Fodor's Review:
This Buenos Aires landmark brims with old-school style. Built in 1909 and renovated in 2003, the hotel sits at the top of pedestrian-only Florida Street and overlooks the leafy Plaza San Martín. The elegant lobby, crystal chandeliers, and swanky cigar bar evoke Argentina's opulent, if distant, past. Rooms are comfortable and clean, if not particularly spacious. The hotel is next to both the Kavanagh Building, a 1930's art deco masterpiece that was once South America's tallest, and the Basilica Santísimo Sacramento, where renowned Argentines of all stripes, like Diego Maradona, have tied the knot. Exploring the myriad nooks and crannies of this grand old hotel is part of its timeless appeal.

Poor maintenance
Posted by HappyTrvlr from AZ on 4/21/09
We checked out after two nights of a six night reservation due to ongoing maintenance problems in two different rooms: very low water pressure in shower, toilet that kept backing up, water flooding into closet and all over clothing, street noise. This beautiful old builiding deserves better care as do its guests.The front desk was rather unresponsive. The Plaza Grill on the other hand had excellent service and delicious food. Marriott refunded out two nights stay which we appreciated.
Historical Charm & Modern Convenienc

When is a Marriott not a Marriott? When it is the Plaza, managed by Marriott. This is no cookie cutter chain hotel. It is an historic property totally restored to its glory days. Each room is a little different, but all are befitting a five star hotel. This hotel features the best bar in Buenos Aires, a grand exercise room, a breakfast room with hand painted murals...and more granite, marble and crystal than you can imagine. The staff takes pride in the hotel and in customer service...some of the staff have been working here for over 40 years....Great location. Great Service. Great Room. Who could ask for anyting more?
