Since 1972, the Romina Art Hotel has been part of the history of Villa Gesell. Born as a family business, today it combines hospitality, art and the sea in an environment where each space tells a story: from the ancient Aquarium and the beginnings of the city, to the works of Martín Villalba and the creative spirit that distinguishes it.
In the summer of 1972, a family of Spanish and Italian origin inaugurated the Hotel Romina in the city of Villa Gesell. The name was chosen in honor of his daughter, without imagining that half a century later she would be the one who would keep the essence of the place alive.
A pioneer in the southern area, the hotel was built alongside the historic Aquarium —property of Roberto Gesell, son of the founder of the city— and the old bus terminal (Avenida 3 and Paseo 140), today converted into a Cultural Center and crafts promenade. Both buildings responded to the vision of Don Carlos Idaho Gesellwhich promoted the development of that area when construction was concentrated only in the center and the north.
