Fodor's Expert Review Alvear Palace Hotel
Av. Alvear 1891, Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, 1129, Argentina
The standard-bearer for upscale sophistication since 1932, the Alvear Palace is undoubtedly the shining star of the city's hotel scene: scores of dignitaries, celebrities, and VIPs have passed through its doors over the years, and they keep coming back for the world-class service and refined atmosphere. Elegantly decorated rooms feature silky carpets, gorgeous draperies, and featherbeds topped with Egyptian-cotton linens. Guests staying in any one of the 100 suites receive the services of a white-gloved personal butler who will unpack your bags, press wrinkled clothes, and tend to your every need. The lunch buffet and afternoon tea at L'Orangerie are out of this world.
