Hotel Bauen is a worker-run[1] hotel in Buenos Aires,[2] the capital and largest city in Argentina. According to receptionist Luisa Casanova, "It is more than just a hotel. Political groups and unions meet here during the week; people from the provinces arriving in Buenos Aires for their first time know to come here to find job opportunities. Bauen influences other social movements in a positive way."[1] Hotel Bauen is often considered to be an example about how workers can form labour-orientated kinds of social responsibility in opposition to the capitalist system.[2]
Hotel Bauen was established in 1978 by the Iurcovich family[2] on loan from the then military dictatorship government[1] and was well-known as a meeting venue for right-wing politicians. But the Iurcovich family did not pay back the loan and the hotel was sold to a Chilean company named Solari SA in 1997 which also did not pay the money. The owners abandoned the hotel by 2001 which left approximately 250 people unemployed.[2]
