Where to Stay in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is a vibrant city with plenty of accommodation options for visitors. For a truly authentic experience, the best place to stay is in one of the city’s many neighborhoods, each with its own unique charm. Recoleta is a popular choice for its luxurious hotels and proximity to some of the city’s top attractions, including the famous Recoleta Cemetery. Palermo, on the other hand, is perfect for those looking for a trendy and lively atmosphere, with its many restaurants, bars, and boutiques. San Telmo is another great option, known for its bohemian vibe and historic architecture. No matter where you stay in Buenos Aires, you’re sure to be surrounded by culture, history, and all the excitement this beautiful city has to offer.

I will list some great places to stay in several neighborhoods. But please note, I will not list any places in the La Boca neighborhood as I don’t believe it is safe in the evenings.
