This hotel was so fabulous - I would run back to Buenos Aires in a second just to stay there again! It is not a very large hotel, but it is beautiful and I found the staff to be excellent. We were there with a group of well seasoned travelers and every one of them expressed how wonderful the hotel... More

Superb service, superb rooms, wonderful service from the on-floor butlers (though a couple of peculiar calls about ashtrays found on the housekeeping trolleys near to my room). Breakfast is delightful, though do dress appropriately. More

The Alvear Palace has lovely classic rooms that are spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms, fortunately, are large and modern. They are great about giving upgrades to past guests, even if a previous stay was only a week ago. The location is excellent, but it is not really worth eating at the hotel. The food is uninspired, despite what any reviews... More

The service, the ambience, the small gracious touches -- everything about our stay was perfect. We loved the sense of traditional elegance and the modern amenities. The bar is truly an escape into another era. Most of all every member of the staff was outstanding in attitude and competence. More

The Alvear is THE great hotel of BA. Like Raffles, the Old Cataract, George V, Danielli or the Waldorf Astoria, perfect service is just part of the reason you are here. You are following in the footsteps of history, and whatever I say will not change that. The butler was perfect - we could not have been more welcome, the... More

This hotel is class personified. The interiors are elegant and tasteful. The staff is professional, friendly, and helpful. The breakfast buffet is an experience worthy of a special journey. There is a very good gym and a wonderful old wood-paneled bar that feels like it's been around for a hundred years. The concierge booked all of our restaurants before we... More

We booked the Alvear Palace for 2 nights through Leading Hotels of the World. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a suite that was magnificent. The butler made sure that we had everything we needed during our stay. The concierge helped us with dinner reservations and printed our boarding passes. The buffet breakfast was included in our room rate and... More

We stayed here for the two nights during New Year's eve. Wonderful service and spa amenities. Had our own butler but frankly I didn't know what to do with him; gave him two dresses to press and shoes to shine. If I had my dogs with me, I would've asked them to be walked! My only grievance is really not... More

Stayed here over New Year -yes it is expensive but you certainly get what you pay for including your own butler who was very helpful. Hotel in an excellent position for sightseeing, but taxis always available to go further afield, from the very attentive doormen. Overall a superb hotel. More

We arrived on Dec. 24th and found all the restaurants were booked. We went to the concierge for his recommendations, all he gave us a place a couple blocks away with the typical fix prix menu @650 Arg. peso. He at no time recommended the bar or room service as we just wanted something lite. We went for a walk... More
