L’ Adresse Hotel San Telmo
L’ Adresse Hotel in San Telmo gets my attention every time I pass by. From the outside, it has already a cozy impression.
For me, the rooms are one of the most authentic Argentine house feelings. Wooden floors, high ceilings, and a small balcony path to other places in the hotel. The rooms are accessible by stairs only.
The breakfast is standard, not impressive but for sure good! Also, behind the corner, there is Avenida Caseros. In the morning, you can get there a coffee and croissant. Also, the perfect street for dinner! On top of that, it’s two blocks away from where I live 😀

Madero Urbano Suites
Madero Urbana Suites is located in a zone between San Telmo and Puerto Madero. Ideal to start your day trip. From some rooms, you have a beautiful view of the old port of Buenos Aires.
The hotel doesn’t really feel like a hotel. They are suites that you rent. Breakfast is by take away service or delivered to your room door. I would then go into town for breakfast. It is a modern building with a large swimming pool.
I recommend Madero Urbano Suites for travelers looking for a spacious room and swimming pool without too many facilities. Two-three blocks around the building there is nothing to see or do. But perfect for heading to San Telmo.
