Buenos Aires: Sofitel

Converted from a palatial neo-classical family home, this elegant art-deco hotel effortlessly captures the ambience of South America's most sophisticated capital city from the moment one approaches its soaring lobby.

Originally a family residence belonging to 1920s' aristocracy, it now has 144 guest rooms occupying some 20 floors. The décor within is a sympathetic blend of classic Argentine tradition and contemporary design, with French influences.

The Sofitel Buenos Aires is located in the Retiro neighbourhood of downtown Buenos Aires, just a few blocks from historic Plaza San Martin, the boutiques and restaurants of fashionable Recoleta, and the lively nightlife of downtown Buenos Aires.

Several members of our staff have stayed at or inspected the Sofitel Buenos Aires, and we frequently recommend it even to the most discerning of our clients.

The focal point of the city's historical centre is the Plaza de Mayo and adjacent Casa Rosada, from where Eva Peron made her famous speech. Nearby on the wide Avenida 9 de Julio is the elegant Teatro Colón, a world-renowned venue for opera, ballet and classical music.

Our Comment

A refined but relaxed atmosphere; excellent rooms.  It has atmosphere, elegance, classical style and chic modern appeal without having fallen for the over-used ‘design’ concept.
