An historical icon that still attends to the needs of a modern traveler. We have family in BA and have traveled there many times, staying at the Alvear was on our bucket list, and it did not disapoint in any way. From the cocktails in the lounge to the bed linens, it was superb.

Everything was top notch. If you are looking for grand and classic this is the spot. Great staff. Patricio and Sebastian were great. The breakfast is amazing. Room service was a delight had the burger and ceaser salad. Rooms are huge. Hotel was built in 1932 and a lot of the original build remains so you can feel the soul and history.

Hotel was amazing, conveniently located in Recoleta and close to AEP airport. Our rooms were spacious and very clean. Breakfast was the highlight, sadly we were only able to enjoy one morning as our flight was early morning and had to leave before breakfast opens. I wish hotel provided packed breakfast, I requested but they asked to charge me for coffee and some pastries to be packed.

I only experienced breakfast at the cafe. The beef empanadas and cappuccino was great. I didn’t eat at the restaurant. The comfort of the bed was ok, not the best for my preference. Everything else was clean, great location surrounded by shops and restaurants. It’s safe to walk around. It has an Italian feel with grand columns, and crystal chandeliers

I'm not sure that I have ever stayed in a hotel that felt as "grand" as this one (and I have stayed in many luxury hotels). Our room was fantastic (it was a Mirador junior suite; the view was outstanding, and I hear that you really want to stay in the recently-renovated area of the hotel). The pool was relaxing, rooftop bar great, and breakfast the best I've ever had. Next time I come back to BA, I won't stay anywhere else.
