The Hotel Edén, established by a German hotelier in 1897, was a luxurious accommodation that attracted many renowned personalities, such as Argentine presidents, actors, and even Albert Einstein, to the isolated towns in the Punilla Valley of the Sierras.

Its grand Carrara marble stairs and opulent interiors gave life to the entire area, transforming it into a popular tourist destination during the early 20th century.

Regrettably, the hotel's legacy was tainted by the patronage of Nazi officials in the years leading up to World War II. When Argentina declared war against Germany in 1945, the Edén Hotel was seized by the government due to its links with the enemy and utilized as a diplomatic residence throughout the war.

Despite several attempts to restore the hotel to its former glory after the war, none were successful. In 1965, the hotel closed its doors and remained abandoned and deteriorating for many years. However, the crumbling structure was recognized as a Historical Monument in 1988, which provided the necessary funding to transform the hotel into a museum and reopen this historical architectural wonder.
