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.

Scene
A chic, design-oriented hotel aimed at vacationing adults
A thousand modish details show that the Home Hotel Buenos Aires was decorated with a keen eye for style and detail, from the mid-century furniture and vintage glass sculpture in the lobby to the clever use of retro wallpaper throughout. Corporate travelers may prefer a hotel with a business center, and first-time visitors may elect to be closer to major sights, but design-conscious travelers will feel home at Home, the first boutique hotel in this lively neighborhood. With only 20 rooms, lots of attention on its interior design, and a bar and restaurant loved by locals, Home can feel popular to the point of being overcrowding. The restaurant’s lovely outdoor seating area overlooks the pretty pool and sundeck, which makes for fun dining views, but can make swimmers feel on display.
Location
In lively and ritzy Palermo Hollywood, removed from major attractions
Home Hotel Buenos Aires is located in Palermo Hollywood, a subdivision of the larger Palermo neighborhood named for its music studios and production companies. A 20-minute drive from downtown and major attractions, this is a high-end residential area with excellent restaurants and easy access to Palermo Soho, the part of the Palermo famous for its quirky boutique shopping. It’s a 14-minute walk to the closest metro station.- 14-minute public transit ride to the Botanical Garden (11-minute drive)
Rooms
Cool design with cement floors and vintage wallpaper from Standard Rooms to large apartments
The 20 rooms at the Home Hotel Buenos Aires range from the 205-square-foot standard rooms to the two-story, 1,050-square-foot Garden Suite with a private pool and rooftop terrace. All share the design sensibility the hotel is famous for, with chic cement floors, mid-century furnishings, and vintage wallpaper unique to each room. Blond-wood furnishings and molded fiberglass chairs make for a clean, uncluttered look. Beds are made with stark white bedding dotted with a splash of color from llama-wool blankets and throw pillows. Technology includes 26-inch flat-screen TVs (40 inches in the highest-level rooms), iPod docks, laptop safes, and free Wi-Fi, and all rooms have heat and AC. Each room has a stocked minibar, but even the fanciest digs here have price tags on the water bottles in the bathrooms, an unfortunate decision that can make guests feel nickel-and-dimed. Bathrooms have cool cement floors and countertops, with walk-in showers or showers over tubs. Each comes with robes, a heated towel rack, and signature toiletries in eco-conscious, refillable containers, plus a basic hairdryer.
Features
Popular restaurant/bar, good complimentary breakfast, outdoor pool and spa, and concierge service
The elegant wood-paneled restaurant and bar at Home Hotel Buenos Aires is popular with guests and locals alike, especially for weekend brunch. Tables next to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the pool and garden area, or guests can also sit alfresco on the deck. The hotel's free breakfast is served here, a set menu of high-quality, fresh items that vary day to day; the coffee is excellent, too. While the property's pool is small, it's surrounded by a lovely wooden deck with cushy loungers and umbrellas. The jasmine, native plants, and fruit trees around it could make it feel like a secluded green oasis -- if the restaurant’s outdoor tables weren’t so close by, sacrificing privacy. The hotel's signature design reaches all the way down to the small, chic spa and sauna, where one of the specialties is a treatment for jet lag. A concierge can arrange outings, transfers, and babysitting, and reasonably priced laundry and dry-cleaning service is available. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
