Alvear Palace Hotel

Beautiful Hotel with a gorgeous atmosphere. The Lobby Bar takes you back in time and really captures the architecture of the building. Great food all around!

Exellent hotel. The elegant lobby. The beautiful rooms, the service, attention received by everyone made our stay perfect!

We had 2 nights here before a cruise to Antarctica and wished we had stayed elsewhere. The property is grand and its public spaces are opulent. It is prohibitively expensive for what is provided. Hotel rooms are large but showing their age. No tea and coffee making facilities and very dated bathroom fixtures… Imagine a bathroom that Trump’s mother decorated in gilt in the 1970s. The F&B options were limited with no restaurant options at all on a Monday night. Service is transactional. Drinks in the lobby bar were excellent but prohibitively priced (over $100 for a martini and Bloody Mary). Avoid - there are many better options in the city.

This hotel has that old-world elegance, great service, and a location walkable to restaurants and attractions. The bed was neither comfortable or luxury. It was a spring mattress without a pillowtop, and it was old. The bed was also not a modern platform bed; it felt dated and old. The rooms were nice, and we had a suite with two bathrooms. The showers were on the smaller side and single sink, so it was great to have two. The carpet in the room was dirty, and I hate carpet in hotel rooms; it feels unclean. There was no minibar, snacks, or coffee maker. The hotel has great spaces, but they weren't all operational; the rooftop is only open on certain days, as well as the grill. The hotel was full; this is not customer-centric. What really disappointed me was that on new year,s the bar was closed and so was the rooftop. We climbed out there to see the fireworks, but what a missed opportunity to use the space. They need to update the rooms and beds. When the hotel is full, all the spaces should be open and staffed.

Excellent top class hotel. Beautiful decor lots of marble and polished brass. Very nice restaurant but closed Sunday and Monday. Good breakfast buffet. Spacious comfortable bedroom. Only possible drawback was that there were only two or three restaurants within easy walking distance but taxis are cheap so this might not be a problem.
