Hotel Babel
At a Glance
- beautiful and welcoming lobby
- only nine rooms, all lovely
- guests are greeted with a complimentary glass of Argentine wine upon arrival

Cons
Hotel Babel Review
This 200-year-old former home of late Argentine president Juan Manuel de Rosas sits on one of the city's most historic streets, exactly nine blocks from the Casa Rosada, in the heart of San Telmo. A beautifully lit lobby decorated in dark wood and leather furnishings greets you with a library living room to your right and a well-stocked bar to the left. The 9 rooms are spacious and modern, with big beds and colorful bathrooms decorated with venecita tiles and stocked with locally produced creams and gels.
