I want to move in.

Pros: The staff anticipates your needs even before you do. Walking down the hallway on our floor had a truly palatial feel.
Cons: They made us leave when our reservation was up. We wanted to stay forever.
Location: Recoleta is a great neighborhood in Buenos Aires, loaded with upscale shops, restaurants, a nice park nearby. THE place to base while in BA.
I'm told this is rated as the world's 9th best hotel. If that's true, I'm not sure I want to see the top 8. There are some, probably, more lavish and certainly newer, but from its location in the midst of Recoleta to its architecture to the incredible attention to detail at every level, the Alvear Palace is nothing short of superb. My wife and I splurged, and got a "deluxe premier" (sounds like linguistic overkill, I grant) one-bedroom suite. Perfect, from the extra powder room to the butler service, to the immaculate condition of the room, to the incredibly comfortable bed. The reception and concierge staff are friendly, skilled, helpful. Food and drink was excellent. Prices are high, sometimes shockingly so, but next trip to BA, I know where we are staying. We were there four nights and treated like honored guests the entire time.

Old world elegance

Pros: The furniture is elegant, yet comfortable. Food and beverages were awesome. Best of all was the helpful and friendly employees.
Cons: It is not inexpensive, but I think it is worth it.
Location: The shopping is very good within walking distance of hotel. Recoleta cemetary is somber and full of history. Museums nearby.
Words cannot express how please we were/ are with the alvear hotel. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. You can tell that this hotel is well run from the top down. Everyone is extremely helpful and sincerely friendly. They go out of their way to accommodate you needs. I will stay there every time I return to buenos aires.
