My wife and I recently spent five nights in Buenos Aires. After checking the reviews here, we decided on Tailor Made Hotel. It was probably the best decision we could have made, and the hotel was exactly what we were expecting, making our trip to Buenos Aires much more fun than it might have been otherwise. Much of what makes Tailor Made Hotel so great is its small size: it only has five rooms and is staffed by what appeared to be four or five people, all of whom we got to know over our trip.

The design is modern without being pretentious. The neighborhood (Las Canitas) can be noisy on weekend nights, so you might want to request a room that does not face the street. Two amenities are worth separate mention, as they are brilliantly conceived and without a doubt the most useful freebies we have ever received with the price of a hotel room. First, each room comes equipped with its own iMac that transforms the flat panel television into a computer--with free broadband internet access. As you can imagine, this makes researching restaurants or neighborhoods very easy. The second inspired amenity is the ability to make free VoIP phone calls to the USA and several other countries. While being half a world away is great, it is also a lot of fun to be able to call your friends and family to let them know what you've been experiencing--all without paying a cent extra.

The truly distinguishing thing about Tailor Made Hotel, however, is the level of enthusiasm and individualized service provided by the staff. Both Loli and Manuel were always happy to make suggestions for restaurants or activities that cut through the typical guide book offerings and trended more toward an authentically local feel. Having made no definite plans for food or entertainment before arriving, we followed several of the staff's recommendations--and all of them were wonderful. They even helped us plan the next phase of our trip in Uruguay. In fact, we relied on the hotel staff for virtually every phase of our stay in Buenos Aires, from arranging transport from the airport and booking dinner reservations, to helping us purchase our ferry tickets to Uruguay.

The hotel offers several add-on options, including private tango lessons. We chose a guided tour around the city. One of the staff members, Manuel, took us on an amazing trip around several parts of the city using public transportation, which afforded us a real view of the day-to-day atmosphere of the city and its inhabitants. Before the tour, Manuel was careful to talk to us in detail about what we were planning to do on our own, so that he would make sure not to duplicate anything we would see on another day.

All in all, if and when we return to Buenos Aires, Tailor Made Hotel will be at the top of our list of places to stay while there.

This hotel is simply lovely, charming, modern and fabulous. However what really makes it is the staff. Everyone who works there is super nice, super informative and extra knowledgable. Breakfast in the lobby is a mini buffet of treats and amazing coffee, and wine is available in the evenings. The rooms are clean, sleak and unique with private decks and spacious bathrooms. The beds are super comfortable and internet is free!

You also cannot beat the location. After exploring BA, we found the neighborhood one of the best and within walking distance of fabulous shops, restaurants and bars. All this and some of the best hotel prices you can find. This is clearly THE place to stay.

Our experience at the Tailor Made was exceptional. The hotel itself is nice- very modern and clean- and while that helps to make my review excellent- it was the people that made it really special.

One of the owners, (Maritsa? My spanish is iffy...) was one of the nicest people you will meet. She went out of her way to help us with travel arrangements, restaurant recomendations, etc. She even wrote up a 5 page list of places to visit in Uruguay and attached a map.

Also- they have wine, food and laundry for guests free of charge- which just seems homey even if it's included in the price.

The cons? It's two doors from a pub so it can be a bit noisy on Fridays and Saturdays. Not super loud with the windows and doors shut- but noticable. Didn't keep me up or anything.

Overall- loved it.

This hotel epitomizes a boutique hotel. We had the pleasure of staying at the hotel for one night and it was by far one of the most enjoyable hotel stays that I've had in a long while. The hotel was founded on the principle that once you're done paying for the room, you needn't be concerned about being nickled-and-dimed for additional services such as bottled water, wine and coffee service.

When we arrived at the hotel at about 10am in the morning, the staff was gracious enough to stow away our luggage for later check in. On our return to check in, they had already placed our bags in our room and the checking process constituted only of providing some minimal amount of information. While filling out the docs, we were offered wine, coffee, snacks (brownies, cookies etc.)..all complimentary.

There are 5 rooms at this hotel, all tastefully appointed. Our room (Room2) is considered to be a standard standard, but might as well have been considered to be a suite. It had a great bed with excellent bedding and a sitting area with a fire place. The bathroom was equally to our liking, with a functioning jacuzzi. The bath products are specially made...might I dare say...tailor-made for the hotel. Additionally, the room had a Mac-mini computer from which you can browse the web, check your email and have access to a library of music (at least 890 songs). Our room also had a balcony that comes in handy for some people watching.

The location of the hotel is in the heart of Las Canitas, but on a rather quiet street which makes it a great retreat. The neighborhood is filled with great dinning opportunities as well as unique boutique stores.

The staff was extremely attentive and were always willing to engage you in conversation...or leave you alone should you need some peace and quiet too. I got a chance to have a conversation with one of the owners of the hotel and suffice it to say that her vision of not needing to use your credit card for additional services during your stay at Tailor Made Hotel was succinctly realized!
