Glu Boutique Hotel Palermo Soho, Buenos Aires
In the fashionable Palermo Soho neighborhood, The Glu Boutique Hotel is a design-forward gem built in 2008. It serves as an intimate escape from the city’s hustle, containing just 11 hyper-spacious suites spread across three floors.
The hotel stands out for its clever blend of indoor comfort and outdoor freshness. Every single suite opens up to its own private furnished balcony or terrace through massive floor-to-ceiling windows, filtering in beautiful natural light while keeping the lively street energy at just the right distance.
Instead of a cramped indoor lobby lounge, the structural highlight here is a peaceful, open-air central courtyard. It provides a rare patch of quiet greenery where you can sip an afternoon coffee or local Malbec right in the middle of one of the trendiest districts in Buenos Aires.
To make things even more tailored, the hotel skips the traditional hectic buffet line by offering a high-end à la carte breakfast served directly to your room. It perfectly matches the low-profile, luxury-apartment feel that the architects intended.
Expert reviews
“Despite the slightly off-putting name, the Glu is a charmer: all the room are suites with comfy king-size beds, and the staff members are some of the friendliest and most helpful in the entire city.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Buenos Aires.
“Run with great attention to detail by the Glusman Family, this boutique hotel has 11 spacious rooms, all stylishly minimalist and equipped with low-slung furnishings, bright wooden floors, and small bar areas.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Buenos Aires.

An ok stay for 2 nights
Small property. Ok room. Some refurb would make it much better
Breakfast was very poor. Room needs some touch ups, some of the fitting and furniture look and feel cheap.

Wonderful hotel....very kind staff...well located...
Glu Suite was very nice...large room with large terrace. Staff was excellent!! Breakfast in the morning was also very good! Only 3 blocks walk to Plaza Serrano...
possibly the only negative was that it did not have a pool....but it had a rooftop deck...so not much of a negative there....

Wish I could have stayed longer.
Perfect check in, great size Luxe room with huge he comfortable bed, spotlessly clean, lovely breakfast and Natalia was so good about letting gnus have an extra hour in our room. Natalia and her colleagues were so friendly professional and helpful. I would definitely stay in this hotel again, it was by far my favourite hotel for all our travels throughout South America.

Loved it! Very comfortable, wonderful staff, great location. Would stay there again
The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were very attentive and friendly, the location very walkable
Liked everything about the property. Being a boutique hotel the bathroom was a little small, particularly the sink. Very minor inconvenience

Great location and staff.
The property is in a wonderful location just blocks from Plaza Serrano. Many restaurants and shopping near by. The staff was amazing
The A/C unit was not very powerful and didn’t cool the room well. The bathroom was always hot because of the under powered A/C unit.

Wonderful place to stay
What a wonderful place!! This room was fantastic being modern, clean and a full terrace to enjoy the views. The staff was always available and friendly. Our Spanish was not very good but all the staff knew English which was very helpful. The breakfast each morning was delicious and plenty to get us through the morning. The location was great being around shops, restaurants and night life. Will no doubt stay here again on our next adventure to Buenos Aires

OK, but wouldn’t go back.
Pretty good location, staff was very kind and tried to be helpful. Spacious room. They had umbrellas for a rainy day.
The WiFi was terrible. My door knob kept getting stuck and I had to go to the desk to have them help me open the door. There were strange noises coming from the kitchen area at night that kept me awake / woke me up. The shower pressure was good but the half glass door meant water got everywhere.
Overall just not a great experience and felt like it was overpriced. It’s a very quiet hotel.

We loved our stay and would gladly return next time we are in Buenos Aires!
I like the location in Palermo, the helpful staff (especially Natalia) and I loved our room 301!
My only small complaint (very small) is the coffee
you serve is lousy! Very bitter and served in small pots that went cold quickly. But that is a small thing….we otherwise loved the Glu hotel!🙂
The coffee!

Loved it, Location, service and staff attendance. Would definitgely stay again.
Breakfast was made to order and fresh and delicious.
the only small issue was that the hairdryer in the room had a broken nozzle which meant it wouldn't stay attached when I was using it.

Charming and Friendly Boutique Hotel located in a great area of Buenos Aires.
The customer service was excellent. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. I really liked the coffee service in the lobby. Nice touch. Breakfast was also excellent. This is a small hotel with a limited number of rooms, which are very spacious and comfortable. You also really feel the personal attention from the staff due to the size of the hotel
The rooms are little dated and need to be refreshed with new decor, etc. WiFi was a bit touch and go as well. I had to jump from different hubs. I would recommend the hotel replace their WiFi with a Mesh system.

Great value and great experience
Great attentive staff that were amazing. From helping arrange tours to remembering your breakfast order in the morning.
The plugs in the room could be upgraded as my international plug wouldn't stay in the old plugs in the room.

Fantastic hotel. We would stay here again.
We were very impressed with the attentiveness of all the staff. They were very friendly and willing to help. A really good value for the money.
the shower's half -glass door does not fully prevent the water from spilling over onto the floor
