This Buenos Aires institution is a sumptuous luxury hotel with a prestigious history and glitzy guest list.

Situated in the fashionable Recoleta district of Buenos Aires, the opulent and highly prestigious Alvear Palace Hotel boasts an illustrious guest list. Enjoy luxurious rooms, an elegant restaurant and regal public areas.

This grand institution reflects the elegance and style of Latin America’s most sophisticated city. The lobby and other public areas exude dazzling extravagance, with Hollywood-style staircases, chandeliers, sumptuous furnishings and fabrics. Guestrooms and suites are classically decorated and welcoming.

Service throughout is superb. If you are occupying a deluxe suite (or above) you’ll even have a white-gloved butler to attend your needs. Breakfast at the hotel’s orangerie is a highlight and a pleasurably civilised way to begin your day.
