"When people say that Buenos Aires is the Paris of South America, surely the hotel that comes to mind is the Alvear. Old-school luxury takes on new meaning since the refurbishing and renovations that took place in 2016. New to the hotel are modern suites in the top two floors, and on the rooftop, a generous spa, a pool and a bar with jaw-dropping views of the neighborhood. The breakfast buffet is perhaps the best in the city. And Afternoon Tea at L'Orangerie is everything you might imagine high tea to be: white-gloved service, delicate dishes and trays filled with scones, and perfect little sandwiches, tantalizing pastries, and tea served in gilded cups." - Celeste Moure
"A luxury hotel in Buenos Aires, famous for its opulent design and top-tier service." - Billie Cohen
"In Buenos Aires, that hotel has more or less always been the Alvear Palace." - MICHELIN Guide
"Alvear Palace Hotel in Buenos Aires earned the No. 8 spot. One voter called it 'the best place to stay in the country.'" - Samantha Falewée
"Alvear Palace The Alvear Palace is a Buenos Aires landmark. Dreamed up by businessman and socialite Dr. Rafael de Miero, who wanted to bring back 1920s Paris grandeur to his hometown, the hotel was erected in 1932 on the corner of Avenida Alvear andAyacucho after a decade of on-and-off construction. Then after much fanfare, it expanded in 1940, taking over an old mansion next door. For several decades, Alvear Palace was owned by the Duke of Hornes,a cousin of King Juan Carlos I, though Argentina’s economic situation saw the hotel’s reputation steadily decline. Since Anglo-Argentine developer David Sutton Dabbah (also co-owner of Patagonia’s Llao Llao Hotel & Resort) purchased the property in 1984, the Palace has been renovated and renovated again,top-to-bottom in 2011, which lowered the room count and revived the lavish Louis XV furnishings, and most recently in 2016, with the debut of sleek rooftop suites, an indoor pool, solarium, and a rooftop bar. Bathroom amenities are custom-made by Hermès. The lobby bar exudes Belle Epoque elegance, and many of the rooms, while still as picture-perfect as ever, could be mistaken for another century. There are touches of modern luxury in the spa, but over-the-top opulence is still the dominant theme running through the signature French restaurant and afternoon tea, as high society lingers."
