And wouldn't you know, we needed a place to crash after <a href="http://www.jaunted.com/tag/uruguay%20field%20trip">our long trip to Uruguay</a>. (Our flight was out of Ezeiza airport in BsAs.)<br> <p>So we looked up <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/La+Cayetana+Historic+House/local/1170"><b>La Cayetana</b></a>, after reading Matt's dead-on description:<blockquote><p>Here's a boutique where the designers (Estela Fitere and Silvina Tarrio) have devoted more than 10 minutes and a few phone calls to their scheme. A perfect blend of restored original features (the mosaic floors, the high bare-brick ceilings, the free-standing tubs) and modern conveniences (Wi-Fi, etc).</blockquote></p><p>We really enjoyed our one-night stay, and pbb 2008-04-03T16:06:13-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/2/15/183720/668 <![CDATA[<p><i> Travel writer <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/user/uid:6171"><b>Matt Chesterton</b></a> may know more about the Buenos Aires hotel scene than anyone else on the planet, our words not his. When he isn't hiding from his creditors he is out and about in BA. For the next two weeks he will be busting myths and spouting off about the BA hotel scene. For starters, he has told us that La Cabaña is not the best steakhouse in Argentina, and rather, a national embarrassment, the kind of place that in previous epochs of "our" history would have been firebombed--reserved for Steakhouse Suckers, his words, not ours. This is exactly the kind of unadulterated sentiment you can expect to find here in the next couple of weeks--plus MattyC 2007-02-16T15:33:56-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
