BAS Hacker House (Accommodation)
Nestled in the heart of Palermo Soho, the BAS Hack House is where builders, creators, and dreamers come together under one roof.
Address: Nicaragua 4781, C1414 Cdad. Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina
It’s still under renovation right now, so we’ll have more updates as we get closer to the check-in date.
The RTBA Hacker House is not just accommodation — it’s a community hub where builders live, collaborate, and turn ideas into real-world projects.
Located in Palermo Soho, the heart of Buenos Aires, this area is filled with trendy cafés, restaurants, and co-working spaces. During the day, builders focus on their projects, while in the evenings, spontaneous discussions and collaborations naturally unfold.
RTBA builders will strategize together, create content, and prepare for the next stage — all within this shared space.
Check-in details, house rules, and operational announcements will be provided via the Discord channel, so please make sure to check it before departure.
This isn’t just accommodation. It’s a living lab for innovation, community, and global connection.
