Sofitel

Frommer's Review

The Sofitel opened in late 2002, the first in Argentina. This classy French hotel near Plaza San Martín joins two seven-story buildings to a 20-story neoclassical tower dating from 1929, with a glass atrium lobby bringing them together. The lobby resembles an enormous gazebo, with six ficus trees, a giant iron-and-bronze chandelier, an Art Nouveau clock, and Botticino and black San Gabriel marble filling the space. Adjacent to the lobby, you will find an elegant French restaurant, Le Sud, and the early-20th-century-style Buenos Aires Café. The cozy library, with its grand fireplace and dark wood, offers guests an enchanting place to read outside their rooms. These rooms vary in size, mixing modern French decor with traditional Art Deco styles; ask for one of the "deluxe" rooms or suites if you're looking for more space. Beautiful marble bathrooms have separate showers and tubs. Rooms above the 8th floor enjoy the best views, and the 17th-floor suite, L'Appartement, covers the entire floor. Many of the staff members speak Spanish, English, and French.
