Hub Porteño

22 Best Hotels in Buenos Aires

"You don't just book a room at this hotel: it's an entire experience that includes a concierge team that will book your dinner reservations, score you tickets to the polo match or opera at Teatro Colon, and point you in the right direction of the coolest bar for a craft cocktail. From the outside, it looks like any other apartment building in ritzy Recoleta. But step inside and you're greeted by the friendly staff who show you around the place like it's their very own apartment. The decor is Art Deco meets boho chic and every piece of furniture is positioned just so. In the afternoon, guests gather in the terrace for tea service. Each of the 11 rooms is entirely unique and decorated with vintage furniture, wool textiles, cowhide rugs, and beds with leather headboards. A color scheme of creamy whites and chocolate browns is dreamy." - Celeste Moure

"Guests of the 11-room Hub Porteño in Recoleta don’t just reserve a room here, they are setting up their experience of the city. The hotel staff are intent on making sure, for example, that a guest understands the polo match they've brought him to or that a guest can glimpse a bit of gaucho culture in the countryside. Mirroring the experiences, the contemporary decor of each room is unique. Each blends a mix of vintage furnishings from local auctions with art on loan from the Fortabat Art Collection. A stylish living room serves as a meeting place for guests with its library, afternoon tea, and snacks sent out from the kitchen. The rooftop is home to a cozy terrace lined with comfy sofas and a bartender serving cocktails amid leafy views of the neighborhood, while the on-site restaurant from an el Bulli–trained chef features a fig tree growing right through its center."

Hub Porteño, Buenos Aires, Argentina - Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"How did it strike you on arrival? From the outside, it looks like any other apartment building in ritzy Recoleta. But step inside and you're greeted by the friendly staff who show you around the place like it's their own apartment. The decor is Art Deco-meets-boho-chic, and every piece of furniture is positioned just so. In the afternoon, guests gather in the terrace for tea service. The good stuff: Tell us about your room. Each of the 11 rooms is entirely unique and decorated with vintage furniture, wool textiles, cowhide rugs, and beds with leather headboards. A color scheme of creamy whites and chocolate browns is dreamy. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies? You don't just book a room at this hotel: it's an entire experience that includes a concierge team that will book your dinner reservations, score you tickets to the polo match or opera at Teatro Colon, and point you in the right direction of the coolest bar for a craft cocktail. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you. Through the old-fashioned wood-paneled bar, past the ultra-modern restaurant with a tree running through it (and a former El Bulli chef manning the burners), and finally up to your room, this hotel puts to shame the slapped-together "design hotels" in other parts of town. Bottom line: worth it, and why? You're paying for a concierge team who'll book whatever experiences you desire while visiting Buenos Aires, be they an authentic asado in a nearby estancia, a behind-the-scenes tour of Teatro Colon, or a private tango lesson with a master dancer. The room is included with the curated experience." - Celeste Moure
