Fathom Favorites : Buenos Aires Hotels

1. L’Hotel

A charming Provence-inspired hideaway that has thoughtful details in spades. Comprised of two old houses joined together, each of the 23 guest rooms is unique in design and decor, some with garden views and others with private balconies. A quiet back garden with a swimming pool will have you wondering if you're in the city or the countryside.

2. Hotel Pulitzer Buenos Aires

A sleek look and affordable price point are two qualities that make the boutique hotel stand out in a well-heeled district known for attracting high-end clientele. Rooms are compact, featuring both vintage and contemporary furniture in neutral tones and materials like caramel-colored leather and light oak wood. Pack your swimsuit for a dip in the rooftop pool.

3. Faena Hotel Buenos Aires

A flamboyant riverfront retreat with a theatrical spin. Picture bright red carpeting, black horsehair furniture, and a wall of unicorn heads: The decor is not for the faint of heart. Tango lessons can be arranged on a dime; the city's top troupe, Rojo Tango, performs nightly dinner and cabaret-style shows in the 1920s-era bar.

4. Alvear Palace Hotel

For Belle Époque splendor, head to the grande dame of the hotel world. Crystal chandeliers, Persian rugs, and gilded walls decorate the French-inspired public spaces, while rooms are done in Imperial-style decor with Louisi XVI furniture and round-the-clock butler service. The breakfast buffet at L'Orangerie is legendary.

5. Jardin Escondido

It's just like dropping by another friend's casa — if your friend happens to be Francis Ford Coppola. The comfortable living room is decorated with contemporary paintings, tribal masks, woven tapestries, and the director's photography book collection. The proper breakfast spread includes mate, bold coffees, eggs, fresh fruits, and breads. Before setting out, soak your feet in the pool.

10. Hub Porteño

Antique furniture mixes with modern design in this 11-room townhouse that doesn’t feel like a hotel so much as a grand family home. More than a place to lay your head, it’s an experience. On-call experts are ready to accommodate (and inspire) your every whim — from learning to tango to riding horses on an estancia.
