From Fantasy Friday polo packages in Palm Beach last week, we’re going straight to the home of polo today: Argentina. Here, the Four Seasons Buenos Aires is going through a little freshening up, to the tune of $40 million no less.

Have you ever been standing in the middle of a sun-drenched field or garden and just wished you could plop a bed right there in the middle of it all and take a nap?
