Frommer's Review

As the grande dame of Buenos Aires for most of the 20th century, the historic Plaza has maintained much of its original splendor, its lobby decorated in Italian marble, crystal, and Persian carpets. All the rooms are spacious and well appointed. Twenty-six rooms overlook Plaza San Martín, providing dreamlike views of the green canopy of trees in spring and summer. The Plaza Grill remains a favorite spot for a business lunch and offers a reasonably priced multicourse dinner menu as well. The Plaza Bar is among the most famous bars in the city. The hotel's enormous health club is one of the city's best, with specialized dance and aerobics rooms. Guests whose rooms are not ready can rest and shower in the health club lounge. The exterior of the hotel, with its historic landmark facade, recently underwent a cleaning and restoration. The intimate lobby is a virtual revolving door of Argentine politicians, foreign diplomats, and business executives. The hotel also provides excellent, free historical tours of Buenos Aires.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; cigar bar; concierge; extensive health club; Internet in business center; outdoor pool; room service; sauna; free Wi-Fi in lobby

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
