"How did it strike you on arrival? Set in a Neoclassical building close to Galerias Pacifico, Esplendor's white walls, floating staircase, and massive portraits of Argentine icons like Che Guevara and Eva Perón lend the hotel an art gallery vibe. Nice. What’s the crowd like? Because it is located close to the pedestrian- and shopping-friendly Calle Florida as well as office towers, the hotel attracts a mixed bag of execs in town for business as well as couples from Brazil and other Latin American countries in town on a shopping spree. The good stuff: Tell us about your room. All somewhat different, the rooms are decorated in pastel colors and have a mix of contemporary and mid-century modern furniture, such as Bertoia steel-mesh chairs. Some rooms feature separate tub and showers. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase? The bigger suites have hot tubs in the bedrooms, a nice touch if you're into that kind of thing. The WiFi is free and works as expected. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you. A game room is outfitted with a pool table, a variety of board games, as well as Nintendo and other electronic games. The hotel is pet friendly. Bottom line: worth it, and why? This mid-range hotel is worth checking in thanks to a good location close to various shopping options, great service, and fresh decor." - Celeste Moure
