46 Best Hotels in Argentina

At this urban oasis, a white-marble lobby leads to a palm-fringed garden where you can enjoy a poolside breakfast or an afternoon cocktail. Sleek guest rooms have sophisticated color schemes complemented by black-and-white photos on the walls. Executive studios have whirlpool baths, and certain suites amazing views of a place that high-society Argentines have been dying to get into for years: Recoleta Cemetery. Loi Suites also operates three other apart-hotels in the city.

From the owners of Las Hayas (just around the corner on the winding mountain road), Los Acebos is a modern hotel on a forested ridge with a commanding view over the Beagle Channel; spacious and superclean rooms feature the same iconoclastic decor as Las Hayas, including the trademark fabric-padded walls, only this time with a ’60s-style color scheme. The restaurant serves international dishes in a chic dining room with sensational views. Staff are relaxed and personable, especially with the large number of well-heeled Argentine families who base themselves here, close to the nearby ski slopes. Guests can imbibe by the lounge fireplace or in the game room.

The friendly welcome from the owners makes staying at this B&B feel like visiting a friend's home (with great attention to detail in design and well-chosen furnishings). What makes it special is the level of advice and service that the knowledgeable team can give you: they are all mountain guides and have been living, working, and hiking in the area for more than a decade. Freshly squeezed orange juice is a nice touch at the abundant breakfast table.

A modernist and minimalist property built of concrete and exposed stone, this boutique hotel comes complete with cool common areas, a full bar and restaurant, and a youthful staff. Each room is decorated in a different color scheme, providing a needed touch of warmth to the otherwise monochromatic feel. The full-service bistro, open only to guests, offers great porteño cuisine, as well as tasty mixed drinks and local wines. You can watch the day's soccer match on the flat-screen TV in the lounge area, though with the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street you forgo privacy. Surrounded by grass, a slender plunge pool is filled by a waterfall.

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.

Great views across the lake are the main selling point of this smartly kept hotel, where each lakeside vista has a seated window or armchair so you can watch the beautiful sunset colors dance across the sky. Modern rooms have the necessities, there is good Wi-Fi throughout, and the communal breakfast room and the dining room have more lake views and wall-to-wall windows.

Housed in a former convent on one of Palermo's most happening corners, the Nuss is a great option for those who want to be in the heart of the barrio's action. The 22 rooms are clustered around a Spanish-style open-air patio. All the rooms are bright and breezy, with large beds fitted with stylish leather headboards. The vast rooftop terrace has cozy lounge chairs and a small pool surrounded by dozens of trees that make for a natural oasis in the midst of the urban buzz.

Slippers are already waiting by your bed when you check into the Palermo Place, making the spacious, studio-style rooms especially inviting. The rooms have a handsome decor, windows letting in lots of light, and kitchens loaded with everything you need to make a home-cooked meal. All the extras, including the oversized towels and Egyptian cotton sheets, are top quality. Internet access is free, and laundry and dry cleaning services are available. In lieu of breakfast in the hotel, staff get guests out on the block with vouchers to redeem at stylish and tasty brunch spots close by.

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.

The falls aren't the only good views in Iguazú: half the rooms at this chic hotel look onto the churning, jungle-framed waters of the Iguazú and Paraná rivers. Even the pool, set on a large terrace, looks over the river. The view gets seriously panoramic from the top floor, which is one of the best sundowner spots in town. The rooms are lovely inside, too. Gorgeous throws and pillow shams offset the clean lines of the contemporary furnishings.

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.

Surrounded by tall, leafy alamo trees, this enormous complex incorporates a country manor house, half a dozen convention rooms, a spa, and an indoor swimming pool. Prices halve in low season, which only adds to the sense that it's overpriced when you're most likely to visit El Calafate.

Less than an hour south of Puerto Iguazú (35 minutes from the falls), the posada (inn) was built in 1943 to lodge guests to the yerba mate plantation, and the new owners, a lovely and helpful couple, reopened it in 2007. The interiors were renovated but retain their charm and remarkable craftsmanship, most notably in the dining room/library. The large rooms are not fancy but very comfortably furnished. Meals for the set two-choice menu are lovingly prepared and may be enjoyed on the veranda. Activities include kayaking on the Paraná River, which borders the property, and a ride along the river to the magical and secluded salto Yasy, a small waterfall and swimming hole (or wading, in dry season), or just lazing by the swimming pool. Staff are very knowledgeable of the area's flora and fauna and, if you're in luck, will call attention to a howler monkey.

A glorious five-bedroom house designed by Alejandro Bustillo is over 200 yards of jungle from the posada, with its own access road, and is also available for up to 12 people. Built for the original worldly owners, it's filled with period furniture as well as black-and-white photographs of family here and in faraway places. The house includes its own, albeit smaller, swimming pool, and the house staff includes a cook, though guests are free to use the kitchen and outdoor parrilla.

Classic gray granite creates a businesslike atmosphere in the lobby of this popular city center hotel. There is an outdoor pool (in season) and an assortment of meeting rooms. Check the website for promotions.

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.

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.
