Intercontinental Buenos Aires

Enjoyable experience

The hotel met up to the description as posted on its web page. Our stay was pleasant and the staff did all thy could to accommodate our needs. The hotel security was very good but a bit imposing at time. I will recommend a stay at this hotel to both the business and leisure traveler. Hats off to the Intercontinental, good show.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

The hotel is close to shopping and very good restaurants. Tourist attractions are within walking distance.

Best hotel in B.A.

I was SO incredibly impressed with this hotel. The location was perfect: it’s walking distance from Cafe Tortoni (great Tango show, about 70 pesos) and Plaza de Mayo (where you’ll find Casa Rosada and other historic buildings). The staff was very helpful. The conceirge was incredibly knowledgable, and you never had to wait. If there were multiple people waiting to talk to the conceirge, someone else walked over to make sure you wouldn’t have to wait long. I needed an official document picked up, and the conceirge stayed on the phone even after I was gone to talk to my contact to set up a meeting time, sent a car to get it picked up, and the document was in my room when I got back that evening. All for around $20 (the cost of sending the car). My first sign that this hotel was great - when I was checking in I noticed a separate check-in line for diplomats, as well as noticing an American Airlines flight attendant checking in next to me. When people who are in B.A. all the time are staying there, you know it’s good. The rooms and lobby were spotless, and the beds were very comfortable. They even brought us a converter, and most of the outlets were fitted for American electronics as well (pretty typical of Argentinean hotels). This is probably the best hotel experience I’ve ever had, and I travel quite a bit. It’s a bit pricey but worth every penny. You will not be disappointed.

Traveler's tip on local attractions

Calle Florida - very touristy, Americanized shopping street that’s a bit farther of a walk but still nearby. Watch your purse, but it’s not too bad. Make sure you pay as much attention to the street vendors as you do to the name brand stores. Estilo Campo - most expensive restaurant we went to, but AMAZING steak. In Puerto Madero. Millon (with an accent on the "o") is a cool, swanky bar/restaurant. Very slow service, but it’d be a great little romantic place to go for drinks.

A wonderful experience

Everything about this hotel was wonderful. The staff were friendly, room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was perfect, and the bed was heavenly.
