El Ateneo Grand Splendid – Buenos Aires, Argentina
This former theater, which was built in 1919, was transformed into one of the world’s most spectacular bookstores in 2000.
A company called Grupo Ilhsa narrowly saved the opulent theater from demolition, and built it into a bookstore, which features bookshelves on both the lower level and balconies. It also kept the stage, which was previously used for theater, dance, and movie screenings. It still gets used for live events, but you can also sit on the stage with a book and enjoy a coffee from the bookstore café.
