Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires

A Buenos Aires hot spot with Argentine flair
VERIFIED LUXURY
Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires is more sumptuous than ever after a recent $50 million revamp which updated the South American hotel and infused it with local style. An equine polo theme runs throughout — the galloping horse sculptures near the main entrance is the first indication of the aesthetic, while the Pony Line Lounge, furnished in high-end leather elements and a favorite spot for drinks among well-heeled locals, makes it tastefully clear.

Blending the contemporary and the traditional, the 165-room luxury hotel occupies both a modern tower and a 20th-century Belle Époque mansion connected to the main building through the outdoor pool and terrace.

Its location in the swank Recoleta district attracts affluent neighbors and VIP travelers looking for a hip hotel with both style and classic bespoke services and amenities.
