The Tigre Hotel was an Argentine hotel that stood on the banks of the Luján River, in Paseo Victorica, Tigre, 28 km (17 mi) north of Buenos Aires city. The hotel's peak was during late XIX century and early XX century, when Tigre was one of the places chosen by the upper classes to spend their holidays.
The hotel had also the first casino in the country, but a law that forbidden gambling in Argentina promulgated in 1933 caused the building was closed, and finally demolished in 1940.
