135 Best Hotels in Argentina

Bright white walls with colorful art and slick modern furniture decorate this central four-story hotel, which offers good value, if simple, lodgings in San Juan.

This gorgeous boutique hotel in the village of Tolombón, 14 km (9 miles) south of Cafayate, occupies an 1892 colonial mansion; there's a wine bar and cellar, an excellent restaurant, a reading room complete with fireplace, and a peaceful spa overlooking endless vines. Rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, with views of the garden and large swimming pool. At the back of the hotel you can find the Tolombón Ruins.

The sleek Alvear Art Hotel is set back behind some trees on a pedestrian-only street in the heart of the city’s business district. It has a younger, faster feel than the grand dame Alvear Palace Hotel, but delivers the same top-of-the-line service. Black-and-white photos of Buenos Aires decorate the rooms, which have heavenly beds that are turned down at night, and enormous marble bathrooms. Even though it’s only a block off noisy 9 de Julio, the double-paned windows, blackout blinds, and warm color palette of tans, creams, and light green create a quiet retreat. The glassed-in pool and whirlpool tub on the 17th floor provide fantastic city panoramas.

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 suites are received by a white-gloved personal butler who unpacks your bags, presses wrinkled clothes, and tends to your every need. The lunch buffet and afternoon tea at L'Orangerie are worth checking out.

A contemporary option than Salta's often more traditional hotels, Amalinas' design features poured cement and soothing natural hues adorned with splashes of primary colors, plus airy rooms offering views across leafy San Lorenzo. Great thread count sheets ensure a good night's sleep. Service from both reception and restaurant staff is attentive.

The tall, elegant tower of this downtown hotel looks out on the Plaza Italia, and the rooftop pool gives you a view over the city center. Rooms are spacious, if a bit scruffy around the edges.

This slope-side luxury hotel has plenty of diversions for stormy days—including a space for children's games and activities, a piano bar in the lobby, a wine bar serving cheese and regional smoked meats, a movie theater, a heated pool, and a sauna. Rooms are spacious, with large windows overlooking the slopes. Stay options are a 'mini-week' (two nights) or seven nights. 

Perfect for business travelers on extended stays, couples looking for some stretching room, or families in need of some privacy, this apartment-style hotel's accommodations are bright, roomy, and pleasant. They all have shiny wooden floors, snowy white linens, functional kitchens, and contemporary artwork. A couple blocks away is the slightly bigger Art Suites & Gallery, decorated in the same fresh, contemporary aesthetic. Both properties are located in residential pockets of Recoleta, conveniently close to the neighborhood's favorite sights, shopping, and restaurants.

Comodoro's biggest hotel is actually two hotels in one: the older, larger, but more modest Austral Express, and the newer Austral Plaza, a 65-room luxury hotel with marble floors, plush towels, and spacious rooms. If you're only overnighting on your way south, consider the Express—it's almost half the price of the Plaza, but you still get amenities like free Wi-Fi and the same great breakfast. The Austral also has one of the city's finest seafood restaurants, Tunet.

Conveniently located between the main plaza and Balcarce Street, Ayres de Salta has a small pool and fitness center on the roof and a good little restaurant on the ground floor; rooms are large and well-equipped. The staff can arrange excursions to the rest of the province and parts of Jujuy.

The island's five geodesic-domed yurts that comprise this glamping hotel are surrounded by sleepy waterways, verdant trees, and tall grasses. A tranquil place for a romantic getaway or just relaxing. Although activities are a bit slim, with just kayaking and a good-sized but unheated pool, there is a shared Jacuzzi and two of the cabins have private outdoor Jacuzzis. Breakfast is included but lunch and dinner are extra.

This waterside lodging has a spectacular spa and swimming pool, with views overlooking Lake Nahuel Huapi. There are also a bar and an outdoor patio on the top floor, a fine-dining comedor for hotel guests, and lakeview rooms throughout. In the middle of it all, a glass-covered atrium six stories high allows light into the hotel's ample interior spaces.

In a prime location for those in town for business or pleasure, this Recoleta hotel caters equally well to both types of travelers. With a seemingly constant stream of tour groups checking in, business executives holding meetings, and celebrities trying not to be noticed, there is always something happening. Despite the constant activity, the service never falters; the highly professional staff keep things running smoothly and happily tend to everyone's needs. Although they're lacking in original style, the stately rooms have richly stained wood furnishings and marble bathrooms. A leafy, European-style garden complete with a fountain sits behind the hotel.

You can tell the owner of this luxury hotel is an architect as soon as you enter: majestic views of vineyards and mountains are expertly placed through a series of shapely windows, skylights, and sloping walls, and there's a handsome infinity pool that drops off into the vineyards below. Luxurious linens and interior design make each room feel cozy and some rooms have a view of the Andes right from the bathtub. There's a great restaurant on-site (book the cooking class) and you can explore the 350-acre estate by horseback or bike.

When the Edificio Mihanovich “skyscraper” was built in 1929, it was among the tallest buildings on the continent. After lying empty for six years, a major refurb by the Spanish Único Hotels group brought it into the 21st century, with a sophisticated and timeless design seen little in Centro hotels. Marble and wood rule the design, while the lobby’s glass roof is striking. There is also an in-house restaurant serving Argentine classics; work off lunch at the indoor pool.

A cozy boutique hotel with 22 rooms located on the historical cusp of San Telmo, Cassa Lepage uniquely brings together art and history under its roof, given that it houses its own archeology museum and art gallery featuring contemporary Argentine artists. Guests can take a guided tour of the property, then step out onto the narrow streets to be further bathed in nostalgia and history. For a touch of old-world grandeur, book a French balcony room.

