We enjoyed this fine hotel in mid-February of 2006 and found it to be absolutely wonderful in every way. We've stayed at Hiltons in Rome, London including the Park Lane, Budapest, Hawaii and all over the world. This is the finest Hilton we've ever enjoyed! The staff made every effort to be helpful and they constantly buffed the wood and kept everything sparkling. The location was great, too, near Cabana Las Lilas, the best meat restaurant in the city. And if you're worried about security here, don't! It's in a safe setting with plenty of Port Police on patrol. We are Hilton Honors Gold Members and were upgraded to a suite. Some publications give this hotel only 4 stars. I, however, would give it 5 stars plus. We highly recommend a stay at the Hilton in Puerto Madero based on our multi day stay there.

After missing our flight connection in Buenos Aires and Antarctic cruise, we needed a last-minute hotel reservation. Our bad fortune turned around once we arrived at the very friendly Hilton Buenos Aires. Even though they didn't have a room ready for us at check in, we were given complementary tickets for drinks. Our desk clerk personally came to us in the lounge with all necessary paperwork and keys (it was a very short wait). We requested information for a city tour, and they arrainged everything for us (three hour tour $20US each).

Our 5th floor room was big, clean, quiet, large walk-in closet, stocked desk and had a water view. We were so pleased and grateful to salvage our trip via the Hilton Buenos Aires. We rented bikes from the hotel and enjoyed riding in the large nature reserve just two short blocks away (bike rental $25Argentine Pesos, 3 hours --about $8.35 US each).

Resturants are plentiful along the nearby romantic waterfront. In their summer you will spy locals locking lips while sitting on the benches. Who can resist the lights from the buildings and harbor, tall sailboats, music, warmth of the night? It is also very safe to stroll along there with the one you love.

Back to the Hilton. Everyone spoke some English (some very well). The friendly staff at the 5th floor business center remembered our names after the first visit. There are about six computers available there (plus one more on the 8th floor),
first 15 minutes free.

The breakfast buffet at the hotel was a pleasent surprise!! I am a Vegan and was thrilled with all the variety: fresh fruits & berries, tofu, nuts, juices--- it was fantastic! My husband, not Vegan, enjoyed the smoked trout, salmon, and cheese selections. Much thought went into the large, and tempting bread and pastry area. Naturally they offer omletes to order, scrambled eggs, sausage, etc.

Sadly, we needed to return home. But because our flight was not until 10:30pm they held our bags while we went off to the museum and dinner. Even though this wasn't in our plans--- it turned into a great trip after all.

Just back from 4 nights at the Buenos Aires Hilton. This is a great hotel, with wonderful service and a good location.

Beyond the large comfortable rooms, of note, the service is truly outstanding. You'll find everyone helpful and very eager to make your stay - not only at the hotel but also in BA, as near perfect as possible. From the front desk, to housekeeping, to breakfast servers, to the health center- think of a truly 5 star small hotel.

Take advantage of the front doormen; They have a wealth of information, are happy to assist and in many ways outperform the concierge staff on Buenos Aires tips and tourist advice.

The location has it advantages, restaurants and night life are just outside the door, but is a hike from the SOHO/Hollywood/Serano neighborhoods,though close to Calle Florida and the Casa Rosada/San Telmo areas. Happily cabs are inexpensive and readily available. (The doorman will provide an expected fare as you depart the hotel so no worries about random drives around the city)

The pool is spectacular while the gym beats any other I've seen - even the exclusive Sports Club LA operations. You'll find the staff helpful and eager to assist in the gym or just ordering another drink poolside :)

The breakfast buffet is very very good, with eggs cooked to order, and an outstanding selection of meats, juices, breads, sweets, smoked salmon and fresh fruits. However if breakfast isn't included in your room rate, it can be a bit pricey at $15 USD..
Likewise, Internet access from the rooms is ridiculously expensive, though computers in the business center are free for quick checks of e-mail or web checks for airline/restaurant information.

Some earlier reviews have mentioned charm: The hotel is international in style. It has a crisp and professional standard, my sense was that it is much more European than American- but in many ways it is like BA itself- A mix of European and American, an outstanding value overall.

I got back today after a 6 night stay at the Hilton BA.
I think the Hotel is in a great location, vey safe, withing walking distance to outstanding restaurants, no less that 50 or 60 of them.
Less that $5 cab ride to any place in the tourist circuits.
The Hotel is of the international style, you really could be anyhwre in the world. The excecutive level has one of the best breakfast service I had ever had in any hotel.
The rooms are big, clean, with walk in closet, and great bathrooms. The could use a renewal of the towels.
Overall this is a great place to stay in a great city.
