Recoleta, Buenos Aires
The barrio of Recoleta is the most sophisticated neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Not only is it home to stylish shops, antiques, art and haute couture, it is the most fashionable place in BA to dine. So why take the kids? Feria Artesanal de Recoleta, the city’s largest open-air craft market, is held here on weekends. Argentina’s most important art museum, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, is located in this French-style neighborhood. And Recoleta is the home to the gravesite of Eva Peron. A trip to Recoleta Cemetery is a lesson in art and history as well as a macabre adventure for children.

The Alvear Palace Hotel, built in 1932 and fully renovated in 1984, is a symbol of Argentina's Belle Époque. Not only do the guest rooms at this luxury hotel boast antiques, chandelier and enormous bathroom, all rooms come with a personal butler service. What's more this member of the Leading Hotels of the World is home to one of the best restaurants in BA, La Bourgogne, and is situated in Recoleta, one of the city's most upscale neighborhoods. Family Travel Tip: The hotel staff don't always say hello. Some consider that snooty, others find it unassuming. The attire is formal; no shorts even at breakfast.