Tall white columns and stately bow windows flank the entrance of the Claridge Hotel, beyond which you'll find the high-ceilinged lobby and a traditional British café and piano bar that draws a steady stream of politicians and businessmen. The brick building dates from 1946, and was built with an Anglo-Argentine clientele in mind. That feeling lingers in the spacious, elegant rooms with elegant wood furnishings and flowing draperies. The pool and spa are ideal for chilling out after a long porteño night.

Set in a 19th-century mansion surrounded by vineyards and tall trees, Club Tapiz feels like a private villa; guests can lounge in the olive tree–lined garden and gaze at the Andes from the outdoor pool or indoor Jacuzzi before sampling the estate's wines at the informal evening tasting. Rooms are connected by a large inner patio (with varying views) and common spaces include the peaceful garden, spa area, reading room, and sparkling wine lounge. The nearby additional house, Casa Zolo, can offer more privacy for a large family. The inn’s eponymous restaurant ($$$, reservations essential), serves seasonal dishes that marry local ingredients (many from their own garden) with wine in a tasting menu; like the food, the setting is tasteful and the owner is an avid art collector. If your budget can't stretch to a night here, come for a wine tasting, Monday to Saturday. 

Suites, apartments, cabins: every room at this scenic complex in Puerto Manzano has a panoramic lake view. A-frame cabañas with decks and outdoor barbecues sleep up to seven, while all suites boast wooden Jacuzzis with views of the water. A large swimming pool and deck with grills, kayaks, and boats looks out onto the lake. During high season, a four-night minimum stay is required.

Right on the beachfront in the city center, Dazzler's sea views will keep you eagerly hunting for whales, while the comfy beds and generous amenities will pull you away from the window for just a little while. A small gym and sauna and an ample sun terrace overlooking the coast complete the offerings.

Light shines from a skylight four stories above the registration area, lobby, bar, and gathering spaces, and a third-floor glass bridge connects rooms by spanning the atrium, with a circular staircase winding around a glass cylinder down into the basement bar, restaurant, and casino. Breakfast is served in a sunny room by the pool. Polished hardwood floors, contemporary art, glass, steel, leather upholstery, and lots of light bring an element of creative luxury to San Juan.

When you're staying in a wildlife reserve, taking care of Mother Nature seems only right; while this eco-friendly hotel uses solar panels, low-energy fittings, and recycles its water, they don't skimp on style or luxury. Moss- or sage-green walls offset the recycled-wood headboards, and the huge, firm beds have crisp linens, natural wool throws, and lots of pillows. The friendly staff help you organize nature-oriented expeditions all over the peninsula, including spots few tourists visit.

Oenophiles will appreciate the decor at Delvino—a remodeled, Spanish-style villa where the airy guest rooms are painted in grape tones (Malbec red among them) and decorated with wine-themed artworks. All are named after one of Argentina’s sacred grapes; try the Torrontés suite for size (it comes with a Jacuzzi). You can relax with a bottle of vino from the on-site wine store in the cozy living room or, in warmer months, sip it on the veranda by the swimming pool.

Kudos go to the architect for this sleek space with spacious, loftlike rooms. The lobby's glass floor looks down to a small pool, just one example of the transparency theme that runs throughout. Floor-to-ceiling windows afford amazing views, and mirrors have been placed for maximum effect. Rooms have rotating flat-screen TVs that let you watch from bed or from one of the leather recliners.

This futuristic hotel has a glass-covered lobby that grooves to chilled-out electronic music and a slender swimming pool that's often used for photo shoots. Sleek rooms have wood floors, streamlined furnishings, and kitchenettes with little extras like espresso machines. The cheerful staff is happy to give you a local's perspective on the best sites to visit. You're close to excellent shopping on Avenida Santa Fe and the stately Palacio Pizzurno.

One of the city center's larger top-end hotels, the Diplomatic often hosts conferences and football teams that each take advantage of the central location, modern facilities, and various event spaces. Its convenient locations means many restaurants and bars are within walking distance.

After renovating a colonial-style mansion into a boutique hotel, El Bodeguero—named in tribute to its former owners, the renowned Etchart winemaking family—refreshes the accommodation options in downtown Salta. The property opened in 2024, and aesthetics are contemporary blended, stylish rooms using natural tones as well as natural materials such as leather and wool, and retaining original features such as the elevator and stairways. Details include upcycling wooden blinds as headboards. The in-house restaurant is excellent, includes an underground cellar room for private meals, and is an equally refreshing addition to Salta’s often traditional dining scene. 

At this stunning modern hotel, all public spaces—halls, wine bar, gourmet restaurant, even the downstairs gym and indoor-outdoor pool—face the lake, while a private launch docked at the pier makes getting out on the water a cinch. Here the aesthetics go well beyond the lush natural setting: sculptures perched on marble stands or freestanding in the garden are part of a 500-work collection displayed throughout the property, making this Bariloche's most stylish lodging. You'll also find artwork in the huge, lake-view guest rooms, which are tastefully done in natural colors. The hotel is less than 15 minutes from Bariloche, Cerro Catedral's ski slopes, and two 18-hole golf courses.

Stone and wood merge in the angular spaces of this hillside hotel in Puerto Manzano, which offers luscious views of the lake and mountains from its enormous windows. Every room is also graced with a Jacuzzi and abundant natural light. Added perks include a spa, indoor-outdoor pool, and private dock, plus impeccable service. A few extra pesos get you a private deck.

For a taste at playing vineyard owner, book an elevated loft housed on El Porvenir de Cafayate's wine estate. Five contemporary suites opened in 2024 and the well-appointed rooms with queen-size beds and great linen include a wine cava, a coffeemaker, and a communal swimming pool. Vineyard and mountain views abound from the property, offering peace despite proximity to Cafayate's center.
