We stayted at the Buenos Aires Four Seasons Hotel our first time in the city. Buenos Aires has many wonderful hotels, including all of the well-known chains from North America. The Four Seasons was beautiful, but we did not think the location was as good as some of the other luxury hotels such as the Alvear Palace, which was in Recoleta. However, we were within walking distance of several nice restaurants, including La Cabana steakhouse at Rodriguez Pena 1967. This famous restaurant was gorgeous, with three floors for dining. Be sure to explore the entire restaurant when you dine there. We had a superb meal with wine for less than $60 for the two of us.
The second time we visited Buenos Aires, we stayed at the Buenos Aires Marriott Plaza Hotel, which is near the Plaza San Martin on Calle Florida, the famous pedestrian shopping street. This classic hotel is not as elegant (nor as expensive) as the Four Seasons, but the prime location is excellent, the rooms are clean, and the bathrooms are large.
Let's start our tour of Buenos Aires at its political center--Plaza de Mayo.
