The location, right on Recoleta, is perfect. It's a very luxurious traditional hotel. If you like to live like in the grand old times, this is the place to stay in Buenos Aires. I was lucky to be upgraded to a suite, and loved it. The Hermes toiletries are excellent - enough of Molton Brown! The service is good, but... More

Service is simply perfect: check in and check out as quick as you may imagine, and every floor has a professional (and friendly too)... More

In Buenos Aires there are a lot of modern 5 star hotels but this one is special. As soon as you enter the lobby you can feel the difference. Its carpets, pictures, furniture. It is like being in an old palace. The staff is very kind and they speak good English. In addition it is very near Recoleta cemetry, where... More

Amazing hotel. So lavish in style (a lot of gold) but not stuffy by nature. Fantastic service from every staff member you come across. From the waiter serving the juice at breakfast, to the butler, to the concierge. All were very helpful, even tried to help us in English. The breakfast buffet is one of the best I have ever... More

This place is an experience from the minute that you hit the lobby. Palatial is probably selling this hotel short. It is in a great location, walking distance to Florida St (where you can shop your hearts content) Recoleta is at the end of the street, as is a great park that has a fabulous Sunday market. At the end... More

I stayed at the Alvear Palace for two nights in the beginning of April. Wow, what a wonderful hotel. We arrived via taxi from the airport. The bellman was busy assisting other guests at the time. However, quickly made a point of acknowledging our presence. Check in was fast and the front desk agent was very knowledgeable about the property... More

I cannot say enough great things about the Alvear Palace. We stayed there for 5 days (actually 2 nights stays twice and then one one night stay) and enjoyed every minute.
