Five Star Hotels in Buenos Aires

While visitors to Buenos Aires can count on all kinds of bargains around town thanks to the favorable dollar-to-peso exchange rate, the deals don't extend to lodgings. Luxury accommodations come at luxury prices, so count on dishing out your dollars if high-end is on your list. The good news, though, is that with your international bill comes international standards of quality and service - and the kind of big breakfasts that the majority of Argentinians aren't yet clued into. Luxury-seekers will stick to the classic, brand-name hotels clustered in upscale Recoleta and Retiro, such as BA's finest, the Alvear Palace Hotel, and the recently renovated Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt, situated within a stone's throw from some of the finest dining, drinking, and shopping options in town, as well as carefully shielded from the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires, one of the noisiest cities on earth. Puerto Madero is another top choice for location, and the Phillip Starck-designed Faena Hotel + Universe is your best bet, particularly if the wildly excessive makes you swoon. Should you be after something truly upscale but a bit more unique, try out the new Palermo boutique hotel Legado Mitico. With just 11 guest rooms, the hotel manages to offer a truly personalized experience to guests, who will delight in the spacious rooms, excellent service, and hotel communal spaces, such as the rooftop sun deck and the stocked library. For those who aren't prepared to splurge the big bucks for a luxury hotel but like to soak in the elegant atmosphere regardless, drop in for a cocktail or lunch at the bars and restaurants inside Buenos Aires' finest hotels, many of which are independently managed and just about all are open to the public.
