· FAENA HOTEL + UNIVERSE

From our BA hotel expert Matt Chesterton:

Like the best candy bars, what you see on the outside (in this case an austere early 20th-century grain silo, scrubbed and spotlit) gives little away as to what lies within (lush damasks and brilliant whites, wardrobes on claws as if ready to pounce, wall-mounted unicorn heads, a bit of Narnia here, a bit of 1940s BA there, and so on).

· 725 CONTINENTAL BUENOS AIRES:

This suggestion actually came from HotelChatter commenter Mareen who offered up this review:

The hotel, which is also featured in the BA Wallpaper guide, seems somewhat starved of resources. Towels were somewhat geriatric though still acceptable, the same was true of the beadspreads....Learn to navigate around the limitations of the hotel and your stay there can actually be quite pleasant, especially since there is nothing pretentious about the hotel or its staff.

· HOME HOTEL

Once again, Matt Chesterton offers up his expert opinion:

There's no doubt that Home is one of the best lodgings in BA, and that every gong slung at owners Tom and Patricia (he's English, she's Argentine) is richly deserved. They put three years of their lives into getting this place open, didn't cut any corners, demanded the best of everything, got lost several times in the jungle of Argentine bureaucracy, eventually hacked themselves out, and are now reaping the rewards and awards.
