Palermo Hollywood
The nightlife and entertainment hub of Buenos Aires, packed with bars, clubs, and TV production studios. More lively and edgy than Soho, with slightly lower rents and a younger crowd.
Living in Palermo Hollywood
Palermo Hollywood earned its name from the TV and film production studios that set up shop here in the early 2000s. Today it's evolved into Buenos Aires' premier nightlife district, with bars and restaurants lining streets like Honduras, Gorriti, and Fitz Roy. The energy is palpable on Thursday through Saturday nights, when the area transforms into one giant party.
During the day, it's noticeably calmer than Soho, with a more relaxed, residential feel on the quieter side streets. The food scene is excellent — you'll find everything from craft breweries to high-end cocktail bars to late-night pizza spots. Rents are slightly lower than Palermo Soho, making it attractive for younger expats who want to be close to the action.
The main trade-off is noise — if your apartment faces a main street, expect weekend noise until 4-5 AM. Side streets are much quieter. The Subte D line (Ministro Carranza station) provides decent connectivity, though many residents rely on taxis and Uber.

What expats say about palermo hollywood
“The nightlife here is unmatched. Every weekend there's something happening. Just make sure your apartment faces away from the street or bring earplugs. Learned that the hard way!”
