Step into Buenos Aires and feel the rhythm of tango, the aroma of sizzling steak, and a passion for life that pulses through its tree-lined avenues. This elegant South American metropolis blends European grandeur with Latin flair, offering an unforgettable experience for every traveller. Explore historic neighbourhoods like San Telmo, home to an antique market and spontaneous street performances, or wander through Recoleta Cemetery to admire elaborate mausoleums, including Eva Perón’s.

Discover the colourful houses of La Boca's Caminito, a pedestrian street that bursts with art and music. Football fans can visit La Bombonera stadium, an essential pilgrimage for understanding the city's sporting heart. When planning your stay, consider the diverse range of accommodation options available, from boutique hotels in Palermo Soho to grand establishments in Microcentro, ensuring you find the perfect base for exploring everything Buenos Aires has to offer.

Many travellers choose to book their hotel in Palermo, the largest neighbourhood in Buenos Aires. This popular area offers a wide array of accommodation options and is well-connected to other parts of the city.

Palermo is known for its green spaces, including the Bosques de Palermo (Palermo Woods), and its distinct sub-districts like Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood. You will find boutique hotels, guesthouses, and apartments here, catering to different budgets. This area is a hub for design shops, independent cafes, and street art.

For a more historic and bohemian experience, consider staying in San Telmo. This neighbourhood features colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and a vibrant arts scene. Accommodation often includes charming converted mansions or smaller, characterful hotels. The San Telmo Market is a key attraction, especially on Sundays, as is the Plaza Dorrego.

Recoleta offers a more upscale atmosphere with grand architecture and luxury hotels. This elegant district is home to the famous Recoleta Cemetery, where Eva Perón is buried, and the Floralis Genérica metal flower sculpture. You will find higher-end hotels and serviced apartments in this sophisticated part of the city.

When choosing your hotel, consider transport links. Buenos Aires has an extensive public transport network, including the Subte (metro), buses, and Metrobús lines. This makes it easy to travel between neighbourhoods from most hotel locations. The city is served by two main airports: Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), located within the city near the waterfront, mainly for domestic and regional flights, and Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE), also known as Ezeiza, for international arrivals, located about 22 miles southwest of the city centre. Both are well-connected to hotel areas by various transport options.

Booking your hotel in Buenos Aires doesn't have to break the bank. Consider staying in less tourist-heavy neighbourhoods like Balvanera or Almagro, where you can often find better deals than in Palermo or Recoleta. These areas offer excellent transport links and give you a more authentic feel for the city, often putting you closer to local *milongas* – traditional tango dance halls – for a real taste of Argentine culture without the premium price tag. Travelling during the shoulder seasons, such as autumn (March to May) or spring (September to November), can also result in significant savings on accommodation and flights compared to the peak summer months.

Another tip is to book your stay further in advance, especially if your trip coincides with major events like the Argentina Polo Open Championship. Many hotels offer early bird discounts. Look for hotels that include breakfast, as this can cut down on daily food costs, and remember to check if Wi-Fi is complimentary. You can save money by choosing a hotel slightly outside the main tourist hub and using the city's extensive and affordable public transport system.
