The 5 star hotels in Buenos Aires sound imposing, but besides beautiful places, each one with its own style, inside them you can find excellent restaurants, bars in beautiful terraces where you can watch the night fall while having a cocktail with someone special or just with friends. Better to know them and decide if at some point they can be an option for you.
1. Alvear Palace Hotel
The Alvear Palace Hotel is one of Buenos Aires’ benchmarks for 5-star hotels. It is located on Alvear Avenue, between Callao and on the other side, Plaza Francia, the Recoleta Cemetery and an ideal area to stroll and discover many of the green spaces that Buenos Aires has.
The Alvear Palace Hotel has 207 rooms decorated in a way that makes you think of a beautiful hotel in Paris, contemporary but also classic. The rooftop bar is one of the most important rooftop bars in Buenos Aires. But it also has L’Orangerie, a lounge where exquisite breakfasts and snacks are served, and the Lobby Bar, where you can have a drink in the afternoon and meet with someone special. If you want dinner or lunch with excellent service, then the Alvear Grill gives you that possibility. The Alvear Palace Hotel is the 5-star hotel in Buenos Aires par excellence for those looking for something classic. Its sister hotel, with more modern touches but equally luxurious, is the Alvear Icon, in Puerto Madero.

2. Four Seasons Hotel
The Four Seasons Hotel is also in Recoleta (in fact, just a few blocks away from the Alvear Palace Hotel). The Four Seasons Hotel has its most modern building on Posadas Street. You will recognize it by the metal sculptures of horses in the small garden at the entrance.
In fact, right next to its entrance you will find Pony Line, its bar where they serve excellent drinks and is famous for offering one of the best hamburgers in Buenos Aires.
At the time of international concerts, you will see the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel crowded with fans who come to support their artist and hope to take a picture. However, where the artists usually stay is in their mansion (on Cerrito Street). The Four Seasons Mansion is an early 20th century mansion with few rooms. This is one of the best 5 star hotels in Buenos Aires and it is where singers like Madonna or The Rolling Stones stayed.

3. Park Hyatt Hotel
Also on Posadas Street is another of the best 5 star hotels in Buenos Aires. The Park Hyatt Hotel. If you go down Posadas street you will see its entrance, austere, serious, you can tell it is a luxury hotel. However, you will only discover its secret if you enter the hotel and pass the lobby. Because first you will discover an imposing garden with stairs, a hidden park where you can have lunch or a snack. Even on Tuesdays, if you are a fan of gin and gin and tonics, you can experience the Botanical Tuesdays where you can try the gin and tonic and tapas bar.
If you continue through the Park Hyatt garden to the other side of the stairs you will come out into the Palacio Duhau, the palace that once belonged to the Duhau family and is now part of the Park Hyatt Buenos Aires. The Duhau Palace has an exit to Alvear Avenue and is also the choice of many artists who come to Buenos Aires looking for one of the best 5 star hotels in Buenos Aires and privacy.

4. Hilton Hotel
The 5 star hotels are concentrated in Recoleta but also in Puerto Madero. Near the river and across the bridge that connects both sides of Puerto Madero is the Hilton Hotel. This 5 star hotel is large, modern and has several gastronomic spaces for you to enjoy if you are staying at the hotel or if you just want to spend a different night in a different place. At Alberto’s Lobby Bar you have a combination of national and international cuisine in a place surrounded by Edgardo Madanes’ works.
El Faro Restaurant offers you the best of a wine cellar for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And obviously, being in Puerto Madero, if you don’t want to eat inside the Hilton Hotel, you are surrounded by restaurants to find what you want.

The Sofitel hotel is also on Posadas Street. Of all the 5 star hotels in Buenos Aires that are in Recoleta, the Sofitel is the one with the most modern touch. This tower has a beautiful garden where you can eat or just hang out and a very spacious entrance where you can enjoy a good snack or an excellent brunch accompanied by French-style pastries.

6. Faena Hotel
For the end we leave the Faena Hotel, for being the most extravagant. This 5-star hotel in Buenos Aires is located in Puerto Madero and you will recognize it because at the front door you will find the person who welcomes you to the hotel, dressed in an unusual way: a white coat and a cape, for example.
In addition to two restaurants (one with white unicorn heads on the walls), the Faena Hotel has a pool bar that you can go to at any time of the year and one of the best tango shows in Buenos Aires: Rojo Tango. It is a very exclusive and cabaret-style tango show where you have the stage very close to you and feel the dancers and musicians in a very special and immersive experience. From the rooms you can see the river and all of Puerto Madero.
