Buenos Aires has hotels for almost every kind of trip: from historic mansions and boutique hotels to major international chains and hideaways surrounded by greenery. In Recoleta, grand architecture and museums are just steps away; Palermo is packed with bars, restaurants and design, while San Telmo preserves some of the city’s oldest streets.

There are also options for those who want to wake up near Buenos Aires classics such as the Obelisco, sleep across from La Bombonera, or escape the city center and relax surrounded by nature. These are some of the best hotels in Buenos Aires, selected for their location, design, history and overall offering.

1. Recoleta Grand Hotel: Mansión Mihura

Designed by architect Eduardo Lanús and built in 1922 for Francisco Mihura, Mansión Mihura is a historic residence protected for its heritage value that has reopened its doors after a meticulous renovation. Today, it offers a new way of experiencing the history of Buenos Aires, where heritage meets art, music, food and social life. The grand staircase, original moldings, wood paneling and proportions of the residence remain the protagonists, while contemporary design adds a new layer without competing with its historic character. The result is a journey through different spaces where Belle Époque architecture meets a contemporary view of the city.

Part of the Recoleta Grand Hotel, the mansion opened in 2026 as a new extension of the property, creating a meeting point between the architectural history of Buenos Aires and its contemporary energy. Rather than simply preserving the past, Mansión Mihura turns it into an experience to be lived in the present. In the heart of Recoleta, it offers an unexpected pause from the pace of the city, whether you come for a drink, a meal, live music or simply to explore the interiors. Walking through it feels like discovering a series of different worlds, where original details from 1922 and contemporary design coexist naturally.
