Rojo Tango

The basics

Guests can attend the show or opt to couple it with a pre-show dinner, where you’ll dine in style in Hotel Faena’s dramatic red velvet and gold cabaret theater. The dazzling tango performances—which take you on a journey from the roots of tango to the modern-day—are equally impressive, including an extensive repertoire of jazz and classical tango by legendary Argentine composer Ástor Piazzolla. It’s a luxury experience from start to finish, with exquisite costumes, a tango quintet performing live, and a wine list featuring top quality Malbecs and choice vintage wines.

Things to know before you go

• Book a show with included hotel pickup and drop-off for a hassle-free night out.
• Tango shows last approximately 1.5 hours, while dinner shows take just over 2-hours.
• The dress code at Rojo Tango tends to be formal (such as a jacket and tie, or dress).

How to get there

Rojo Tango is inside the Hotel Faena in the Puerto Madero district of Buenos Aires. The nearest metro stop is Plaza de Mayo, a short walk across the Rio Darsena Sur. Many dinner show packages include round-trip transportation.

When to get there

The show is staged once per evening, with dinner starting about 1.5 hours before the tango show. It’s a good idea to arrive early, so you’ll have enough time to take in the beautiful hotel grounds and find your seat. Shows often sell out, especially on weekends.
