The Casa Rosada (Pink House) is the seat of the Government and Presidential Palace. It has a prestigious Museum showcasing presidential bands and sticks, furniture used by Argentine Presidents, clothing and articles of personal use, medals, paintings and sculptures, private carriages.

In addition, among other points of interest we find:

-The Honor Guard, consisting of Grenadiers guarding the Government House.
-The Honor Patio, with palm trees and a beautiful French fountain
-Gallery of Busts, exhibiting busts of some Argentina Persidents. A gallery of great artistic value.
-South Hall, where informal meetings, meals, minor ceremonies take place and where the press is recieved.
-North Hall, or Hall of the Agreements, Victorian style, for meetings of the Cabinet.
-White Hall, the most important and prominent one. Where the activities of greatest importance for the country and worldwide are performed.

You can visit the Government House and the Museum every day from 10 to 18 hours, except on Wednesdays and Saturdays during which they remain closed. The Casa Rosada is the greatest witness of the history of the country, that is why Rochester Hotel considers it is an activity that you should include on your list of things to do in Buenos Aires.
