Although in my travels in Argentina I have found some "boutique" hotels to be stylish, but without substance, Magnolia is really a cut above the rest. The rooms are well appointed and very clean. The roof deck is a great place to have a glass of Malbec, while looking over the city. The hotel is also in a great neighborhood, just steps from the action in Palermo. Most of all though, Magnolia has great service. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and really do their best to make sure you have a great stay.

My wife and I capped off an Antarctic cruise with a 3 day stay at Magnolia. We could not have been more delighted. Wonderful ambiance, splendid breakfast (homemade yogurt tells you how special everything is), comfy room and bed, but best of all are the people who make Magnolia so very welcoming. Maria is so friendly and helpful, as well as her staff of Maria (a happy newlywed), Natalia, Miguel, and Florencia.

From the moment we arrived we felt at home, why we choose boutique hotels when possible. The rooftop is just the place to sip a drink at sunset. We had the privacy of an outdoor patio from our room. They arranged for our transportation, reserved a table at nearby Selon Canning (tango the way the locals do it), guided us to the best use of our time in BA, and were available around the clock. They did it all so effortlessly and professionally. The location is great for all the action in Palermo Soho.

We've traveled around and would rank Magnolia right at the top of boutique hotels. I felt so much at home I would enjoy welcoming any of my new friends to our home in the USA. Bravo Maria and team! I hope we can visit you again!

My friend, who was on business and I stayed at the Hotel Magnolia in the fall of 2010. The hotel was superb. Rooms were well appointed with hardwoods, antiques, private patio. Theroof patio has couches and pillows and a great view of the neighborhood. Its a lovely older building that has been tastfully renovated with art work, very good breakfasts, but above all excellent service. The staff at the hotel go above and beyond advising. They care for your welfare by making sure the taxi knows where you want to go, finding your cell phone and hanging on to it for 3 months till you can retrieve it! They even sent me a New years email card! Great people. I feel that Maria is now a friend.

All the other reviews are correct -- this is a charming little gem of a hotel. i will focus on a few key things you should know. there is a great little restaurant on the Soler corner (turn left as you exit the front door) and a nice little gelato shop on the other corner (turn right as you exit). You will have to take a cab or metro to most places in town other than soho, so budget for it (time or money). There is a supermarket across the street and to the left where you can stock up on water or mate. The wi-fi is somewhat limited by the thick walls so let them know if its very important to you -- we stayed here twice and the back room on the first floor was a no wifi zone and only some parts of our room on the second floor had a signal. the hotel is lovely, book with confidence.
