The 725 Continental Hotel was built in 1927 and features a dramatic Art Deco exterior. Inside, however, the vibe is modern and minimalist, with sleek furnishings and a neutral color palette punched up by pops of color throughout. Most of the 192 guest rooms are spacious, and all include dark hardwood floors, marble bathrooms, and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Freebies include Wi-Fi and a daily breakfast buffet. Highlights include a tiny terrace solarium and two restaurants that serve local specialties in chic surroundings. The hotel also offers a prime downtown location that is convenient, but might be too noisy for some guests.

The Blue Soho Hotel feels refreshing and boutique-y, with exposed brick walls, high ceilings with skylights, and even fresh flowers and palms. Rooms exude a distinct urban, contemporary style, though some are dark and lacking natural light. Bathrooms are also modern, but sometimes positioned in awkward places -- in some rooms, the bathroom area isn't even closed off from the sleeping area. Although the hip factor is there, the hotel's cramped feel and lack of light in some areas can make it feel less than luxurious. One of its strongest assets is its location -- on a street with various trendy shops and restaurants, in the heart of the bustling and chic Palermo Soho.

The Tribeca Buenos Aires Apart has a lot of style and space for its slim capacity. The 35 rooms are arranged around a center courtyard that offers quaint outdoor seating and a peaceful reprieve from the city surroundings. The shared spaces of the hotel are sophisticated and modern (particularly the blue-lit lobby bar that doubles as restaurant after the free breakfast buffet), but the rooms don't quite measure up, with sparse decor and tight space -- though they do have surprisingly large bathrooms. Overall, the central (though slightly dicey) location in the heart of Buenos Aires, the fitness center for basic work-out needs, the spacious rooftop sundeck with Jacuzzis, and freebies such as Wi-Fi and breakfast all add up for a great value.

The Glu Hotel, a small, boutique property in the posh Palermo neighborhood, feels like an urban oasis in bustling Buenos Aires. The rooms are spacious, stylish, and clean with a clever layout that somehow offers multiple seating options, a workspace, a living/lounge area, and a king-size bed, and still leaves room for morning yoga on the hardwood floors. The rooms also come complete with balconies and smart extras such as dishes, wine glasses, cutlery, a microwave, and convenient bar seating for improvised in-room meals. The lobby bar and patio are chic spots to enjoy an evening cocktail, or guests can really unwind after a day of sightseeing with an in-room massage treatment.

The upper-middle-range Broadway Hotel & Suites sits on Avenida Corrientes, a major thoroughfare in the heart of Buenos Aires' cultural district, right down the street from the iconic Obelisk. It's close to theaters, shopping, entertainment, and the financial district. Interiors are modern and posh yet minimalist. Hotel highlights include a rooftop pool with a roomy sundeck, a small fitness center, a restaurant, and a breakfast buffet included in the rates. The 110 guest rooms are spacious and include Junior and Executive Suites; they're not as elegant as public spaces and have a few dated details, though some have marble bathrooms. Travelers could also consider the nearby Galerias Hotel, which has similar amenities plus the added perk of a hot tub.

Comfortable rooms have thoughtful touches of technology, including iPod docks and wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. While bathrooms are relatively small, they are sophisticated with marble vanities and glass walk-in showers. The highlight of CasaSur is an upscale spa complete with Jacuzzi, and the hotel also offers its own restaurant serving food inspired by India and the Mediterranean.

The Cyan Recoleta Hotel in the chic Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta is a 65-room, modern property with city views that include the historic Recoleta Cemetery. The three-pearl property offers free breakfast and Wi-Fi, while the rooms, primarily white with few furnishings, have kitchenettes with dining tables. The hotel's few common spaces are largely stripped of decor, and in need of some touch-ups, though there's a pleasant interior courtyard on pea stone with umbrella tables and chairs. One tiny elevator ferries guests to upper floors, but the wait for it can be long. Weekends bring a vibrant market to the surrounding streets. As an alternative, the Hotel Reconquista Garden is farther from the Recoleta Cemetery, though close to the metro, and it offers a pool, sauna, and spa.

Guests arriving at the six-room Miravida Soho Hotel and Wine Bar in the bohemian Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires are greeted with a glass of wine and a house-made empanada. The mid-range property, housed in a restored neoclassical mansion, has a courtyard of Spanish tile with lush plantings and a rustic cellar for wine tastings. Its five rooms and one suite, all with terraces or balconies, overlook the cobblestone street or courtyard. The rooms are on the smaller side and there are a few nicks and scratches on the wooden furnishings in the rooms and throughout the property. Breakfast, which is free, is served in a sexy, red-walled bar adjacent to the courtyard. The Miravida's distinct character and wine features come with a slightly higher price tag than local competitors. For a bigger, more contemporary property, guests could consider the Atempo Design Hotel, which has somewhat lower rates plus a pool and artsy rooms with kitchenettes.

This 139-room hotel is located on the bustling Avenida 9 de Julio in Retiro, a business-friendly area near shops and cultural attractions. It's an older hotel with some signs of wear and tear, though many of the rooms were renovated in 2011. Updated rooms feature hardwood floors, big beds, and modern touches such as flat-screen TVs, sleek lamps, and minimalist furnishings. Other rooms, however, still have older, drab decor and tube TVs. The hotel's draw is its central location just north of Microcentro, which may appeal to business travelers and tourists who want to explore the city. Amenities are few -- there's not much more than a small, ill-equipped fitness center, a coffee shop, and a restaurant.
