Probably one of the most romantic and best hotels of Buenos Aires ! Old typical house of Buenos Aires totally refurbished in ancient style.
Very well located (Recoleta), calm, excellent breakfast, family atmosphere. Free internet access for customers.
Permanent exhibitions of paintings and draws of artists.

A good address to know ! Your best choice and quality/ price if you are looking for something different.
This address was recommanded to me by the travel agency Equinoxe (Buenos Aires). Thanks to them !

"I visited Buenos Aires with the intention to look for what is authentic ... The Art Hotel must be one of the few hotels in town that respected the historic origins of a building that must be about 100 years old.
I'm an art lover and appreciated the presence of works of art all over the hotel (art galery on the ground floor, art in the rooms,...).
Although I consider myself to be a demanding customer, I was very pleased with the attitude and eficacy of the hotel's staff.
If you are looking for a place that is really special, check out the Art Hotel."


Un abrazo!

I travel to BA six to eight times a year. Stayed in all kind of Hotels.
This is my review on the Art Hotel, where I spent 6 nights (April 1st to 7th) in room 52.
The location is desirable, close to Santa Fe Av. the subway, shoping, restaurants, Recoleta, you name it.
The building is charming, this is a true boutique hotel.
The Lobby is adecuate, there is a nice area (wireless available and free) on the ground floor, you can also use the hotel computer (free), or sit down read some of the great picture books they have on all parts of Argentina. There is a small "Art Gallery", some nice well lit paintings for sale. At the same time there is original art work all over the hotel.
In the back of the ground floor, is the breakfast area.
Breakfast is above average for hotels in BA, the food is good, and there is always place to sit down and read some of the newspapers available there in the morninigs.
The elevators are 1930's and they are small but very charming, the mirrors are real crystal.
My room 52, on the top floor next to a nice terrace where you can sit, unwind, drink some Malbec, and watch the southern cross. The room is adecuate, on the small size, but good enough, unless you plan to spend the week inside it.
They offer free internet in the rooms, the quality of the beds, linens, pillows, and covers is TOP NOTCH.
The rest is OK, the bathroom is small, but again adecuate.
Plenty of closet space, and a safe, also a TV, and a fridge.
The people that work there starting with Eduardo Casazza are top of the line. On top of every detail. I'm not the easiest of customers, and they satisfied all my requests and needs. Reservations, taxis, addresses, more questions, comments, last minutes emergencies, etc.
There is no question in my mind, this is the place where I'm going to stay on my next trip.
NOTE: rooms 42,32,and 22 have balconies, for me it was not important, but it adds some interest to the toom.
Great value, good place to stay!

The Art Hotel is charming and the service (contradicting recent reviews on this forum) was pleasant, friendly, and top-drawer. True- the "superior" class room itself was small (see my photos), and the lighting was poor, and the bathroom was small. But these are not significant unless you plan to spend a lot of time in your room. The major amount of time I spend in a hotel room is sleeping, and I must say that the BED was excellent, thereby meeting or exceeding all of my principle criteria. Breakfast was quite good (rolls and jam, cereal, yoghurt, cheese and ham, sliced fruits, coffee). I would be very satisfied to go back there again. The location was very good- on the SouthWest corner of Recoleta, close to a Subte and only 2 blocks from Santa Fe, and only 3 blocks from a gelateria (what more could you ask for?)
