Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires Presents Its New Hydroponic Garden

Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires continues to reaffirm its commitment to sustainability and culinary excellence with the launch of its new hydroponic garden, located on the terrace of the recently restored La Mansión Álzaga Unzué.

This initiative is part of the hotel’s comprehensive sustainability program, recognized with the “Hoteles Más Verdes” Gold certification — the highest distinction granted to properties committed to responsible environmental management.

The hydroponic garden, installed on the terrace of one of Buenos Aires’ most iconic mansions, will supply the hotel’s restaurants — Elena, Nuestro Secreto, and Pony Line Bar — and its events area with fresh, natural, and sustainably grown produce.

Among the cultivated species are carrots, beets, Swiss chard, purple lettuce, kale, arugula, mint, parsley, oregano, rosemary, basil, cilantro, and chives — all specially selected by the hotel’s chefs and bartenders for use in seasonal dishes, cocktails, and other preparations.

“Each product was chosen according to the needs of our kitchens and bars. We use every ingredient from the garden, and we have a rainwater collection system that allows us to reuse nutrients and optimize consumption,” explains Juan Gaffuri, Executive Chef at Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires.

This initiative is part of the hotel’s broader sustainability strategy, which includes:

• Elimination of single-use plastics
• Recycling and composting of organic waste
• Implementation of smart bins to measure and analyze waste generation
• Use of clean energy (50 percent of total consumption)
• Seasonal, local, vegetarian, and vegan menu options
• Food donations to Banco de Alimentos and Hogar Alberti at El Socorro Church
• Eco-certified and regionally sourced suppliers

With this new hydroponic garden, Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires reaffirms its leadership in luxury hospitality with an environmental conscience, blending history, innovation, and sustainability into every guest experience.
