Alvear Palace Hotel, Buenos Aires


A top destination for high society, the Alvear Palace Hotel is a landmark in its refined neighbourhood of upscale shops and embassies; not surprisingly, this five-star hotel is a popular draw for visiting heads of state. Living up to its name, the Alvear does indeed afford a palatial experience, specializing in the kind of traditional style and opulence that sophisticated guests appreciate. From the first glance at its beaux arts façade—created mostly from imported French materials—it’s understood that this is a hotel unlike any other in the city.

Once you make your way into the lobby, with its elegant marble floors, dazzling chandeliers, and rich furnishings, your experience can truly commence. It’s difficult to know where to start: the swank restaurants and bars that provide a haven for well-heeled visitors, a luxurious spa that lifts the spirit and relaxes the body, the wellness area with a shimmering pool and sensations path, or the fully-equipped business centre. The hotel even provides a personal shopper who will make purchases for you or accompany you on your journey as an advisor.

More than half of the rooms in the hotel are suites, a testament to the posh clientele that frequents the Alvear Palace. The sumptuous décor features Empire, Louis XV, and Louis XVI pieces that are complemented by the many objets d’art in the rooms and the private collection of Argentine art in the suites. The Royal Suite has the feel of a Parisian apartment and offers the ultimate in luxurious appointments: two Italian marble bathrooms, sauna, reception area, kitchen with private entrance, and crystal and bronze chandeliers.

Dining
The four restaurants and bars at the hotel specialize in memorable meals and exciting encounters. Alvear Palace’s signature restaurant, La Bourgogne, prepares the finest French food in the city, as well as the best international dishes from around the world—and is the only Relais & Gourmand eatery in Argentina. L´Orangerie is a beautiful setting for breakfast or lunch, turning out food made from fresh local products and enjoyed within a soothing atmosphere. The refined, wood-paneled Lobby Bar offers an appetizer menu and outstanding drinks. The Cigar Bar caters to a variety of passions, from top-notch cigars to gourmet chocolates to the finest liquors.
Spa
The Alvear Spa & Fitness Center is an oasis of serene comforts, where every sense is heightened and uplifted. The menu items include heavenly massages, detoxifying body wraps, anti-aging facials, rejuvenating scrubs, and more. The facilities also include a heated swimming pool, a sensations path composed of different temperatures and water pressures, steam baths, saunas, pressure showers, relaxation rooms, and high-tech fitness centre with the latest equipment and multiple television screens.
