5 STAR LUXURY HOTEL • 85 ROOMS & 125 SUITES
A true palace that opened its doors in 1932, the Alvear Palace Hotel, is located in the heart of the Recoleta, the most refined quarter in Buenos Aires. Its impressive architecture and elegant decor distinguish the Alvear. An impressive list of guests includes the Emperor and Empress of Japan, the King and Queen of Spain, Jacques Chirac, Ted Turner, Sharon Stone, Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith, Kenzo and others. The birthplace of the tango, Argentina's capital city of Buenos Aires is often called the "Paris of South America", a reference to its wide boulevards lined with palatial mansions, open-air cafes on the fashionable Recoleta, flowers sold at colorful corner kiosks and world-class boutiques. But there is no mistaking the profound Latin spirit here, from the intense and beautiful tango of San Telmo's nightclubs to the famed and fertile Argentine plains - the pampa - which surround this exciting city.
Updated January 31, 2008 - Alvear Palace Hotel opened a new Alvear Spa & Fitness Center offering a range of treatments. The 8,600 square-foot Alvear Spa is designed with Italian Bizazza marble tiles and floors of Botticino, gold calacatta and yellow Valence marble. The reception area displays a trompe l'oiel oil painting with classic and contemporary French-style furniture. The spa features five treatment rooms, a wellness area and fitness area, as well as a beauty salon offering hairstyling, manicure and pedicure services.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
Must-see sites in Buenos Aires include the Casa Rosada (known for the balcony from which Evita rallied the working class crowds), the Obelisk, Recoleta neighborhood/Recoleta Cemetery and Teatro Colón (closing in late October 2006 for renovation). Stroll the embassy and jacaranda-lined Avenida del Libertador to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts National Museum).
Buenos Aires is often described as "The Paris of South America" because of its wonderful café life. Absorb the true culture of the city by socializing in the outdoor cafés, passing the day in a park with an ice cream or maté, the local herbal tea; exploring the unique neighborhoods and taking in a tango show and soccer match.
Buenos Aires was named the first UNESCO World Heritage "City of Design" in August 2005. The Dorrego Market in the Colegiales neighborhood, is a converted parking garage that presents regular shows of local housewares and clothing designers. Nearby Palermo SoHo is jam-packed with boutiques selling clothes by young Argentine designers. |
