 About the Alvear Palace - in their own words:

In 1932 a classic was born in Buenos AIres, the Alvear Palace Hotel, a genuine palace right in the heart of the city. Constructed of materials imported from France, the hotel became one of the most characteristic buildings in town, strictly keeping the Louis XVI style.

From then on, a great many important people got lodged in its magnificent rooms.

Recently the hotel has been completely refurbished, sticking to the original glory.

Undoubtedly the hotel counts on a state-of-the-art technology and comfort to be the best choice for those who arrive and the best memory for those who depart.
