This hotel is way out of my league...but it was a business conference. I couldn't fault it, from the butler service, to the bar and everything inbetween. My room was a standout, with views over BA, and every luxury I could imagine. I especially loved the Hermes Body Lotion, and the frsh fruit selection brought to my room each day.... More

Gorgeous lobby and dining rooms with a great location in Recoleta. Easy walking to dining, art fair and cemetery. Room was clean but had a definite moldy smell. Never saw our "personal butler" over the five days we stayed. Had just visited a "sister" property, Llao Llao which was superb with updated rooms and consistently great service. Worth a visit...

I had a week staying at this hotel and could not say a bad word about it - a classic old world boutique hotel. Yes its expensive but its worth it. It's not overly big which gives it a personal feel. The staff are very professional and friendly, including a butler for every floor. There is a great gym. They... More

We must have been at Alvear (for brunch) three or four times. Every time, it was the perfection: the setting is superb, the service so good you don't even notice. The food was delicious as was the wine list. What a great place! We didn't stay at this hotel - unfortunately. More

This is an ultra classy place but a little tired. Great service ethic and good gym. Only has a small indoor pool which surprised and dissapointed me given BA's sunny climate. Excllent central location with fune surrounding restaurants. More

The hotel is incredible, there are butlers in every floor that are amazing, almost begging to help you in anything. The rooms are great and full of little special details like Hermes soap and shampoo or flowers changed everyday. The food is also great, the sunday brunch is fantastic and a tourist attraction, people not staying in the hotel actually... More

My wife and I visited principally as part of a conference and while we would fully support all of the very positive comments made which I will not repeat because they are true I will make a couple of realistic and cautionary comments. If you attend when there is a conference on (and maybe this is all the time) expect... More
