Concierge.com's insider take:

Stellar service is the draw at the 144-room Sofitel Buenos Aires—for instance, the concierge once sourced a pedigreed dog at short notice for one demanding guest—but comfort comes in a close second. A 1928 Art Deco tower, flanked by two neoclassical wings, houses 144 cleanly styled rooms decorated with pastel tones, leather furniture, and black-and-white photographs of Paris. Fresh flowers in each bathroom complement the subtle use of aromatherapy scents. The standard suites are spacious enough, but the presidential suite encompasses the entire 17th floor, complete with Indochinese decor and a view stretching across the Río de la Plata to Uruguay. Sip on a well-mixed martini in Café Arroyo, sample French gastronomy in the Le Sud restaurant, or simply curl up with a book in the Bibliotèque, a cozy nook draped with velvet.

This 20-story neoclassical tower "on a quiet street surrounded by art galleries" is close to the cafés and shops of Retiro. Art Deco rooms overlook the city or the Rio de la Plata. "The concierge understands the demands of a business traveler and brings you your messages and faxes immediately." The "very quiet and formal" Le Sud presents Provençale cuisine.
