A group of friends traveling together stayed at the Recoleta Plaza for 5 days in December. The hotel is perfectly located in the beautiful, upscale area of Recoleta. The rooms are very nice and well equipped, attractive and of average size. The staff is very friendly and helpful--always pleasant. Included breakfast was excellent but other food and drink pricey for B.A. Free internet available near lobby. One travel tip--you can only get 300 pesos (about $100) at a time from ATM--of course paying fee to your bank each time. Might do better with Visa debit card. Not realizing this had hard time getting cash first day and hotel wanted to charge 15% for cash charged to credit card. Nearby and very fancy Alvear Palace charges guests 5%. Other than that would recommend hotel enthusiastically--very attractive, reasonably priced and the staff is very nice and very helpful with restaurant reservations, etc.

The hotel was lovely and a wonderful location. We have traveled all over Europe, Mexico, Carribean and most of the U.S. The front desk and the bell captains were the best of any hotel (five star or otherwise) that we have ever stayed in. They are all very helpful, friendly and extremely nice. The rooms are very nice as well as the bathrooms. There is a buffet breakfast every morning and they have wonderful choices. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would definitely go back again.

5/5 found this review helpful

This is a beautiful boutique, classical hotel of Buenos Aires style, warm, small with friendly employees, more like a family place! 50 something rooms in two small towers and a warm environment! Jazz bar, piano for breakfast, and 5 star rated rooms.
Located in the most luxurious barrio (district) of Buenos Aires, Recoleta, really conveniently located to browse around the whole city!! Since it is located only few hundred meters from the famous, really amazing flea market, that takes place every weekend and where someone can find any Argentinian traditional good, you should arrange to include a weekend in your journey!
I strongly suggest this hotel if someone wants a nice place for starting up discovering this amazing city from a warm, luxurious (as much as "required", not an exaggeration..) residence!

Excellent option if you are looking for a small, luxury and glamorous hotel.
The location is great. I spend a time searching for hotels in the famous Recoleta area and I found this Meliá Boutique Chain hotel for a nice price comparing with other traditional options. I love jazz and they surprised with a show in their Jazz Voyeur Club, featuring a famous local musician.
The service is very friendly with newspaper every morning, very nice breakfast and an excellent combination of classic luxury details in decoration.
So nice!!! I strongly recommend!!!.
