Galloping horse sculptures flank the entrance, and the polo theme carries right through to the leather-furnished Pony Line Lounge, which well-heeled Recoleta regulars treat as a personal living room. This Forbes Four Star hotel splits its 165 rooms between a modern tower and a Belle Époque mansion, the two connected through an outdoor pool and terrace. It holds a certain conviction that luxury and local character belong together, and the renovation made that argument in full.

A converted 1930s palace in Recoleta, built by a government minister who came back from France with big ideas and a fondness for Louis XVI excess. The silk curtains and crystal chandeliers are original to the spirit, if not always the fixtures. As Buenos Aires luxury hotels go, this one has the bones to back up the grandeur, with 165 rooms spread across the historic building and a modern wing tucked behind the garden.

Crystal chandeliers, white-gloved bilingual butlers, and Louis XVI furniture so gilded you feel underdressed just reading the menu: the Alvear Palace is Recoleta's grand old palace hotel, and it leans into every bit of that. The lobby bar is a long-running theater for Argentine high society. A Forbes Four Star property, it also has a rooftop pool and bar with city views, a spa, and the Alvear Grill for when you'd like someone to fuss over you at dinner.
