Why we recommend it
The Alvear Palace Hotel is the classic grand hotel of Buenos Aires. It stands on Avenida Alvear, the elegant avenue that runs through Recoleta, and it describes itself as a benchmark of luxury hospitality. It is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World and the flagship of the Alvear Hotels group, which also includes the Alvear Art Hotel, the Alvear Icon Hotel and Residences, and the Llao Llao Hotel.
The hotel has 207 rooms and suites decorated in what it calls a modern French style. On the tenth and eleventh floors, a newer set of contemporary suites offers a different, more modern look for guests who prefer it. Whichever you choose, this is a hotel for travellers who value traditional service, formal public rooms and a sense of occasion.
Food and drink are spread across several spaces. L'Orangerie, with its winter garden, serves the breakfast buffet, the Lobby Bar is the place for a coffee or an aperitif, and the Alvear Grill has a new cocktail bar. At the top of the building, the Alvear Roof Bar is the place for an evening drink. The heated swimming pool is on the eleventh floor, alongside a spa and fitness centre, which makes the hotel a comfortable base in the cooler months as well as in summer.
The Alvear is also one of the city's main venues for events, with ten salons that hold from 10 to 400 people, so you may find weddings or conferences taking place during your stay. The location is excellent for sightseeing on foot: Recoleta Cemetery, the cafés around it, including La Biela, and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes are all in the same district.
It suits couples, older travellers and anyone celebrating a special occasion who wants classic luxury in an elegant setting. It sits at the top of the city's price range. Book directly through the hotel's website, by phone or by email to the reservations team, and ask about room categories if you have a preference between the traditional rooms and the contemporary suites.
The hotel is at Avenida Alvear 1891. The Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt is on the same avenue at number 1661, and the two-Michelin-star restaurant Aramburu is also in Recoleta for a special dinner.
