Recoleta Grand

0 1 2 3 4

A modern hotel in an excellent location for sight-seeing, this good-value property has set itself high standards of service and comfort in a no-nonsense, contemporary ambiance.

The Recoleta Grand in the affluent suburb of Recoleta is highly recommended for its smart and stylish presentation, convenient central location and high level of comfort and service. There’s a small pool open to the sky (Nov-Mar), and a spa and fitness centre. The restaurant, like the generously proportioned guest rooms and suites, is decorated in contemporary-chic style, with good quality furnishings. This isn’t luxury, but the clean lines and uncluttered design and decoration will be pleasing to many.

All the guest rooms have minibar, coffee machine, free Wi-fi, a huge flat screen TV, air conditioning and heating. There are four categories of rooms, from Junior to Grand Suite. In relation to similar properties in Buenos Aires, the hotel is also excellent value for money.
