Nicknamed Argentina’s ‘Little Paris’ thanks to it architecture borne of the French wave of immigration in the 19th century, Recoleta is a smart neighbourhood that is as diverse as it is elegant. It’s most famous as the resting place of one of Argentina’s greatest icons, Eva Perón, whose tomb can be found at the equally iconic Recoleta Cemetery – an absolute must-visit for any visitor.
With its historic buildings – including Parisian-style townhouses, former palaces and museums – many of the area’s most impressive hotels are places where past meets the present in glorious fashion. If you’re after something more contemporary, then there are stylish urban options too – and as the capital’s artistic heartland, Recoleta even boasts several with their own on-site galleries. If you’re planning a longer stay, there’s a raft of good, self-catered apartments too. Our pick of the best hotels in Recoleta has them all!
