135 Best Hotels in Argentina

In spite of the cavernous hallways, minimal decor, barren walls, and dim lighting (legacies of the Perón era, when the government built hotels for its employees), this grand old mountain hotel offers comfortable refuge en route to Aconcagua, Chile, or Barreal in the opposite direction. The surrounding scenery, grounds, and gardens invite long walks; the dining room is huge; and the bedrooms have closets large enough to accommodate a month's worth of clothes.

Approaching Uspallata on Ruta Nacional 7, you’ll see this wood-trimmed brick building with a pitched tile roof by the roadside. Rooms are basic, with brick walls, minimalist furniture, and, in some cases, bunk beds; an open, airy living room has places to sit around a woodstove. Outside, a large glass-enclosed swimming pool is bordered by a lawn big enough for a soccer game.

In the wooded foothills of the Andes, Las Hayas is slightly dated in its facilities, but the views overlooking the town and channel below still make it worth the trip. Each room features Portuguese linens, solid oak furnishings, and crisp white fabric-padded walls covered in bright one-color floral prints. A suspended glass bridge connects the hotel to the health spa, which includes a heated pool, Jacuzzi, and even a squash court. There's a good restaurant on-site, Le Martial, which prepares local Patagonian cuisine.

The standard block construction might not seem very inspiring, but the Indalo has clean, comfortable rooms and free Wi-Fi. You can stay either at the hotel or in one of seven cabins right on the waterfront.

This lovely hotel has so much going for it—a historic setting, a pair of fine restaurants, a fitness room, and sophisticated rooms, for starters. Relax beside the indoor pool, work out in the fitness center, or enjoy a massage at the spa. The lobby bar is a great place for a drink; if the weather's right, sit in the courtyard, where you can forget you're in a concrete jungle. By day you can readily explore the quaint antiques shops, restaurants, and tango halls of nearby San Telmo. After the office workers head home the area is desolate; it's also on the fringe of some sketchy streets. Taxis are the way to go.

This charming new-build that perfectly matches a colonial estancia opened in 2022, and thanks to the warm service and central location, has become a popular place to stay. White-washed walls and colorful tiles decorate shared spaces such as the dining room, while the focus of the central lawn courtyard is the swimming pool. Spacious rooms are tasteful and elegant, with regional art on walls. Make use of the concierge service to book winery tastings.

Lined with wooden balconies, high-beamed ceilings, and a slate floor, this hotel is a paragon of Andean Patagonian architecture, while a sunny rooftop spa, gym, and spacious Jacuzzi offer great views over town to Lago Argentino. A lobby bar and living room with fireplace, card tables, magazines, and a large TV are dangerously conducive to lounging about.

Carob wood and local boulders from the Quebrada de las Conchas were used to construct the little Casa de la Bodega, a rustic space with most mod cons that feels like peace personified.

You can also visit the winery attached to the hotel, Peña Veyrat Durbex, for a wine-making close-up.

The various rooms, cabins, and houses here surround a garden of flowers and cacti; all accommodations are built with traditional local materials—adobe, cane, wood—and are decorated with a contemporary eye. A similar aesthetic is reflected in the restaurant, which is one of the best in town. The small pool is heated, so you can even take a dip on a cool evening, with a view of the Siete Colores range.

This splendid 2024 opening puts a fresh spin on luxury in the heart of Chacras de Coria. Home to just seven suites, each driven by a literary figure such as Shakespeare and García Márquez and with dashes of New Mexico design, means staff are always on hand, because once you check in, you might not want to leave. There’s an in-room spa including wet and dry saunas, private plunge pool, and hand-carved wooden bathtub, as well as a kitchen and dining room to host guests if you please. Creature comforts are well taken care of, with king-size beds, day beds, and wood-burning fireplaces the standard. There's also a wine cellar and small restaurant. 

This lovely vineyard lodge offers plenty of peace and quiet thanks to its rural location in a 670-acre (1 sq. mile) estate in Los Chacayes.

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.

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.

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.

All rooms have balconies overlooking the street or the courtyard where large, metal butterflies by an Argentine artist are lit up at night.

This lodging occupies a spot on one of the chicest strips in Palermo Soho, more than holding its own against neighboring see-and-be-seen establishments. Englishman David Collins designed the hotel, and it's clear that he considered every nook and cranny to create a cohesive look. Rooms are modern with a touch of rustic comfort, thanks to oak floors and warm color schemes. The friendly staff is eager to help you navigate shopping, dining, and revelry.

Slippers are already waiting by your bed when you check into the Palermo Place, making the spacious, studio-style rooms especially inviting.

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.

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.

The Hyatt has preserved the landmark Plaza Hotel's 19th-century Spanish colonial façade: a grand pillared entrance and a wide veranda that extends to either side of the street. Inside, however, it has all the modern comforts; minimalist bedrooms are softened by plump white pillows and duvets covering the simple ebony beds. Rates include use of the gym and spa, plus an abundant buffet breakfast. Lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner are served on the gracious terrace overlooking Mendoza's main square. A two-story wall of wine separates Bistro M, the restaurant, from the lobby.
