"When people say that Buenos Aires is the Paris of South America, surely the hotel that comes to mind is the Alvear. Old-school luxury takes on new meaning since the refurbishing and renovations that took place in 2016. New to the hotel are modern suites in the top two floors, and on the rooftop, a generous spa, a pool and a bar with jaw-dropping views of the neighborhood. The breakfast buffet is perhaps the best in the city. And Afternoon Tea at L'Orangerie is everything you might imagine high tea to be: white-gloved service, delicate dishes and trays filled with scones, and perfect little sandwiches, tantalizing pastries, and tea served in gilded cups." - Celeste Moure
