Buenos Aires Hotels near Alto Palermo Shopping Center

Pros: thanks

Cons: nothing

Pros: Hotel is pretty and infrastructure is ok

Cons: I stayed 1 night. We had problems almost everywhere: - Spa: massage therapist was new, and the massage was very poor (not the fault of the therapists in any way though). - Dinner: inexplicably slow - Breakfast: no egg station included. Bacon almost burnt... impossible to cut. Poor options. The hotel refunded some of the things due to the service flaws; but that is completely off point, I would have preferred a good service with no refund. Very disappointing experience for a hotel of the reputation and price of Alvear Palace.

Pros: Great location and history. Fairly relaxing. Staff very friendly and attentive.

Cons: Not the attention to detail or cleanliness you would expect for the price. I would suggest that this once was one of the leading hotels. Not a scratch on Claridges/Ritz/Six Senses group etc. Staff were nice enough, but concierge unable to book all requests (moved to another hotel due to flight change for final day and their concierge was able to book a table at a restaurant supposedly unbookable by Alvear). Found debris like crisps under the bed - not that I was looking - I happened to notice while doing Pilates. Toilet seat broken, but promptly fixed the following day (if I had called them, I’m certain it would have been fixed in lightning speed, but I couldn’t be bothered - I wanted to relax - just can’t understand how it was missed when signing off the suite). Other guests in common parts fairly audible. No international papers over breakfast and no cigar cutters on the terrace. Various other elements of detail one would expect in a leading hotel, but were missing.

Pros: Great location, nice staff that arranged excursions.

Pros: It’s a beautiful hotel with excellent service

Pros: One of the most luxurious hotels in Argentina, with perfect staff, perfect rooms and perfect facilities. We loved everything regarding this hotel.

Cons: Nothing. It was perfect.

Pros: Location

Cons: We expect cleanliness at least . The first day, we were assigned to a room in the 3rd floor and noticed a stench smell in the room . The carpets have stains on it and it did not have a clean smell. Certainly for the money we paid , we expect a clean room . It smells like chlorox poured and mixed with freshener that became stale , basically musty odor. I ignored the stains in the carpets but certainly not the odor . I thought at first it was because maybe the aircon was not opened for long time but when we came back after our dinner, we still could still smell it that we needed up calling the concierge. The manager took the call and sent someone who was holding 2 bottles and seemed to have no idea what was the complaint . He left after 3 seconds in the room indicating that he will call someone . Half an hour later , no one called to follow up about the status . No one until I called back and spoke to the manager . He told me his staff did not smell anything , I told this manager that his staff thought he was bringing water , stayed only for 3 seconds and unable to assess the situation properly . And when I told them that my husband has asthma that he finally suggested that we will be moved to another room . All I wanted is a basic requirement, a clean no smell room . Never mind about fluffy pillows or the views or the gold pillars , those hotels are fairly common somewhere else as well but the most important thing is cleanliness and comfort . As for their breakfast ? No variety , same food served in the same trays every morning . If you want hot meals or omelette, then that is separate order and for about 20 dollars per person / meal not including hot meals is an overkill . And the staff , are all over the place moving in a chaotic symphony esp if the group tours come in throngs. There should be someone overseeing these people otherwise , they keep on being apologetic because they forgot to serve your coffee earlier .

Pros: room size, bed, swimming pool, gym facilities, spa.

Pros: everything

Cons: everything met expectation

Pros: Excellent staff who were very professional and helpful. Great room with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was also very good.

Cons: A minor point but the water feature in the lounge area is out of proportion to the size of the hotel. But as I say this is really a trivial point.

Pros: Very comfortable room, rich breakfast, staff members are all very kind and helpful. Walking distance from very popular places to eat and drink.

Pros: The staff was first rate. All were very nice. Spoke English. Just very nice all around.

Cons: Absolutely loved it. Staff was awesome helping us with directions, cabs, subway info, and restaurant recommendations. Our room was great. Comfortable bed. Super clean. I'd stay here my next visit to Buenos Aires.

Pros: Modern building and design, bright, clean.

Cons: The noice traveled through the building from downstairs to the upper floors. They should put some big area rugs in places that would absorbe the noice.

Pros: Small boutique hotel located in a Palermo neighborhood area of BA. Staff were always very helpful with info and cabs. Room was ready by our early arrival :) Breakfast : omelettes,eggs cooked to order, lots of sweets of course, excellent coffee and the perfect serving staff. Beautiful outdoor patio with fountain, wall fountain in hotel lobby, lots of greenery and a sitting area. Rear rooms are quiet and have a view of the patio. Spacious rooms and bath with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Cons: Front rooms are fairly noisy because they are on the street side. Restaurant didn't seem to be open very often, even for drinks. That could be the US timing of happy hour and dinner vs. Argentina's idea of dinner time. More of a quite neighborhood hotel, enough restaurants within walking distance but many sites needed a cab ride.

Pros: The staff was beyond friendly! Special shoutout to Pablo at the front desk who was very helpful when we did not know where to go out to eat. The location, Palermo Hollywood, was great, walking distance from many good restaurants and bars. The breakfast was really good and they offered a complementary glass of Malbec. The rooms were very clean, which is something I look at in every hotel I stay and am very picky about. The decor was also very nice and modern and not to mention its an eco friendly hotel! Overall, I was very impressed.

