The Alvear Palace Hotel is situated in the most elegant neighborhood of Buenos Aires, La Recoleta, where some of the best restaurants, cafes, antique shops and boutiques of Buenos Aires, are to be found. The Alvear Palace was transformed in 1932 into a model of the highest expression of refinement. The majestic rooms and suites, as well as the lobby and public areas, are reminiscent of the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles, which are evident in the furniture, the crystal chandeliers, walls decorated with gold leaf and works of art of famous artists. The eleven-floor luxurious building with five basement levels stands as an undisputed symbol of the city.
