Nine Boutique Hotels to Know in Buenos Aires

We've chosen nine boutique hotels from the MICHELIN Guide selection, each with a different take on the Argentinian capital.

These Buenos Aires hotels are part of the Michelin Guide hotel selection. Each of the 6000+ hotels in the selection has been chosen by our experts for its extraordinary style, service, and personality — and each can be booked on the Michelin Guide website and app.

BE Jardin Escondido by Coppola
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Francis Ford Coppola reportedly fell in love with Buenos Aires while shooting the film Tetro in 2008, when he lived and worked in the spacious townhouse that’s now a boutique hotel known as BE Jardin Escondido. His latest hospitality venture is clearly a personal project that brings a few of his favorite things to the chic neighborhood of Palermo Soho — fine wines, small luxuries, and quiet corners to sit and write.

San Isidro Plaza
Buenos Aires, Argentina

For decades the leafy residential suburb of Buenos Aires known as San Isidro has been synonymous with porteño wealth and exclusivity — it’s the kind of place where handsome polo players hang out at sidewalk cafes and socialites walk their dogs by the river, and San Isidro Plaza Hotel perfectly reflects the quiet refinement of the neighborhood, complete with a private club atmosphere.

Algodon Mansion
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Algodon Mansion, though relatively new, already feels like a Recoleta fixture, so effortlessly does it match its luxe surroundings. Its ten suites, all different, mix period architectural detail with stylish modern comforts, and the vibe, posh but relaxed, is more akin to upscale apartment living than typical hotel formality.

Faena Hotel Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Brainchild of Argentinean fashion designer Alan Faena, the Faena Buenos Aires is unafraid to make some big waves, as much for the ambition of its universe-spanning concept and its location — converted from a grain warehouse on the gentrifying Puerto Madero Este waterfront — as for its design, courtesy of a rather familiar name: Philippe Starck.

Hotel del Casco
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Some Buenos Aires boutique hotels are perfectly stylish urban havens, while others are minimalist knockoffs that miss the mark. The Hotel del Casco, steeped in genteel history, doesn’t fit into either category. The palazzo was restored in 2003, but the building’s grand rooms, patios, and conservatory retain their original old-fashioned elegance.

Estancia La Bandada
San Miguel del Monte, Argentina

The countryside around Buenos Aires is dotted with traditional estancias, or ranches, many of which, like Estancia La Bandada, have been converted to hotels. This hacienda-like boutique hotel sits at the heart of a working farm; you’ll see grazing horses from your seat at the generously laid communal breakfast table. This low-key getaway radiates rustic charm

Alvear Palace Hotel
Buenos Aires, Argentina

There’s a certain set of tradition-bound travelers for whom every town, no matter how big, really has only one place to stay. In Buenos Aires, that hotel has more or less always been the Alvear Palace. It’s the high-society heart of Argentina, a place where bejeweled socialites gather to sip tea, and where a freshly pressed business suit would be perfectly fitting breakfast attire.

Legado Mitico
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Legado Mitico pays homage to Argentina’s history in a subtle, intelligent manner, and the result is a quirky, cool hotel with an added hook for well-read travelers. The individually themed guest rooms go beyond honoring the usual suspects like Eva Peron and Che Guevara — depending on your room, you’ll learn a thing or two about lesser-known legends like painter Benito Quinquela Martin, tango dancer Tita Merello, and millionaire art patron Victoria Ocampo.

Hotel Pulitzer Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Sister to the Pulitzer in Barcelona, the Buenos Aires version bears a pretty distinct family resemblance. With a bit over a hundred rooms it’s on the large side for a boutique, but on the small side for a business hotel. And though it’s a new build, and decidedly modern in aspect, its monochromatic palette and understated contemporary lines give it a look that’s not so very far from that of its Art Deco relation.
