15 Best Hotels in Recoleta, Buenos Aires

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!

For historic splendour

Housed inside a classic French mansion, Hotel Club Frances has beautiful oil paintings adorning the walls, and period furniture and sculptures that make for a very grand entrance indeed. Just 28 rooms are available, all done in a traditional style with plenty of antiques alongside the mod cons.
Hosting celebrities, dignitaries and politicians galore, Alvear Palace is possibly the most iconic hotel in Argentina and even across the entire South American continent. A truly old-world experience, light-filled rooms are furnished with extravagant art and antiques, while the bar and infinity pool enjoy extraordinary views across the cityscape.
A Belle Epoque era mansion complete with landscaped gardens and Roman-style pool, Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires enjoys opulent aesthetics blended with contemporary design in the modern 12-storey tower. As you’d expect from the brand: excellent service and attentive staff – and what you might not: the achingly hip bar Pony Line hosting international DJs. The best of both worlds if that’s your scene.
Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt Buenos Aires is a 1930s neoclassical mansion on a tree-lined street, with the whole nine yards inside – glittering crystal chandeliers and marble floors, along with its own art gallery, afternoon tea offering, and spa with enormous pool. Worth splashing out on.
A luxurious townhouse hotel, Aldogon Mansion is in fact a six-storey mansion with architecture that’s a prime example of the city’s classical style. Just ten suites with furnishings in silk, leather and wood are attended to by private butlers and chefs. A sophisticated choice.

Location, location, location

A good-value, centrally located boutique offering, Blank Hotel has spacious, bright rooms – but is still a quiet spot too, which may be a relief after a day out. Just a short walk from some of the top sights in the city, along with world-class shopping and restaurants and of course the famous cemetery.
Sileo is another brilliant boutique option with bags of great features, from a rooftop pool and sauna to its own on-site gallery. It’s also just a 15-minute walk from the cemetery, along with local parks, landmarks and designer shops just minutes away. Try and score a room with a terrace, as many have wonderful views across the city.
A great crashpad to explore the city – and a neighbour to the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires (MALBA), and the vibrant bars of Junin street – Loi Suites offers simple and whitewashed rooms, plus a small spa and a restaurant serving seasonally changing menus.

For contemporary style

Wine meets wellness at the charming Mio Buenos Aires where the super-smart interiors include beautiful textural design of metal, marble, glass and wood. The boutique hotel also hosts a well-heeled crowd at its Verdot Wine Bar while guests can relax in the luxurious spa.
Chic design hotel Libertad Buenos Aires is the perfect launch pad for exploring some of the most exclusive parts of the capital. Rooms boast floor-to-ceiling windows and luxurious bathrooms. Its beautiful indoor courtyard and landscaped gardens are the perfect spot to take a breather from a day out and about in the city, and there's a spoiling spa.
A small but stunning property with elegant furnishings of rosewood and wall fabrics, Casasur Recoleta is an aesthete’s dream. It's in a prime location too, surrounded by some of the smartest residences and museums in the city.
Ce Hotel Diseno is a minimalist design hotel, whose rooms feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows with fantastic views over Rodriguez Peña Square. You can expect striking furniture and mostly white decor, plus many rooms are equipped with balconies or hot tubs.
Experience-led boutique hotel Hub Porteno sees the cost of your stay including the use of a concierge team who can organise everything for you. Interiors are bohemian-meets-Art Deco, with rooms boasting a mélange of gorgeous textures – from leather to cowskins.

For long stays

Each of Casa Bevant’s modern self-catering open-plan studios has a balcony, while a pleasant roof terrace is a great place to relax after a day exploring nearby attractions such as Plaza Franci, Nuestra Señora del Pilar church and Recoleta Cultural Centre, along with some of the city’s most upscale boutiques.
A good-value option, AQ Tailored Suites boast Nordic-style decor with a rooftop terrace and outdoor pool. Super close to some of the city’s best sights including the Obelisk of Buenos Aires and Basilica del Santisimo Sacramento, along with cultural sites like museums and theatres. Basic kitchenette facilities in the suites ensure you can eat in too.
