Alvear Palace Hotel is a French-style grand hotel in Buenos Aires' Recoleta district. It opened in 1932 on Avenida Alvear, at the corner of Ayacucho Street. Crystal chandeliers, gold-leaf walls and period furniture give the public rooms their formal character, with works of art adding to the interiors. Outside, the avenue belongs to a neighborhood of mansions, parks, antique shops and cafés. The hotel remains closely tied to this setting, with afternoon tea, a wood-paneled bar and rooms overlooking Recoleta's parks.
Classic French furniture is paired with modern details. Floral curtains and a fabric-covered headboard bring pattern to the room, set against pale walls with decorative mouldings. A desk and upholstered chair provide a place for reading or work, while lamps beside the bed add light close at hand. Egyptian cotton sheets complete the sleeping space.
The bathroom has Botticino marble finishes, with a shower in its own enclosure beside the bath. L'Occitane products are supplied. A connecting room can be booked separately, if available.

Afternoon tea brings warm scones, miniature pastries, fresh fruit tarts and cakes prepared by the pastry team.

Swimming and sunbathing therefore have their own spaces at the top of the building, apart from the evening rooftop dining.
The Wellness Area has steam baths, saunas, pressure showers, a Jacuzzi and relaxation rooms. A pebble-lined sensations path varies the temperature and pressure of the water as you move through it. These bathing facilities form the spa circuit, with places to sit between sessions.
For couples, the four-hour Moment for Two starts with a salt polish and a side-by-side aromatherapy massage, followed by a bath and a body moisturizing treatment.
