Magnolia Hotel Boutique

We had the best experience staying at Magnolia. This was my second stay and it was just as exceptional as I remembered. The hotel is unique (in a good way), and the service is excellent. The area is perfect, with close access to many restaurants, bars and shopping. Truly a quaint, classy, and comfortable hotel. I would recommend to everyone, including my friends and family. Well done!

The hotel is located in the barrio of Palermo and surrounded by little coffee shops and very good restaurants. The rooms are spacious and elegant: it is an old patrician house turned into a hotel. The staff is kind and helpful. It was a pleasure to spend a few days there.

We have just completed a fantastic7 night stay at this Boutique Hotel. Where do I start with my superlatives? First of all to put things in perspective, we have travelled the world and stayed in many fancy hotels but the special part of our stay at Magnolia was the amazing service provided by Eli, Michaela, Ari, Laura & Francisco. Any request or question was answered promptly and with a huge smile and often going beyond what would be required in any job. ||The hotel itself is gorgeous, well located in the Palermo district and close to all the transport routes. Breakfast was beautifully presented and served individually. I could go on and on but everything I would say would be positive.

Beautiful hotel with only a few rooms, in a building full of character. However what sets this hotel apart is the service - the team cannot do enough to make you feel welcome and as comfortable as possible. Nothing is too much trouble and they are very proactive in personalising the service to your circumstances. Highly recommend!

A beautiful, comfortable hotel with a delicious breakfast, made extremely special because of the superb staff! Mica, Elly and their colleague ( who made us tea at 5am before an early flight!) were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. |This is a hotel we would love to return to.

We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, elegant atmosphere of the Magnolia Inn. The room was very comfortable and the breakfasts were delightful. The desk was staffed with courteous, helpful personnel at all times. The laundry service worked well for us. We highly recommend this establishment to anyone who enjoys a peaceful, high end experience.

The Magnolia hotel is a gem in Palermo! Not only are the rooms comfortable and roomy, but they are beautiful! The customer service is the best! Everyone was extremely helpful. Mica was fantastic! She was great! Her recommendations for restaurants were always very good! We loved the Magnolia!

Nice combination of traditional building and modern appointments. Comfortable, quiet, and the staff is wonderful. Their Englush is very good, and they are very accommodating. The Palermo district is arguably the nicest part of town, and close to AEP airport. Will stay there again next time in BA.

Amazing wonderful small 8 room hotel. Staying here is the closest place to being invited to a very clean well updated home of a friend. Highly recommend and look forward to staying there again.

From the street the hotel looks like just a door with manual door knockers. You have to ring a doorbell and then they come let you in. There's someone at the front desk (with cameras) 24/7. The hotel itself looks like a big house. There's a largish waiting area and then a small dining area right outside a door that leads to the rooms. The room we had was spacious. We were told it's the biggest one there. There's a patio which we didn't use because it was cold and it doesn't have a view. The room smelled a little funny, kind of musty with a plant smell. The sheets also smelled so we used our own blankets. The shower was nice and hot and had good shower pressure. The floor of the shower gets so wet it doesn't until houskeeping comes. I hated the toilet. It was so high I could barely touch the floor with my toes and the angle was no good. Also, when we arrived, our room was so cold and wouldn't heat up. We asked and they gave us a fan heater we used the first night. The next day we found a radiant heater in our room, which was really nice. The staff at the hotel are nice. Breakfast was simple- some bread, made to order eggs and juice. We made the mistake of not asking the price of water and at check out found out it was super expensive. Recommend buying water elsewhere. There isn't much of anything outside the hotel. We were able to walk to Don Julio but were recommended to take a taxi back. There's a small store nearby to buy water but no prices listed so you have to ask, which seems strange. If I ever come back, which is unlikely, I would probably look for a different place to stay. The room just felt dark and depressing and the location isn't particularly good. A lot of reviews mention the service and I agree they are nice, but nothing exceptional.

I stayed here for three nights and it was lovely. The staff were incredibly helpful, recommending good places to eat nearby, describing local attractions, and even booking our ferry tickets to Uruguay! The breakfast was simple but very good. Lots of fun restaurants, bars, and shopping a short walk from the front door. I'd guess there are much cheaper options, but I'm happy we chose Magnolia.

This was home for two nights during a visit to Buenos Aires at New Years. The hotel is located on a side street in the Palermo neighborhood, but is a short walk to a main thoroughfare like Av. Scalabrini Ortiz (which has a metro stop for your public transportation needs). Upon entering the lobby, there is a vintage feel that permeates. Check in took a little bit of time, as there had been some power issues in the neighborhood and the internet was firing back up. The room was located on one of the upper floors and was spacious. Antique furniture appointed the room. There was a large armoir, complete with a safe, for storage. The room had air conditioning, which was definitely a must as it was relatively warm and the room would otherwise have been stuffy. Breakfast each morning was fantastic. Eggs were made to order (complete with a side order of ham if you wanted), a variety of fresh fruit was available, and a nice selection of beverages (tea, juice, coffee). The hotel also has a small roofdeck, which was a nice place to hang out and observe the neighborhood's rooftops at night. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. If you are traveling over the holidays, as we were, we got great assistance in how to hail a cab (as reservations were not available to be made). Additionally, when airline websites and online check-in showed some incomplete information, the front desk called the airline and was able to confirm the details of an upcoming flight (sadly my Spanish is non-existent). Overall, a little pricey but the service was attentive. Neighborhood is desirable for restaurants and bars, though not much in the immediate area as this hotel has a residential feel to the environs.

The photo posted here is NOT a photo of the hotel. The outside of the hotel really only has a cute little sign and a big, awesome wooden door with an intercom buzzer to the right of the door. We booked 3 nights here. Had never been to BA. This is a grand little hotel. Small yet charming. Really charming! The room we had was Room #2. Very good sized room. Large king bed. Great air conditioning which we totally appreciated. The breakfasts come with the room and are really lovely. Croissants/breads/yogurt/granola/eggs cooked the way you like them, fruits (and the fruits are insanely good)/juices (again - insanely good), matte tea, coffees. The service is top shelf. Francisco was a doll and answered many questions for us. Alex helped us book a last minute dinner/tango show (I don't remember the venue but it had the name "Angels" in it. DO IT. It's an okay dinner, but an amazing show. Very sexy and wonderful and classy and professional. We LOVED it!). He also helped us figure out the hop on/hop off bus. It says they run every 20 minutes. As we were told by both Francisco and Alex, nothing really runs on time in BA. So sit back and relax and take the hop on/hop off tours to see what sections of BA you want to explore on foot. This little boutique hotel is a charmer. We walked all over every day and never felt unsafe. Enjoy! And say hola to Francisco and Alex from us!
