The Alvear Palace Hotel, built in 1932 and fully renovated in 1984, is a symbol of Argentina's Belle Époque. Not only do the guestrooms at this luxury hotel boast antiques, chandelier and enormous bathroom, they all have 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.
