It is a cosmopolitan, modern city, but at the same time, it keeps all the flavor of the Colonial era. You can stroll along quiet Mendoza streets, flanked by lines of huge trees that give Mendoza that wild look. At night it is possible to have a drink at any of the hundreds of small quiet places that populate downtown and then go back to the Executive Hotel. Mendoza has a proposal for every taste.

Mendoza is a province that enchants tourists from Argentina and from the whole world. The capital city has many fine hotels, like the Executive Hotel, close to the most interesting areas in town. In winter, the landscape acquires those brown and golden tones that contrast with the white ever-snowed peaks of the Andean chain. Thus, snow becomes the main player of this symphony.
