Co-Founded Entre Cielos, Mendoza · Latin America’s first Hammam Hotel · Michelin Guide · Boutique Hospitality Builder

Four Swiss friends build a hotel in Argentina. No business plan with an exit strategy. No hotel experience. Just the conviction: if we don’t do this now, we’ll regret it later. What followed: fights with architects over every line. Bureaucracy that felt like a labyrinth. And the painful realization that our “Swiss efficiency” was worth nothing in Argentina, at first.

I share the full story – mistakes included – in the article below. 👇
