Best Time to Visit

Spring (September to November) and fall (March to May) are absolutely magical in Buenos Aires. The weather’s just right – not too hot, not too cold – and the hotel rates tend to be more reasonable. I stayed here last October and the temperature was perfect for exploring the neighborhood on foot. Summer months (December to February) can get pretty steamy, but the hotel’s excellent AC system keeps things comfortable. Winter (June to August) brings cooler temps and fewer tourists, which means better deals on room rates.

How to Get There

From Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Ezeiza), you’ve got several options. A taxi ride takes about 45 minutes, depending on traffic – and believe me, Buenos Aires traffic can be quite the adventure! The hotel can arrange private transfers if you prefer a more streamlined arrival. If you’re feeling adventurous, the Manuel Tienda León bus service runs from the airport to their terminal, and from there it’s just a short taxi ride to the hotel. Coming from the domestic airport, Aeroparque Jorge Newbery? You’re looking at a much quicker 20-minute drive.

Tips for Visiting

Book your room on a higher floor if possible – the views are way better and you’ll avoid any street noise. The corner rooms are especially nice, with extra windows letting in tons of natural light. Don’t skip breakfast; the medialunas (Argentine croissants) are absolutely delicious and the coffee is top-notch.

Ask the front desk staff for restaurant recommendations – they really know their stuff and can point you to some hidden gems in the neighborhood. I found this amazing little empanada place thanks to their suggestion! If you’re planning to use the hot tub, evenings tend to be less crowded.

The hotel’s central location means you can walk to many attractions, but keep some cash handy for taxis – they’re not all equipped for credit cards. Oh, and definitely grab one of the complimentary city maps from reception – they’re actually pretty detailed and super helpful for getting around.

Make sure to join their loyalty program if you’re planning an extended stay – you can rack up some decent perks. And here’s a pro tip: rooms ending in 04 tend to be slightly larger than others in the same category. During peak season (like during tango festivals), book at least three months ahead to secure the best rates and room choices.

Remember to bring an adapter for your electronics – the hotel has a few to lend, but they’re usually all checked out. And if you’re a light sleeper, requesting a room away from the elevator might help you get a better night’s rest.
