Deptos Mendoza

Frommer's Review

Recently built by a transplanted Chilean architect, this sleek new building of steel and brick offers plenty of great value. ("Depto" is short for departamento, which is Spanish for "apartment.") Rent a funky studio and slip into a hip and urban way of life; it seems that easy here. On the top floor of this downtown building is the reception desk, which also acts as a lively gallery and a great hang-out spot for those interested in art and design. The apartments are decorated with local art, with a focus on function and lighting. Ceramic tiles, aluminum, concrete, and wood dominate the look. Bathrooms are quite small, with stand-up showers only. Apartment no. 9 is the largest, with a big, sunny terrace, but the street below is quite noisy at night. Two blocks away, another loft sleeps four and has a huge terrace and grill. If you're coming with a group of friends and you love design, this is a great choice. Parking is available nearby for an extra fee of $8 (£4.40)per day.
