I have never stayed as a guest but I have attended some very nice events at the hotel. When I head they host a formal afternoon tea I was excited to check it out. I went with two friends for tea at 5pm on a Wednesday. Reservations were required. We were seated in a beautiful glassed in room. The service... More

This hotel is not only beautiful but provided excellent customer service. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to be of assistance in every respect, especially the concierge service, which exhibited true class. On the day of our departure from Argentina the hotel even let us use the spa at no charge so that we were... More

Checked in after a 31 day South American cruise. Compared to our 6 star rated ship, this experience was far superior. Instead of paying lip service to service, they provided it so smoothly that you almost didn't notice how good they were. From reception where they did everything to ensure we got to our room,early, to the superb buffet breakfast... More

The hotel is very elegant and the service is definitely 5 star. Yes we had a butler at our disposition who I called to run a bath for me and send my husbands shirts for complimentary pressing. The butler would not accept a tip and said it was not necessary. I can't say enough about the location. It is undoubtedly... More

I stayed for 1 night on Sept 28 2011. I can't say enough good things about the Alvear. From the moment you enter and see the ornate lobby, this hotel just exceeds expectations at every turn. It started at reception, where they patiently allowed me to practice my Spanish even though their english was perfect. My room on the 4th... More

The Alvear Palace is quite exceptional even amongst de-luxe hotels - their attention to detail is phenomenal. The staff are unbelievably attentive without being over fussy and they have a wonderful "can do " attitude. We have just enjoyed our 3rd stay there and we can't wait to return. More

This is the only hotel in South America that can compare with the great hotels of the world. Love this hotel - just ignore some of the staff's superior attitude! Reception desk needs their ears boxed. Breakfast could be better but they were very busy - truly great hotels overcome that sort of problem. Terrific location. More