Pros: Pretty, modern, design room Free glass of malbec on arrival , and biscuits on check out

Cons: There could be more savoury options for breakfast. Omelettes taste like they are made with a packaged egg mix

Pros: Location, size of room and additional thoughts - like evening tea or a card stating weather for the next day.

Cons: Had a massage - not particularly good.

Pros: Staff very kind, good breakfast and coffee, welcome Malbec yummy! I enjoy the green features making a pleasant scene in the middle of the city.

Cons: Doors thin, water falls only during the evening, neighbor complained of noise during the day.

Pros: The warm welcome on our arrival with a Palo Santo booklet of insider tourist suggestions. The designer furniture and view from our large room onto a plant filled courtyard. The fresh smell in the room (you can buy the room freshener from the hotel). The breakfast is excellent and well presented -little things like the breakfast staff remembering I like strong coffee with hot milk and my daughter likes tea. The little gift of artisanal biscuits when we left.

Pros: Although not charming, the suites are very comfortable, and the bed very comfortable. Special mention to the friendly and efficient staff.

Cons: Breakfast coffe was very bad. Twin beds were too small.

Pros: Great location and breakfast. The hotel has a gym and swimming pool that proved to be useful! But most of all, the price.

Cons: WiFi can be spotty.

Pros: Big triple room; staff was kind and let us check in early after a very long flight.

Cons: A little noisy due to some construction and rowdy guests during one night. Overall goof hotel.

Pros: the bedroom was very nice and comfortable. we had an inside bedroom which did not have any street noise! that was great. we recommend the area.

Cons: the bathroom had a jacuzzi but it doesn't work, they don't provide tea, coffe, or something to warm some water if you want to enjoy something in the bedroom.

Pros: Facilities, size of the room, location.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location space

Pros: Spacious rooms, great location.

Cons: The swimming pool is not heated.

Pros: Walking distance to great restaurants, shopping mall, great parks, very nice walk on avenida del libertador! Close to a lot of freddo ice cream stores! Palermo overall a great neighborhood! Staff very nice and helpful! Maria the cleaning lady was extra nice always with a smile .

Cons: We arrive early and they couldn't let us check in early!

Pros: The reception was under remodelation and the room tha have view to the swimming pool was a little noisy becasue the hotel did not stop the cascade during the evening.

Cons: I face a problem with the hot water and the shower have not enough pressure.

Pros: It was third time we came. We love the rooms (like small studios), staff and location. Last time we had pool-view room. This was less noisy that the one we had now (street).

Cons: Pool wasn't heated. No Micro in rooms, but we asked and the solved it immediately.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Breakfast could've been better

Pros: Very chic hotel. Nice location close to Aeropwrque airport.

Cons: Room had a nice balcony, but street view was not that great.

Pros: Perfect Location, clean and beautiful. The Staff is very kind. Breakfast was very good.

Cons: They charged for the Nespresso capsules in the room. It would be nice to have a water boiler in the room too.

Pros: Fantastic facility, wonderful rooms, perfect neighborhood and wonderful staff.

Pros: Very spacious room with tons of natural sunlight.

Cons: The sheets on the bed kept crawling up so that the mattress was exposed every night

Pros: Every single member of the staff was super friendly and helpful. Even the last day, when I was leaving at 5:30am, the receptionist who had worked the night brought me a coffee, croissants and juice while i waited for a taxi. And the hotel's design is pretty cool. And a nice little bar/cafe in the basement. But the day receptionist was fantastic as well. Also, I was there for work and I was able to walk to two of my meetings.

Cons: Wifi, wifi, wifi. They upgraded my room when the wifi was really bad (eg. not working most of the time) in a lower room. They gave me a beautiful room on the 10th (ask for it when you book - it's great). But the wifi still didn't work and I had to use data from my phone. At $10/gb, it didn't kill me and I had LTE there, but your mileage may vary. They told they were going to fix the wifi issue, which was caused by the kind of solid construction the building has - lots of heavy concrete, presumably reinforced with steel.

Pros: Location and service. We got a spectacular view in our room

Cons: A bit worn out needs refurbishment and maintenance. The breakfast service (cups and plates) need to be replaced very soon

Pros: Welcoming, friendly staff. Great location. Comfortable bed. Excellent value.

Pros: Location good. Quiet room requested which was good. Staff very helpful and courteous. Airport transfers very good although had to look hard for representative on arrival.

Cons: New television delivered without warning to us. Found 2 maintenance people assembling it without notifying us so quite shocked to find our door opened. After assembling the new television, it didn't work. No bedside lamps. Plumbing and air conditioning old and noisy. Floors looked dirty.

Pros: This property needs lots of refurbishing The rooms smell of cigarette smoke

Cons: The pictures in the net have no comparison to the real thing

Pros: Great location

Cons: The internet was horrible.

Pros: The view is spectacular and the location is quite nice too. Perhaps the best draw, though, is the staff (Monica, Miguel, Fabian, Fernando, Grenzet, Laura): they were extremely helpful and professional Monica went out of her way to ensure we were taken care of! Her recommendations (things to do, restaurants) were spot-on each time!! In addition, Monica’s great personality made our trip even more enjoyable and memorable!!!! We would definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and stay there again!

Pros: We liked the location and the size of the hotel, the courtesy and friendliness of front desk staff and the young man who attends the breakfast area, which is delicious. We checked out and left our luggage with front desk, rested in the comfortable sitting area until the private car, which the hotel booked and charged to our room, booked for us. Everything made simple, no mistakes.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The staff is great. Nicely designed rooms and building, with floor to ceiling windows.
