This is a beautiful property but something’s are missing that you would expect from a 5 star hotel. The first time we checked in the room they gave us had a smell. We refused that room and they gave us a much better room but someone must have known that the room had an issue. The second time we checked in the shower in the bathroom literally had no pressure. They sent the plumber twice but the issue was not fixed. Not sure why we were given these special rooms but keeping that aside a 5 star service needs to be way beyond this. The room service menu could be expanded to give the international guests more options.

I stayed at Alvear Palace for four nights. The hotel is in the upscale Recoleta neighborhood, close to the cemetery and high end shops. It has a grand old-world vibe to it...feels a bit like stepping back in time. I had room 638 which did not face the street. The large room was in three sections, an office space, living room and bedroom. Even though there was just one window the overhead chandeliers were bright. The bed linens were embossed and newish...as were the towels. There weren't as many power outlets as is typical in a more modern hotel and some of the light fixtures were crooked or damaged. And the pillows were feathered but it would have been nice to have a menu to change if I wanted foam or hypoallergenic. The bathroom was large with a standalone shower, tub, toilet and bidet. There is a grate under the sink where you can hear the water from the sink and shower drain into...startled me at first as I thought the room was flooding. It wasn't, but that is something we dont have in American bathrooms. The shower pressure was glorious but the shower head was unfocused so water went everywhere. I asked them to have maintenance take a look and when I got back to my room I had a new shower head that worked perfectly. The breakfast buffet was not extensive but the food was hot and tasty. They had fresh toast, scrambled eggs, bacon/sausage, vegetables, cold cuts, fruit and an assortment of breads/pastries. Omlettes cost extra and were made to order

I'm not sure that I have ever stayed in a hotel that felt as "grand" as this one (and I have stayed in many luxury hotels). Our room was fantastic (it was a Mirador junior suite; the view was outstanding, and I hear that you really want to stay in the recently-renovated area of the hotel). The pool was relaxing, rooftop bar great, and breakfast the best I've ever had. Next time I come back to BA, I won't stay anywhere else.

Alvear Palace Buenos Aires supposedly the best hotel in BA looks grand but dated, spa area downstairs away from the main pool. The terrace bar only opened at certain times. Rooms are tired, by far one of the most dated bathrooms I’ve stayed in for a long time. Location in Recoleta is good but that’s the only positive I have there are many better options in Buenos Aires 6/10. I’d recommend hotel Casa Lucia, or Hotel Mio if you want to be in Recoleta modern rooms, great breakfast a more relaxing hotel.
