In an exquisite combination European elegance and modern technology, the décor of the 197 rooms and suites of the Alvear Palace Hotel is Empire, Louis XV and Louis XVI style.

Objets d’art are on display in each of their rooms and suites, giving them a sophisticated air that make them unique, while the works of well-known Argentine artists from the hotel’s private collection enhance the décor of their exclusive suites.

-Review by expert travel columnist Paul Rubio

Those keen on formality, tradition, and majesty will achieve nirvana at Alvear Palace, a long-standing favorite of Travel & Leisure magazine, Conde Nast magazine, and global bourgeoisie. This is the place where politicians make decisions over coffee, visiting celebrities interact with heads of state at teatime, and casual visitors attempt to camouflage into the French palace theme.

The museum-like qualities of the Louis XV inspired lobby and hallways, the august rooms (replete with high ceilings, soft lighting, fresh cut flowers, and a continuation of the Louis XV/XIV French décor) and the staff to guest ratio (2:1) dutifully distinguish the hotel as a repeat entry to global Top 10 lists.  Most recently, Alvear Palace has stepped up its game with a new state-of-the-art spa and heated indoor pool, reached trough a passageway to the adjacent building.
