Alvear Art Hotel (Buenos Aires, Argentina) 4 Hotel Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Here’s the surprising thing about the Alvear Art Hotel: in a town whose boutique hoteliers are all too often blind to everything beyond the visual, the Alvear is about as well-rounded a hotel as you’ll find anywhere, in Buenos Aires or otherwise. It’s proof that white walls and stripped-down rooms alone do not a “design hotel” make; function is as crucial as form. It’s a gorgeous hotel, to be sure — its airy, free-flowing public spaces all happy conspiracies of fine art, sunlight and gleaming marble — but it’s also a hotel where the rooms are quiet, the beds are dreamy and the bathrooms are big and bright. And where a concierge in a pressed black suit can point you to a good nearby bar or an up-and-coming restaurant without making you feel like you shouldn’t have to ask." - Tablet Hotels
