Tucked away in the upmarket residential barrio (suburb) of Tres Cerritos, this peaceful
place makes relaxation easy. Exquisite rooms, suites and public areas surround a small
garden with heated pool; the higher grades come with views and their own Jacuzzi.
Decks with city vistas make perfect spots for a sundowner from the honesty bar. It nor-
mally doesn't take kids under 12.

The elegant rooms, some faithful to the style of this noble old Salta house,
some with a lightly-worn indigenous theme, are reason enough to book in at this tranquil
central retreat, particularly if you grab one of the downstairs ones with their own se-
cluded bamboo-strewn patio. Courteous service and an atmosphere of refined relaxation
are other high points. No under 12s.

We're not 100% sure whether the look of this place - all exposed concrete and urban-
trendy design - works in a colonial city such as Salta, but it's an undeniably attractive
space. The excellent, quiet rooms have hydromassage tubs and almost floor-to-ceiling
windows offering super town views. The rooftop pool-and-spa space is another great spot
to linger over the vistas. Service is willing and the restaurant is very good.

Salta's most upmarket big hotel is visible, for better or
worse, from the whole city. The rooms are slick and modern, and get pricier and larger as
you move higher up the building. There are all the five-star facilities, including a tour
desk, and English-speaking service is efficient.
