This Buenos Aires institution is a sumptuous luxury hotel with a prestigious history and glitzy guest list.

Situated in the fashionable Recoleta district of Buenos Aires, the opulent and highly prestigious Alvear Palace Hotel boasts an illustrious guest list. Enjoy luxurious rooms, an elegant restaurant and regal public areas.
