A historic palace with service to match — and one small fix needed We stayed at the Alvear for a long weekend in Recoleta and it lived up to its reputation. The location is excellent: quiet, elegant, and within walking distance of the neighbourhood’s best restaurants and cafés, with easy access to the rest of the city. The building itself is a real treat — a historic palace, beautifully maintained, with the kind of detail and grandeur you rarely find in modern hotels. Staying there feels like part of the experience rather than just a place to sleep. The staff are consistently warm and attentive, and the concierge service deserves a special mention: it is genuinely a cut above. You can reach them easily by WhatsApp, which made everything effortless — we booked restaurants and theatre tickets well in advance without a single complication. Extremely convenient. My only criticism is a small one: the scrambled eggs at breakfast were poor — so much so that I couldn’t finish them on any morning. It’s a minor detail in an otherwise outstanding hotel, and an easy one to put right.

Several years ago, Alvrea had a period of decay. NOT ANYMORE!! Super recomended

Love everything!!!

It’s hard to imagine that there is a better place to stay in Buenos Aires. The Palace is a beautiful hotel with incredible service and attention to detail. The concierge staff helped take our trip to a higher level. The hotel is also in a high-end neighborhood and within walking distance of quite a few major sights. We highly recommend!

Such a luxurious experience..perfect location..my choice for Buenos Aires for sure

Good location. Old fashioned classic hotel. Staff speaks english. Comfortable bed. Very long corridors to walk to the room

Everything was top notch. If you are looking for grand and classic this is the spot. Great staff. Patricio and Sebastian were great. The breakfast is amazing. Room service was a delight had the burger and ceaser salad. Rooms are huge. Hotel was built in 1932 and a lot of the original build remains so you can feel the soul and history.

Excellent

Lovey hotel in a safe neighborhood.
