Almost too slick for San Telmo, this glass-fronted boutique hotel offers 12
beautiful rooms, all in different colors. All have either flat-screen or projection TV, and
bathrooms boast very contemporary design. The breakfast buffet happens in the basement
wine bar, and a tasting is included in your stay. There are also a large Jacuzzi, a dry sauna
and a fancy rooftop terrace with small lap pool.

The
busy avenue outside seems unlikely to offer such a paradise, but after you climb the stairs
you'll be surrounded by contemporary touches, from the grand piano in the living room to
the elegant dining nook in back. Six lovely rooms are available (including one with kit-
chenette), but the best features are the lush rooftop terraces, complete with San Telmo
views. Reserve ahead.
GUESTHOUSE
CASA Y MUNDO BOLIVAR $$

; Bolívar 1701; US$70-90; )
Fourteen spacious studios
and loft apartments with kitchenettes have been renovated into attractive modern spaces -
some with original details such as carved doorways or painted ceilings - at this amazing
mansion. Separate entrances join with hallways connecting through the complex, and
there are lovely garden patios in which to relax. No breakfast, but there's a cafe-restaur-
ant.
Línea C, Constitución, is the closest Subte stop, but consider taking a taxi here instead.
Three-day minimum stay; long-term guests preferred.

A grand lobby awaits you at this business-oriented, four-star
hotel. All rooms are lovely and spacious; standard ones have wooden floors, while higher
categories come with carpeting and sitting rooms. Some boast 9 de Julio views. There's a
pleasant, large patio in back, along with spa, gym, restaurant and two business salons;
plans are for a swimming pool by 2015.
