Casa Lucia Member of Melia Collection
A beautiful boutique hotel in the Retiro central quarter of Buenos Aires. Very walkable to many other destinations and the hotel itself is absolutely lovely. It pays to ask for a junior suite otherwise the other rooms are too small and have no views

Hôtel excellent! Très bien situé. Les déjeunés sont exceptionnels, je n’ai jamais vu autant de choix avec ses jus detox et quelques options sans gluten. Nous avons très bien dormi malgré le bruit du centre-ville. Je recommande fortement

Dazzler by Wyndham Buenos Aires Polo
Great, friendly staff and a good place for a short stay in BA. We had a very smelly room and they happily let us change to another room.
