Fodor's Expert Review Fierro Hotel

Often called "the hotel for the gourmand"—the restaurant's chef Hernan Gipponi is a driving force behind the Buenos Aires foodie scene—the Fierro is a choice lodging for travelers looking for a five-star stay in a boutique package. The color palette is sleek reds and blacks, and all rooms boast top-of-the-line beds, spacious living areas with chaise lounges, and flat-screen TVs. The staff delivers each guest a welcome tray of treats like macarons and truffles from the hotel's restaurant. The chef's menu changes seasonally and includes legendary breakfasts and one of the most lavish brunches in the city. There's a monthly chef's table dinner, limited to 16 guests, and a back patio that hosts Friday happy hours where locals and visitors mingle over fresh seasonal cocktails and small plates.
