Frommer's Review
This classy French hotel near Plaza San Martín comprises two seven-story buildings joined to a 20-story neoclassical tower dating from 1929. They're linked by a glass atrium lobby that resembles an enormous gazebo, with ficus trees, a giant iron-and-bronze chandelier, an Art Nouveau clock, and Botticcino and black San Gabriel marble filling the space. The guest rooms vary in size, mixing modern French decor with traditional Art Deco; 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 enjoy the best views, and the 17th-floor suite, L'Appartement, covers the whole floor. Adjacent to the hotel lobby is an elegant French restaurant, Le Sud, and the early-20th-century-style Buenos Aires Café. Many of the Sofitel's staff members speak Spanish, English, and French.

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.
