We left our first hotel (one with high reviews) to come here with great relief and we’re grateful we did. This hotel is iconic, elegant, classic and comfortable. Like everything in Argentina, it is old and somewhat worn from time, but that only enhances it. This hotel has history and charm and well kept. Our room was clean and comfortable and elegantly decorated. The staff is extremely accommodating, friendly and easy. The breakfast room is one of the loveliest. The bar and tea room is perfectly cozy and wonderful for tea or lunch. The location is central. They were also very accommodating with our family and children. This hotel is perfect if you appreciate iconic old world luxury.

Stayed at the Alvear Palace Hotel in Buenos Aires for 7 days in May of 2023. After a long flight from the New York area the hotel was a very welcoming destination to arrive at. Check in process was flawless and the hotel is absolutely beautiful. City location was excellent with many museums and the Recoleta Cemetary a short walk away. We stayed in a suite with small foyer, separate sitting area and large bathroom and bedroom. Amenities were impeccable, bathroom was welcoming with one of the best showers in any of the hotels we've ever stayed at worldwide. We sampled all of the hotel's restaurants with the lobby bar and Alvear Grill being our favorites (all were excellent though). Many very good local eating places within a short walk away. Highly recommend and trip to Buenos Aires and stay at the Alvear Palace Hotel while visiting!!…

Beautiful hotel, staff very helpful and efficient. Breakfast is terrific yams plentiful. Great location for walking to many sites . However, no excuse for the really shoddy internet. I heard many complaints and this is a very big concern for working people. Also, not sure why our rom was stuffy and humid, despite air conditioning being turned on. All in all, despite an overall positive experience, I would try a different hotel next time.

The Alvear Palace is a beautiful and sophisticated hotel in the heart of one of the nicest neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. It’s got a wonderful old world flavor, though with every modern convenience. We were treated very well during our stay. And the pool on the top floor, overlooking the skyline, was a nice plus. Not sure one could do much better in Buenos Aires.

The Alvear Palace was a gorgeous elegant hotel. Every aspect of our experience was first class, from the professionalism of the staff to the Rooftop Bar, to the stately elegance of the lobby and public areas. The rooms were very nice, spacious and appropriately furnished. Bathroom amenities, including the walk in shower were very comfortable. We were welcomed at the Rooftop Bar when it opened, even though we didn't have reservations. The staff were accommodating and quite friendly. The Alvear Grill was superb - best steak we have ever had! The overnight team at the front desk were friendly and gracious when we had to check out at 3am to catch an early flight! There is not one aspect of our visit that we would change - an overall fantastic experience in a 5 Star Hotel that lives up to its reputation.…

It is a “grand dame” of a hotel: old and luxurious. Old world class. Think lots of marble and gold plating, ornate decor. Rooms are ample but maybe a bit dated. The decor needs a little refresh (the furnishings in the bedrooms were a mixed bag of styles) but the dimensions of the room were great. The dining rooms, terraces, cafes and common eating areas were good. The breakfast was included and really good. The staff was were professional and sweet, the concierge was super helpful.

We had the pleasure to return to this Grand Dame hotel last week! From the minute you step foot in the Alvear Palace Hotel you feel as if you are transported to old world Europe. The hotel exudes such timeless elegance and class! The lobby bar is my favorite...just a gorgeous, regal area with huge chandeliers, marble tables/floors and big curtains. Waiters dressed in vests and bow ties answer your every need. Beautiful cocktails and good food too. The empanadas and Chicken Club sandwich are both excellent. The rooms are also quite beautiful and spacious, with crystal chandeliers and sitting areas. The service is exceptional! The laundry service is amazing! Your clothes will come in a beautiful box with tissue paper! The Front Desk staff is extremely personable and kind. The other gem of this hotel is the Rooftop Bar! Wonderful views of Buenos Aries, especially at sunset. Great cocktails, snacks and sushi. Excellent waiters! Check though to see when it is open because it is not open daily. They also have a cute rooftop, tiny pool and seating deck with great views of the city. It is a place more to hang out and read a book with a drink, rather than swim, as it is just a pool to get your feet wet really. There is a small indoor pool, as well as the sauna and large hot tub in the basement. The fancy restaurant, Alvear Grill, is also excellent and quite an experience in fine dining. Wonderful service and delicious food...especially all the grilled meats. You can see the fire where they cook the meats from your table. The Alvear Palace Hotel is special because it still feels intimate and authentic. It is not like its competitors, The Four Seasons and Park Hyatt...both of which feel very American/touristy, by comparison. I absolutely love this hotel! After traveling the world, it remains one of my most favorite hotels in the world. …

It’s a beautiful hotel architecturally and it’s well located the end. The room is fine, most of the staff is aloof and pretentious without reason. Evening room service is non existent in that they simply don’t show up then tell you that they wrote down the wrong room number. Morning room service is a bit better. We will be back in Buenos Aires in October and wouldn’t stay here again for free. I just didn’t want to stay at an American chain in Argentina but that may be the only 5 star solution.
