If Argentina’s capital city of Buenos Aires is on your travel schedule, here are five of the city’s best luxury lodging choices to consider:

Dramatic features abound at Alvear Palace Hotel, from the gold leaf and crystal chandeliers of the lobby, to the 207 rooms and suites reflecting contemporary French design. A member of the Leading Hotels of the World, this landmark property includes an expansive wellness area with spa, pools, solarium and fitness center. Among the dining choices are Lobby Bar, Alvear Roof Bar, Alvear Grill and L’Orangerie, where guests can enjoy a namesake Alvear Tea in the afternoon.

The celebrated neighborhood of La Recoleta is the setting for the Algodon Mansion, a boutique hotel boasting a cellar of award-wining wines from the hotel’s own Algodon Wine Estates. Nearby, guests can enjoy a host of galleries, cafés and boutiques located on the city’s main shopping boulevards. At Le Spa, treatments and therapies are based on French and Swiss wellness traditions, while the property has the only spa in Latin America where products and treatments from Stendhal Paris are offered.

From its neo-Renaissance façade to its modern room décor, the Esplendor by Wyndham Buenos Aires is pet-friendly and offers guests amenities, including complimentary breakfast and WiFi. The hotel is home to a collection of Argentine art, and is located close to Florida Street and the Galerías Pacífico Shopping Mall.

Part historic mansion and part modern high-rise, the Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires immerses guests in local traditions such as Sunday barbecue in the garden, while rooms and suites provide extreme comfort trimmed with glamorous old-world décor. Beautiful antiques, landscaped gardens and a poolside terrace add to the ambience, while dining on dry-aged steaks and local fare are features at Elena, named for bride Elena Peña Unzué, gifted with the mansion on her wedding day.

At Hub Porteno, it’s all about concept, and the hotel’s sleek décor provides the foundation for curated city experiences tailored to the tastes of each guest — from private tango sessions to exploring traditional gaucho culture on nearby ranches. Accommodations are a collection of suites, while amenities include The Living Room, The Terrace and a fourth-floor wellness zone with sauna, gym and treatment rooms.
