We knew when we go to B.A. we want to stay at The Alvear and we don't regret our choice. The interior is amazing and so is the friendly service from all the staff. Breakfast in the winter garden is also an experience and we don't complain about the variety of food!! We aren't the only guests which love the... More

We stayed here on our second trip to Buenos Aires since last year there was no space, and now I can understand why. This hotel is a classic- a real icon in the world of chic and comfortable hotels worldwide. Definitely worth a stay here, not only is the staff perfect in their politeness and competence with languages, but the... More

We went for afternoon tea and had a lovely time. This is a soul soothing kind of place where everything works perfectly and people know what you want before you've even thought if it yourself. The building is stunning (walk up to the lavatories at the end of the corridor and peep into the beautiful French ballroom) and tea is... More

We had Sunday brunch and the food was excellent. The menu was varied ranging from wild boar to organic chicken. The salads were exceptional. Desserts and pastries were ok. The staff and servers were very attentive and polite. Brunch was pricey but the ambience made up for it. Come at least once to day you did!
