42 Best Hotels in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Background Illustration for Hotels

In Buenos Aires, European elegance collides with Latin American energy and style to create a certain no sé que—the Argentine version of the French je ne sais quoi—that makes the city unlike any place in the world. Even within the city, neighborhoods have their own distinct personality and spirit, and hotels tend to both reflect and enhance the identity of their neighborhood.

The lodging options in Buenos Aires rival those of any international, cosmopolitan locale. From jaw-dropping luxury hotels to intimate boutique hotels injected with local flair, one thing is certain: you’re bound to encounter far more appealing lodging options than days you’ll have in the city. Hotels are constantly opening, renovating, and amplifying their offerings. Despite climbing prices in recent years, Buenos Aires is still affordable for international visitors on the dollar, euro, and real, and its irresistible pull remains strong. Many visitors, having discovered the intoxicating energy of the city, return again and again. Hotel owners and their staffs, eager to share their city and culture, often play a key role in Buenos Aires winning people over and encouraging them to return.

Downtown in the Centro as well as nearby Puerto Madero you’ll find sleek, soaring hotel properties; inch toward Recoleta and you have your pick from the ritziest hotels in town, particularly on and around Avenida Alvear. One-of-a-kind boutique hotels, usually small and always thoughtfully run, are where the city really shines, and while these inviting properties are found across the city, they are concentrated in vast, lively Palermo, particularly the Soho and Hollywood neighborhoods. San Telmo, with cobblestone streets lined with gracious mansions, is one of the city’s most historic neighborhoods. Working-class Almagro and up-and-coming Villa Crapo are culturally vibrant in their own ways, and a stay in one gives you a chance to dive into everyday porteño life. In the end, every neighborhood offers visitors the chance to experience one side of the buzzing, beguiling city of Buenos Aires.

Mio Buenos Aires

$$$ | Av. Pres. Manuel Quintana 465, Buenos Aires, 1129, Argentina

The winemaking Catena family owns this luxurious boutique hotel, and all the rooms come stocked with wines straight from their own Mendoza vineyards. You'll find stylish rustic elements everywhere, starting with the towering entrance fashioned from wood from French oak barrels. Also made by hand are the wooden bathtubs, all of which are slightly different. All rooms have balconies overlooking the street or the courtyard where large, metal butterflies by an Argentine artist are lit up at night. Some suites include in-room saunas, while others have private rooftop whirlpool tubs. Amenities include massage cabins, a pool, and a small exercise area.

Pros

  • Located on a picturesque Recoleta street
  • Mixes rustic and contemporary design elements
  • Open and airy feel

Cons

  • The ground-floor common areas feel elegant but somewhat somber
  • The pool is good for swimming lengths but shallow
  • Dining in the basement is a bit glum

Pros

  • Spacious outdoor areas
  • Great decor
  • Close to some of the best spots in Palermo Soho

Palermo Tower

$$$ | Charcas 4955, Buenos Aires, 1425, Argentina

If you need some elbow room, the Palermo Tower has some of the biggest rooms you’ll find in Buenos Aires, all of them featuring sitting areas with comfy couches and nicely outfitted kitchenettes. Between the tile floors and dark furnishings, however, the decor could be a bit warmer. A small but well-appointed gym is on the top floor, as are the outdoor pool and solarium. The buffet breakfast includes a selection of serve-yourself items as well as made-to-order favorites like omelets. The newest property from P Hotels, it sits comfortably close to Palermo Hollywood's bars and restaurants.

Pros

  • Plenty of space to spread out
  • Two terraces for lounging: one by the pool, another near the breakfast area

Cons

  • Nearby thoroughfare is noisy at all hours
  • Pricey compared with similar properties

Panamericano Buenos Aires

$$ | Carlos Pellegrini 551, Buenos Aires, 1009, Argentina

Near the famed Teatro Colón and the landmark Obelisco, the upscale Panamericano Buenos Aires has a lobby with a checkerboard marble floor that leads to large salons, a snazzy café, and conference rooms that are popular with local politicians. Rooms are spacious and elegant, with dark-wood furnishings and lavish fabrics. The top-floor pool and spa afford amazing views. Visit in the late afternoon to watch the soft pastels of a smoggy sunset give way to the neon glow on one of the world's widest avenues, Avenida 9 de Julio.

Plaza Hotel

$$$ | Florida 1005, Buenos Aires, 1005, Argentina

Originally built in 1909, this Buenos Aires landmark brims with old-school style—the elegant lobby, crystal chandeliers, and swanky bar evoke Argentina's opulent, if distant, past. Exploring the myriad nooks and crannies of this grand old hotel is part of its timeless appeal. Sadly, it could have been better maintained. Rooms are comfortable, if not particularly spacious. It has a quiet location at the top of pedestrian-only Florida Street overlooking leafy Plaza San Martín.

Pros

  • Elegant lobby
  • Brimming with history
  • A fascinating view of the city

Cons

  • Check-in can be a lengthy process
  • Could use an update

Serena Hotel

$$$ | Libertad 1617, Buenos Aires, 1016, Argentina

The name of this design hotel conjures up a feeling of serenity, and the fountains in the lobby, the outdoor patio ringed with greenery, and the sizable indoor swimming pool take it to the next level. The calming aesthetic extends to the rooms with soothing cream-colored walls, cushy carpets, and furniture created with soft leather and dark wood. The armoires, headboards, and desks are by top Argentine designer Eugenio Aguirre, who created them especially for the hotel. The adults-only property is situated in the swankiest part of Recoleta—which the polite, attentive staff is happy to help you navigate—and offers a smaller, quieter base than its neighbors like the Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt.

Pros

  • The downstairs relaxation area and outdoor patio are ideal for whiling away hours
  • Smart design
  • Wonderful location

Cons

  • The gym is sparse

Sheraton Buenos Aires Hotel & Convention Center

$$ | San Martín 1225/1275, Buenos Aires, 1104, Argentina

What it lacks in intimate charm, it makes up for in practicality, professionalism, and energy. There's always something happening here: a visiting dignitary, an important meeting, an international conference. Rooms are standard, clean, and well equipped, all of which explain the hotel's popularity among American business travelers.

Pros

  • All the creature comforts you expect at home
  • Good location
  • Affordably priced

Cons

  • For some, perhaps overwhelmingly big
  • Rooms could use a sprucing up

Pros

Vain Boutique Hotel

$$$ | Thames 2226, Buenos Aires, C1425FIF, Argentina

Following a substantial refurb, Vain added a cluster of simple yet stylish and spacious suites to its name in 2024. Rooms bear plenty of pulled concrete and natural tones, such as stone and cream; there’s also a rooftop splash pool and sun deck with the bonus of a bar in summer. The excellent location on Calle Thames means many restaurants and bars are a stone’s throw away, so it’s very convenient for getting around on foot. 

Pros

  • Walking distance in Soho
  • Friendly staff
  • Very comfy beds

Cons

  • Rather poky bathrooms
  • Breakfast room in full view of street
  • Small pool
