Near the beach and the city center, the three-and-a-half pearl Tronador Hotel will do nicely for leisure and business travelers. It's within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and Casino del Mar, plus it has convenient on-site amenities such as an indoor pool, gym, breakfast buffet, and meeting rooms. Just about the only thing missing is a restaurant. The 73 rooms are a bit dated (as are some of the public spaces) and lack coffee- and tea-making facilities, but they're air-conditioned and come with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. For a similar price, travelers might want to consider the Grand Hotel Santa Teresita, which has a restaurant, trendy design, and is closer to the beach.

The four-pearl Sheraton Mar del Plata Hotel is outside Mar del Plata's city center, next to a golf course and within walking distance of the beach. The public areas are well-maintained, but the 194 rooms, which come with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and minibars, have begun to show their age. The lobby bar serves cocktails and snacks, and there's a buffet-style restaurant and coffee shop, a Mediterranean-influenced restaurant specializing in seafood, and a pool bar open seasonally. There are also indoor and outdoor pools, a spa with sauna, a gym, and eight meeting rooms. Be aware that Wi-Fi comes with a fee, and parking is pricey. Travelers wanting to stay closer to the city center could compare rates with Hotel Sainte Jeanne, a boutique property with a restaurant, spa, gym, and free Wi-Fi.
