Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Alvear Palace Hotel in Recoleta remains one of the city’s most elegant and beautiful hotels, with a rooftop bar that has tremendous panoramic views of Buenos Aires. Nonguests should still visit the bar and order the Malbec Sour, a refreshing cocktail that might remind you of a strong Lambrusco.”

 

Forbes review:

“Alvear Palace Hotel is the gilded grand dame of the ritzy Recoleta district in Buenos Aires. Long a favorite of Argentine high society, the neoclassical 1932 building exudes opulence inside and out, from the ornate lobby to the white-gloved bilingual butlers.”

Frommers review:

“The opulent, sedate, and tony belle of the Buenos Aires ball, this hotel will either please you to bits or make you run away in panic from its gilded decadence. Top-hatted bellmen usher you into a golden lobby where a white-gloved butler takes over and attends to your requests.”

Fodors review:

“The standard-bearer for upscale sophistication since 1932, the Alvear Palace is undoubtedly the shining star of the city’s hotel scene: scores of dignitaries, celebrities, and VIPs have passed through its doors over the years, and they keep coming back for the world-class service and refined atmosphere.”

Old-style glam! Loved it.

Fabulous hotel reminded me of the Ritz in London. Old-style glamour! Very attentive and friendly staff. The beds were so comfy. The location was great.

A little tired in places but it wouldn't stop me from returning.

It's is a good place to stay.

The room was very nice, also I liked fruits were put in the room. Breakfast was good in very nice place. In general the building is very beautiful.

The thing I didn't like - the stain on the head of the bed. And baby's bed I asked was dirty and shabby itself (I mean that sheets very clean and ok).

Excellent service and installations, bed was amazingly comfortable to sleep in

I got upgraded from Junior Suite to a Deluxe Suite and loved it :) I had a great time with my partner and were able to explore the f&b offerings within the hotel

timing for the spa and pool being closed at 6pm makes it a bit difficult to take advantage of those services, would’ve loved to use the spa but we chose to do the afternoon tea service which ended at the time the spa was already closed.
