This is a wonderful hotel, located in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The hotel is beautiful. We stayed in an Executive Suite which was gorgeous; the room was grand with so much room. The hotel staff is also lovely, professional and willing to help with suggestions for dining, sightseeing and anything else you may need. All is all a pleasant stay. We will stay here again the next time we are in Buenos Aires.

Charming historic hotel
I loved this little historic hotel on a quiet street in a safe neighborhood walking distance to many sites. The room was enormous and clean. The staff was lovely and very helpful with arranging transportation and making suggestions. I also really appreciated nice touches like leaving bon bons on our sitting area table at night!

Great location; friendly staff. They would like to improve a lot internet and some improvement with other facilities like the gym, air conditioned, room service, parking and other minor; although weather at Buenos Aires was very nice, our room was hot all the time in despite of having the AC on all the time; aside from that it is a great place to stay while a business trip

Understated elegance. Stayed in an Executive King room. Great, quiet location in the heart of the Recoleta. Incredible value for the cost of the stay. Front desk and restaurant staff are first rate. Some finishes and amenities are showing their age, but overall the standard is extremely high. Don't miss the breakfast. This property is highly recommended.
