How the Stage was Set HISTORY IN BRIEF 1920s: A group of wealthy Argentines endeavored to create South America's finest hotel. No expense would be spared - everything from marble columns to delicate etched-glass windows would be imported from Europe. Construction cost millions and took more than a decade, but the investors achieved their goal: a place fit for kings and queens, presidents and prime ministers, as well as an instant symbol that Buenos Aires had "arrived" as one of the world's great cities. 1932: The Alvear Palace Hotel opened its doors.
