The minute you step inside the Barrio Latino you know it is a place for love and passion, vibe set by the lavish interior design abundant in incendiary red and orange. A former furniture warehouse built by Gustave Eiffel in the 19th century, the Barrio Latino is pulsating in the rhythms of salsa and samba.

The location is 4 storeys high with bars and dancefloors on the first and third floor and a restaurant at the second floor. The fourth floor is reserved for VIPs that have a special access key. The floors are connected by stairs with wrought-iron railings designed also by Gustave Eiffel and on the top floor you can find a Che Guevara mosaic. The action begins around midnight when the dancefloors become packed with beautiful women in sexy dresses winding their bodies to the music.

The restaurant serves a South American menu of Argentinian steaks, Brazilian feijoada and Mexican chili. At the cocktail bars caipirinhas, Cuba libres, rum punches, tequilas and Mojito cocktails (their signature drink) flow and can be accompanied by guacamole or tortillas. It's more fun though to buy tapas from glass-covered carts that staff members roll around the floors.
