I stayed at the Alvear for a work program for 8 days - service is flawless. The entire staff from front desk to butlers are amazing. I live in San Diego and tend to be somewhat casual - be prepared, dress codes are important. No shorts for dining (that includes breakfast), shirts/dresses with sleeves are requested. They don't say anything... more

What a great hotel, staff were excellent, rooms spacious and up to date with 'butler' service to attend to your every whim. Fruit and flowers replaced every day. Best breakfast we have ever had anywhere served in a stunning conservatory. also had great dinner at hotel restaurant La Bourgogne. more

The Alvear Palace was wonderful. The rooms, service, restaurant, staff were all wonderful.. more

We stayed for 3 nights. Our stay was OK, but given what we paid, it should have had the wow factor. Good things are: impressive entrance hall, excellent concierge, efficient check in and a very good location. But when we saw our room, expecting something spectacular, my heart sank.

Our stay at the Alvear Palace Hotel was the best hotel experience that we have ever had and Buenos Aires was wonderful. We stayed at the Alvear over the Christmas Holiday and recieved excellent service and an overall warm reception from every one on their staff. Our favorite things about the hotel were spending the early evening around 8pm in... more

Over the course of a week I stayed at the Alevar Palace, in Buenos Aires, twice. Twice my sleep was disrupted by a Mexican guest and a band he brought back to his room. On my 2nd visit they rolled in at 4am and stayed playing loud enough for me to hear it 2 floors away. I called and front... more

We enjoyed our 3-night stay at the Alvear Palace. It reminded us of the St. Regis in NYC -- elegant, formal, historic, pricey, and very well run. The location is great for site-seeing. The only quibbles: somewhat dated fitness/spa facilities, and uneven service in first-floor courtyard dining room. During the same visit to South America, we also stayed at the... more

My husband and I spent two nights at the Alvear Palace last September. We had been in BA for a week prior to our stay, renting an apartment in Palermo. This was our splurge weekend. It was wonderful! The porters knew our names by the time they had unloaded our luggage from the cab (I think they read them off... more

Before travelling we were not 100% sure if the Alvear would be the right hotel for us. We are in our mid 30s and were debating whether the Faena would be a better fit. But we are glad we stayed here. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Service is fab, not sure how they do it, but they called... more
