Alvear Art Hotel is a 5-star hotel located in the Centro neighborhood of the beautiful city of Buenos Aires. The hotel has a 5-star feeling when you walk in with marble and granite adorning the walls and floor of the grand lobby. There is a door attendant to help with luggage or just to say hi. The front desk staff is very friendly and accommodating. I even saw one or two of the front desk employees with Michelin pins, indicating a higher level of training and performance. Off the lobby, in a sunken level is the restaurant and bar. My room was well appointed with higher quality furnishings that mirrored the decor of the lobby with darker woods and muted, earth toned colors, which felt a bit outdated. My room had a safe and refrigerator (not stocked) but no iron or ironing board. There was a Nespresso coffee maker but two days in a row, no coffee capsules were left. I had to call to the front desk to get capsules delivered and they seemed a bit annoyed with my request. The bathroom was well lit and included a rain head shower and separate bathtub and toilet area as well as two sinks. Sadly, this hotel still uses single use toiletry items (shampoo, conditioner, etc.). The single use bottles are shaped in such a way that it is difficult to get the product out of the container and they don’t smell or feel very luxurious. The bar hand soap is equally bland. The bed was comfortable with good quality cotton sheets and nice feather pillows, though I like having at least one foam pillow to use as a base for my feather pillow. The air conditioning was great. I tend to run a bit hot and like my room on the colder side. I set the thermostat to the lowest temperature (19 C), but it felt colder than that. I was very comfortable. The housekeeper did an excellent job of tidying my room each day though they were very noisy when cleaning the room next to mine that kept me from sleeping in that morning. The hotel advertises itself as a 5-star hotel. The rooms could use a refresh, and the toiletry items could also be updated. It just does not quite feel like a 5-star experience but with a little effort I think they could easily get there. It is for those reasons that I will be rating this hotel with 4 stars.

Stayed in the Alvear Art for three nights and an enjoyable stay it was too. Room was large, clean and comfortable with a lovely large bathroom that had a separate "jacuzzi" bath as well as a separate walk-in shower. Hotel staff were approachable and friendly, providing a nice service at breakfast and in the bar area. The reception staff were helpful also, advising on check in and the local area. The hotel is in a good location and you can walk to many areas from it, in a safe environment. Really enjoyed our stay here and when we left we felt refreshed and ready for the rest of our trip

Great sleeping. Restaurant stays open late. Helpful staff. Close to business district; take a taxi to Madero area. Nice gym. Pool has awesome view.

We are here for a conference. Our assigned room was still occupied so we were upgraded! The room was spacious and hot running water was available on demand. They have a nespresso coffee maker! Separate bathtub shower and water closet was available. Breakfast was very good though it was the same everyday. We are also close to a lot of shopping area. Overall a very nice experience!

Service exceptional and professional, staff went above and beyond. They checked in the room. I also loved this facility as it was so central. You could walk everywhere downtown, close to restaurants. Beautiful artwork throughout the hotel. The wait staff at the bar and restaurant were very helpful.
