Truly a five star experience. We arrived early after a 9 hour flight, and they let us use a cabin in the pool/spa area to shower and change clothes. Then they stored our luggage until our room was ready, so we got a head start in enjoying Buenos Aires. The restaurant is excellent Italian quisine.

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

The only draw back is that even though the bathrooms have a good size, the shower are minuscule. It is almost impossible for an average size person shower without hitting the sides or the faucet.

Excellent location, in a nice part of town with a couple of coffee shops, a very nice restaurant and a cocktail bar across the road.
Excellent breakfast and a very efficient concierge! Got us restaurant and Tango show reservations on the same day!
