This upper-middle-range chain isn't luxurious by any means, but its rooms are cozy enough for the price, with comfortable beds, flat-screen TVs, and basic amenities that include coffeemakers and stocked mini-fridges. Nice perks include free continental breakfast and free Wi-Fi, but the main draw is the hotel's central location. It is close to downtown attractions and stands right on the bustling thoroughfare of Calle Florida, which is lined with stores and restaurants. Guests also have access to a nearby gym, but the hotel lacks a fitness center and pool. Also, noise can be a problem, especially in rooms close to the elevators.

The 197-room Hotel Madero is in the beautiful, recently developed Puerto Madero neighborhood, full of trendy bars, restaurants, boutiques, and upscale condominiums. The hotel reflects the chic, luxurious surroundings, with sleek decor (unique pieces of artwork, sophisticated color schemes) and an overall young, laid-back ambiance. Bright, spacious, and tastefully furnished, most of the rooms feature nice amenities such as private balconies, minibars, iPod docks, and work areas. Wi-Fi is available, but for a fee. The heated indoor pool is a bit small, but its rooftop location and the outside terrace provide lovely views of the area. The free breakfast buffet includes hot Argentinian specialties and pastries, and Red Resto & Lounge serves local and international dishes. One downfall, though: It’s difficult reaching other parts of Buenos Aires without a car because the hotel isn’t close to any subway stops.

The 141-room Dazzler Recoleta is a stylish high-rise in a culture-rich district near the historic Recoleta Cemetery. The four-pearl hotel has a futuristic style full of funky furnishings and amenities that include a lovely outdoor pool and a fitness center with a sauna. Business travelers are catered to with a meeting room and a business center. Rooms feature a simple, modern style with sleek furniture, though guests complain of impractical half-screens on shower/tubs that lead to wet floors. The daily breakfast buffet is free and served in a trendy dining room, though there is no full restaurant on-site. Travelers might also want to consider the nearby Urban Suites Recoleta, which offers more amenities at a comparable price.

This 20-room, upscale boutique hotel has chic rooms with great design sense, a relaxing garden retreat, and a popular restaurant and bar in the trendy Palermo Hollywood neighborhood. Production companies and studios lend the neighborhood its name, and it has great shopping and some of the best dining in Buenos Aires. The hotel combines high style with eco consciousness and community spirit: solar panels heat the pool, kitchen oils are turned into biofuel, a monthly on-site exhibit supports local artists, and used sheets, towels, and slippers are donated to local charities. It’s 20 minutes from downtown, though, which means a trek to most attractions. Those looking for something more central might consider Mio Buenos Aires, with a pool and gorgeous wood details in the heart of Recoleta.

The Be Hollywood is a hip, modern boutique hotel located in the lively Palermo Hollywood neighborhood. The hotel features 37 large, white rooms with pops of color via the pillows and rugs. Even the standard rooms are spacious (the largest loft rooms are located in a building across the street), but the bathrooms are small with tiny showers. The highlight is the terrace where the pool and fabulous views of the city can be found, and the free breakfast and Wi-Fi add value.

This upper-middle-range business hotel has 133 clean, contemporary, but somewhat basic rooms with large windows and good soundproofing. Amenities are scarce -- just a skinny fitness room with a sauna and a glass-enclosed, top-floor restaurant serving a good breakfast -- but it is within a 10-minute walk of three subway lines and offers free Wi-Fi, coffee, and tea. Its central location in the busy Retiro district is conveniently close to major attractions and great shopping, but some rooms are slightly small for the price.
