Travel + Leisure says..."Opened in 1932, the 210-room Alvear Palace in the upscale Recoleta neighborhood defines Buenos Aires's European-aspiring swish hotel tradition. Afternoon tea in the L'Orangerie restaurant combines the English tea with Argentina's obsession with delicate sweets; chef Jean Paul Bondoux's sea-foam carpeted La Bourgogne restaurant gives Argentine ingredients a high-end French edge; and the design throughout is pure Louis XIV. While the Argentine Sutton family, owners of the Alvear, have not jumped on the minimalist design trend, they are adding LCD televisions and shower stalls to the rooms and have just opened a basement spa and fitness center. Superb service means you'll hardly ever lift a finger: Each guest is assigned a bilingual butler who will do everything from unpacking and pressing their clothes to drawing a bath (complete with amenities from the Parisian designer HermAs) before bedtime."Conde Nast Traveler says..."This Belle Apoque monument "is the best hotel in South America." It's "within walking distance of fantastic shops and Recoleta Cemetery." "All the staff knew fascinating things about the city." Built in 1932, rooms are designed in Louis XIV and Louis XVI style, with silk drapes and Empire-style furniture, along with personal butlers. La Bourgogne serves "out-of-this-world French." -From Conde Nast Traveler
