Why we recommend it
Hotel Clásico is a stylish four-star hotel in Palermo Hollywood. It has 32 rooms on four floors, which gives it the personal feel of a boutique hotel while offering the services of a larger property, including a reception staffed 24 hours a day.
The design was shaped by Adolfo Suaya. Expect solid wood furniture, restored objects, marble tables and stained-glass panels framing the front of the building. The materials, wood, marble and coloured glass, are the same ones you will see in historic cafés such as Café Tortoni or Las Violetas, which makes the name apt.
The hotel's restaurant is the Clásico Buffet. Breakfast is served as a buffet every morning, or in your room if you prefer, which is useful if you want a slow start before a day of sightseeing. The rest of the day you are well placed to explore the restaurants and bars of Palermo on foot.
The location is one of the main reasons to stay. The hotel says it is about 700 metres from Plaza Serrano, in Palermo Soho, and about 3.7 kilometres from Recoleta Cemetery, so you can walk to many of Palermo's restaurants and take a short taxi ride to Recoleta. The hotel also gives the distance to Barrio Chino, the city's small Chinatown, as about 3.2 kilometres. Niceto Club is also in Palermo Hollywood if you want live music, and Bebop Club and Tres Monos are elsewhere in Palermo for jazz and cocktails.
The hotel suits couples, solo travellers and anyone who wants a comfortable, characterful base in Palermo at a mid-range price. Book through the website or by email to the reservations team. The hotel warns that it never contacts guests by WhatsApp to confirm bookings or request payments, and that official communication is by email only, a useful safeguard against booking scams.
Hotel Clásico is at Costa Rica 5480. Guests have rated it highly, with the hotel's website showing an average score of 9 out of 10 and every reviewer recommending it, and it is a sound choice for visitors who want the convenience of a four-star hotel without the formality of the grand hotels of Recoleta.
