Tango de Mayo Hotel
The staff were extremely helpful and speaking English. They were able to arrange a cab for us on arrival to BA airport which was very reassuring. Very clean hotel and room. Would love to have able to use the bar in the evening but it shut at 5pm. Would highly recommend if considering staying.

NH Collection Buenos Aires Centro Histórico
Fantastic hotel, with a welcoming staff, big rooms, comfy beds and a great shower. Breakfast was phenomenal with many options to choose from. We didn’t use the pool (too cold) but it looks promising. It’s based in the newer part of town, so many fancy restaurants around.

Pleno Madero
Check-in with Rodolfo, the Brazilian gentleman, was fabulous. The rest of the staff was very friendly and polite. The location is spectacular, easy walking distance to the Puerto Madero restaurants as well as various ministries and the Casa Rosada.
