The elegant and chic four-pearl Melia Recoleta Plaza offers an intimate boutique-style setting in the swanky Recoleta neighborhood. In fact, this was once the former home of Eva Peron, Argentina's world famous first lady. The rooftop terrace and pool have spectacular city views, and the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant serves gourmet fare. A spa, gym, and free breakfast are other added perks. The 57 rooms have minibars (free in higher-priced rooms), flat-screen TVs with DVDs, luxurious bathrooms, and turndown service, but most lack coffee- and tea-making facilities. Travelers could also consider the Mio Buenos Aires, a nearby property with a more modern design, similar amenities, and rooms with Nespresso makers.

Vista Sol is a simple, modern property almost feels more like a complex of urban studio apartments than a mid-size, mid-price hotel. The standard rooms are small, but the sophisticated, minimalistic design leaves a surprising amount of useful space. The hotel has little more than a small fitness center and sauna, plus a basic restaurant, but it is clean and centrally located to tourist attractions and the city's business center. Overall it's a nice value -- in this city, it's easy to pay a lot more for a lot less.

The 562 Nogaro Hotel is a 136-room property set in a historic building near City Hall in bustling Microcentro. Interiors retain a touch of their original charm, but recent renovations have given the hotel a more contemporary feel. Basic rooms are comfortable with wood floors, minibars, and free Wi-Fi (though service is spotty). Bathrooms have shower/tub combos and bidets, but despite upgrades, rooms still show a bit of wear and tear and some have older tube TVs. The original windows open, but some rooms on lower floors can experience traffic noise from the street below. Breakfast is offered daily in the Salon Marsella and the atmospheric lobby bar serves light fare and drinks. The hotel has a fitness center -- though it's tiny -- and a business center for more reliable Internet.
