The largest neighbourhood in Buenos Aires and one of the most popular, Palermo is divided into smaller quarters – all with their own distinct personalities – meaning there's something for every taste here. Shopping mecca Palermo Soho is lively and creative; Palermo Hollywood is named for its multitude of TV and film studios and is chock-a-block with fab restaurants. The sophisticated residential district of Palermo Chico is full of stunning houses and tree-lined streets; while Palermo Viejo is resplendent with old Spanish architecture, cobbled streets and lovely parks. When it comes to the best hotels in Palermo, small boutique hotels tend to make the accommodation scene here rather than the big chains, with some lovely spa and pool options and properties which make ideal crashpads for those exploring the sights nearby.
For contemporary style

- The chic rooms in Hotel Clasico feature chandeliers, arthouse photography and parquet flooring. The sophisticated restaurant Mooi is a lovely spot to dine in before heading out for a few drinks in the local bars nearby.
- Incredibly hip Palo Santo Hotel is unsurprisingly in one of the trendiest parts of town. Sleek rooms are adorned with modern art, and boast luxe bathrooms. Added bonuses are the rooftop pool with bar for drinks with a view and excellent Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian fusion) cuisine.
For a romantic getaway

- The former 1930s mansions that house Miravida Soho are located in a peaceful and verdant part of the otherwise lively Palermo Soho neighbourhood. Cosy but well-designed rooms and duplex suites are fitted with wooden floors, historic cast-iron balconies and chic furniture. A wine bar with tastings is a great opportunity for you and your other half to try some of Argentina's finest tipples together.
- Located in the charming Las Canitas area, 248 Finisterra has elegant light-filled rooms with pastel walls, antique wooden floors and 19th century-style furniture. A private lawn and roof terrace with hot tub and fireside lounge make for a homey, romantic feel.
- BE Hollywood! offers a range of rooms and self-catering lofts, all with contemporary decor of fresh white with hot pink touches, and some with balconies. Perfect for couples who can enjoy in-room massages, a stylish rooftop pool, terrace and barbecues with lovely city views.
For an urban bolthole

- Hip, intimate, and eco-friendly Mine Hotel Boutique is in the heart of Palermo Soho, on the doorstep of some of the neighbourhood's best bars and restaurants. Modern, bright interiors mean rooms feel at one contemporary and luxurious. Jetted tubs for two in the top rooms are the icing on the cake!

- Located in a heritage property, Rendez-Vous Hotel boasts rooms guided by feng shui philosophy; for something special book a deluxe suite with private terrace and jetted tub for two. Otherwise a shaded patio is a nice spot to relax in after exploring the nearby sights.
- Simple but comfortable, the Fierro Hotel rooms are all moody reds, graphite, and black, and are perfect if you're mostly out shopping in the nearby boutiques. Don't miss the wonderful on-site restaurant or roof terrace plunge pool and lovely garden.

For a spa break

Airy Rooms with parquet flooring are all well-lit with bright colourways and good fabrics, some with small sit out terraces.
For a peaceful sanctuary

For a particularly lovely pool

- Vibrant colours, white washed walls, vintage wallpaper and retro furniture amount to cool but understated vibes at Home Buenos Aires. Enjoy an Ayurvedic massage followed by a good cocktail beneath a leafy canopy by the stunning outdoor pool.
- Whilst Nuss Buenos Aires Soho may not have the largest pool in town, it's aestheticaly pleasing nonethless! Installed on a geranium-filled rooftop, it is the perfect place to watch glorious sunsets. With compact rooms and light, white decor, this is a little gem in vibrant Palermo Soho.
