Sofitel Review

This classy French hotel near Plaza San Martín joins two seven-story buildings to a 20-story neoclassical tower dating from 1929, linked by a glass atrium lobby resembling an enormous gazebo, with ficus trees, a giant iron-and-bronze chandelier, and an Art Nouveau clock. Adjacent to the lobby, you'll find an elegant French restaurant, Le Sud, and the early-20th-century-style Buenos Aires Café. These rooms vary in size; ask for one of the "deluxe" rooms or suites if you're looking for more space. Beautiful marble bathrooms have separate showers and bathtubs and feature Roger & Gallet amenities. Rooms above the eighth floor offer the best views, and the 17th-floor suite, L'Appartement, covers the whole floor. Many of the staff members speak Spanish, English, and French.

Facilities:
Restaurant; cafe; bar; concierge; fitness center; indoor swimming pool; room service

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.
