The Alvear Palace Hotel sits on Avenida Alvear in Recoleta, an upscale neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The site previously held the city's first British consulate. Designed by architects Valentín Brodsky and Estanislao Pirovano, the building reflects founder Rafael de Miero's architectural vision inspired by his travels in France.
The hotel contains 207 rooms and suites across 11 floors. Room categories range from Palace Classic (30m²) and Palace Premier (37m²) to Suite Junior (48m²) and Suite de Lujo (60m²). Lounge suites and grand suites are also available. Guest rooms feature period furnishings spanning Louis XIV to First Empire styles.
The hotel operates five dining venues. L'Orangerie serves daily breakfast, lunch buffet, afternoon tea, and Sunday brunch in a naturally lit setting with garden décor. The Alvear Roof Bar on the 11th floor offers cocktails and light fare. Alvear Grill features a contemporary grill concept. The Lobby Bar provides cocktails and appetizers, while Café Alvear offers informal breakfast and light meals.
The Alvear Spa & Fitness Center spans multiple floors with both dry and wet areas. The climatized indoor pool occupies the 11th floor alongside solariums. Beauty treatments and wellness programs are available through the spa menu. The fitness facility contains cardiovascular and weightlifting equipment with specialized staff support. The hotel operates ten conference rooms accommodating groups from 10 to 400 people for meetings and events.
The hotel serves heads of state, royalty, business travelers, and couples. The extensive conference facilities accommodate corporate events and social occasions. Historically, the property has hosted diplomatic figures and entertainment personalities visiting Buenos Aires.
The hotel opened on 3 September 1932 with an inaugural reception attended by President Agustín P. Justo. It began with 191 rooms and was expanded in the 1940s onto an adjacent site. The French Second Empire-inspired structure features 11 floors and five basement levels with a Paris-stone facade and French Baroque interior motifs.
The property experienced decline from the 1970s onward. After insolvency proceedings in the late 1970s, businessman David Sutton Dabbah acquired the hotel through Grupo Sutton Dabbah in 1984 and initiated restoration. The city government designated the building part of Buenos Aires' historic heritage in 2003. Following COVID-19 closure, the hotel underwent 17-month restoration and reopened in September 2021 with 207 rooms.
