Where to Stay in Mendoza

Where: 25 de Mayo 1010, Mendoza, Argentina

All this week, Eric Rosen will be bringing us his hotel recommendations for an interesting trip down in South America. He explains it all in our latest hotel guide--Budget Boutique Hotels of the 33rd Parallel South.

Mendoza is probably my favorite destination in Argentina. Sure, there are the natural splendors of the glaciers in the south and Iguazu Falls in the north. Buenos Aires definitely beckons with her joie de vivre, impromptu tango street demonstrations, and what might just be the best clubbing scene in the world.

But Mendoza--sprawling, dusty Mendoza--nestled in the eastern foothills of the towering Andes, is still my favorite. Why? Because you can drink some of the best wines in the world for very little money, and then you can work off your hangover with a day of hiking, horseback riding, and white water rafting in the nearby countryside.
