The Alvear Palace was wonderful. The rooms, service, restaurant, staff were all wonderful.. more

We stayed for 3 nights. Our stay was OK, but given what we paid, it should have had the wow factor. Good things are: impressive entrance hall, excellent concierge, efficient check in and a very good location. But when we saw our room, expecting something spectacular, my heart sank. It was just bland with tired floral decorations, dark and rather... more

Our stay at the Alvear Palace Hotel was the best hotel experience that we have ever had and Buenos Aires was wonderful. We stayed at the Alvear over the Christmas Holiday and recieved excellent service and an overall warm reception from every one on their staff. Our favorite things about the hotel were spending the early evening around 8pm in... more

Over the course of a week I stayed at the Alevar Palace, in Buenos Aires, twice. Twice my sleep was disrupted by a Mexican guest and a band he brought back to his room. On my 2nd visit they rolled in at 4am and stayed playing loud enough for me to hear it 2 floors away. I called and front... more

We enjoyed our 3-night stay at the Alvear Palace. It reminded us of the St. Regis in NYC -- elegant, formal, historic, pricey, and very well run. The location is great for site-seeing. The only quibbles: somewhat dated fitness/spa facilities, and uneven service in first-floor courtyard dining room. During the same visit to South America, we also stayed at the... more

My husband and I spent two nights at the Alvear Palace last September. We had been in BA for a week prior to our stay, renting an apartment in Palermo. This was our splurge weekend. It was wonderful! The porters knew our names by the time they had unloaded our luggage from the cab (I think they read them off... more

Before travelling we were not 100% sure if the Alvear would be the right hotel for us. We are in our mid 30s and were debating whether the Faena would be a better fit. But we are glad we stayed here. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Service is fab, not sure how they do it, but they called... more

I just returned from a memorable 7 night stay at the Alevar. The beauty and elegance of the hotel and the refinment of the staff exceeded my expectations in every way. The Alvear's reputation as one of the "Leading Hotels of the World" was demonstrated in the beauty of the public areas as well as my lovely "suite de lujo".... more

My husband and I just got back from another amazing stay at The Alvear. (also stayed there for 2 weeks May '07). I was surprised to read some of the recent reviews concerning disappointing experiences with the hotel. We couldn't have been more pleased with the beauty of the hotel, its pristine condition, prime location in La Recoleta and the... more
