Alvear Palace

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Alvear Palace

In the heart of the Recoleta district, epicenter of aristocratic Porteño life, this landmark residence was officially designated a Historic Monument of the Argentine capital. It’s hosted the likes of Al Pacino and the Rolling Stones over the years, and behind its Parisian-style façade, the interiors are infused with Empire-era spirit, defined by distinctive furnishings and fabrics. The guest rooms echo this atmosphere, featuring crystal chandeliers, fine silks, and Louis XV artworks that anchor the space in the elegance of Old Europe. The hotel’s upper floors offer a more contemporary aesthetic, providing views over the park below. Alvear Grill offers an expertly crafted take on the traditional local parrilla, where grilled meats take centre stage. Sunday brunch at L’Orangerie, a winter garden set beneath a Belle Époque-style dome, draws the city’s most discerning crowd.

Accommodations

What we like

The Design

In the Royal Suite, a deliciously neoclassical bathroom, clad entirely in marble.

The Flavour

At the Roof Bar, the Buenos Aires sky takes on colours as Japanese as they are Argentine, over tiraditos and temaki.

The Drink

In the lobby, a Dionysian Malbec Sour to make you blush, if you're torn between a glass of wine and a cocktail.
