 spacious units with a fresh contemporary design and scenic views of Río de la Plata. Among the planned on-site amenities and services are a restaurant and bar, sky deck, full-service spa, health club, indoor swimming pool, outdoor terrace or balcony, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
“Since we entered the industry, our team has worked closely with Interval and now this resort joins the OWN properties already affiliated with the company,” said Pierre A. Metrailler, president of Arunam S.A., developer of the resort. “Interval has played an important role in our success and we look forward to continuing our association.”
OWN Nuevo Madero is located in the heart of Nuevo Madero, a very desirable neighborhood that has undergone a significant revitalization in the last decade, and is popular with locals and tourists due to its tree-lined open walkways, modern skyscrapers, and former industrial warehouses that have been converted into restaurants, bars, and clubs.
Other popular nearby attractions include Casa Rosada, the official residence of the president, and San Telmo, the bohemian district with its old-world architecture, antique stores, museums, and tango dancing. Guests can also visit the Reserva Ecológica, an 864-acre natural reserve; Fragata Sarmiento and Corbeta Uruguay, two century-old vessels converted into floating museums; and the pedestrian Puente de la Mujer, designed by Spanish engineer Santiago Calatrava.
