Buenos Aires
Alvear Palace Hotel
Since 1932, Alvear Palace Hotel has held a central place in the history of luxury hospitality in Buenos Aires. Located on Avenida Alvear in the heart of Recoleta, it combines European-inspired architecture with a tradition of refined service that has made it one of the city's great classics.
Its interiors retain the palatial character of the building, with grand salons, marble, chandeliers and decorative details inspired by the Empire and Louis XV styles. On the upper floors, the hotel also offers more contemporary suites and terraces with open views over Recoleta.
The experience is completed by restaurants and bars, a spa, heated indoor pool, wellness area and one of the neighborhood's most attractive rooftops.
Location
Alvear Palace is located at Avenida Alvear 1891 in Recoleta, one of Buenos Aires' most elegant neighborhoods. It is surrounded by historic architecture, parks, galleries, cafés and restaurants, and lies within easy reach of some of the city's leading museums and cultural spaces. Its location makes much of Recoleta walkable and works especially well for a first stay in Buenos Aires.
The Accommodation
Rooms and suites combine the hotel's classical language with renovated areas of contemporary design. Categories begin with 30 m² Palace Classic rooms and extend to grand suites such as the 95 m² Roof Garden Suite, with a terrace and views over Recoleta's parks.
The culinary offering includes L'Orangerie, the traditional Lobby Bar, Alvear Grill and Alvear Roof Bar on the 11th floor overlooking Avenida Alvear.
The wellness area features a spa, sauna, steam rooms, Jacuzzi, pressure showers, relaxation rooms, gym and a heated indoor pool with solarium.
Why We Like It
Because it is part of the identity of Buenos Aires. More than a luxury hotel, Alvear represents a classic and elegant way of experiencing the city, deeply tied to the history and character of Recoleta.
We particularly recommend it to travelers seeking grand-hotel hospitality, traditional service and a privileged location, while its newer suites and terraces also bring a contemporary dimension to that heritage.
It adds something distinct to the ACP selection: alongside nature lodges and small boutique hotels, Alvear offers the ritual and sophistication of a true grand hotel.
