Towering over the western end of Parque Urquiza, this sleek
modern hotel has a rare combination of style and warm-hearted personal service. Try to
get a room as high up as possible, for city or river views. All the rooms are very spacious
and decorated with flair; the 'presidential' suites (AR$1080) are big enough to get lost in
and boast a Jacuzzi with memorable vistas over the water.

Fine service is a major plus at this large hotel on the main square, Plaza 1 de Mayo.
There are two grades of room, all recently refurbished and spacious. If you don't mind a
bit of traffic noise, try for a balcony on the square. Massages and Pilates are available,
and there's a high-quality restaurant.

The long curved
facade of this remodeled five-star dominates the waterfront from above. All the rooms
face the river, are very spacious, and offer great views from large windows. A little bit
extra gets you a balcony, but those rooms are lower down. There's an indoor and outdoor
pool, spa, gym and a large casino. You'll find better rates online.
