Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires

The Four Seasons occupies two buildings on the edge of Recoleta: an early-twentieth-century mansion and a tall modern tower built behind it. The one hundred and sixty-five rooms are spread across both, so depending on which wing you book, you are sleeping in a room with period proportions or a tower suite with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the city. Both wings share the same facilities.

Each room has a refrigerated private bar, television, and Wi-Fi. The hotel has three restaurants on site and a cocktail bar. The sundeck runs alongside the pool, and the spa offers massage treatments for an afternoon off your feet after walking the neighbourhood's wide streets.

For guests who want to learn tango, the hotel arranges lessons on the property — a practical option given that live milongas in the city can be intimidating to walk into without any foundation. The Recoleta neighbourhood puts you within walking distance of the area's main cultural and commercial streets. The hotel sits in Retiro by address, with Recoleta's avenues and parks directly adjacent.
