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.
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. (Avenida Alvear 1891, Buenos
