Luxury Retreats acquires Buenos Aires-based Apartments BA to offer luxury rentals in Argentina

MONTREAL, July 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Luxury Retreats, one of the world's leading elite villa vacation rental companies (http://www.luxuryretreats.com), has acquired the Buenos Aires-based outfit Apartments BA to begin offering high-end apartments for rent and for sale in the South American capital.

With an established clientele and brand name in the industry, Apartments BA will continue to serve discerning travelers seeking an urban headquarters in the cosmopolitan city.

The strength of Apartments BA (http://www.apartmentsba.com) lies in its dual "citizenship," said Ben Tuff, General Manager of Apartments BA. While the company is locally managed, the brand is both owned and operated in North America by experienced villa flagship Luxury Retreats.

"Our guests and sales clients appreciate dealing with the standards and procedures of a North American run company, without sacrificing the hands-on guidance and knowledge that only a local expert can provide," said Tuff. "Apartments BA offers the best of both worlds," he said, noting that many of his Argentinean staff members are put through the same training as the North American headquarters.

Apartments BA is part of the Better Business Bureau and stresses quality of product over quantity in selecting the luxury apartments that will become part of its rental collection. Units of varying sizes are available in all the top neighborhoods, including Recoleta, Palermo Soho, Barrio Norte and San Telmo.

The affordable destination is made even more attractive by frequent rental promotions such as  "Stay for 7 nights, pay for 6," and is growing in popularity with families, in addition to couples and groups of friends.

Luxury Retreats is the world's largest specialist in luxury villa rentals, offering almost 2,000 elite properties in over 70 worldwide destinations. Founded in 1999, the company has grown into a respected leader in the industry, with over 100 employees in its Montreal headquarters and satellite offices in Hawaii, the Caribbean and Argentina.
