If you look at the hotel reviews for Buenos Aires on Trip Advisor, the #1 hotel is the stunning 5-star Alvear Palace, which runs about $400 a night.<\/p>\n

Guess what #2 is? An innocuous 6-room hotel in the fashionable Palermo Soho neighborhood, with rooms in the mid $100s.<\/p>\n

Having stayed there twice, I’m here to tell you:\u00a0Miravida Soho<\/a> is the real deal.\u00a0The location is perfect. The rooms are comfortable.\u00a0And the staff – maybe the best of any boutique hotel I’ve ever stayed in, worldwide. They simply can’t do enough for you.<\/p>\n

When I had difficulties changing a LAN Airlines flight, the front desk manager\u00a0Pamela (who also served my delicious breakfasts in the morning) spent 1 HOUR on the phone with LAN, helping me get through all the Spanish language menus to make the change. We’re talking 6-star service. They were more than happy to let me store a piece of wine luggage\u00a0while I spent five nights in Mendoza.<\/p>\n

The back courtyard, where breakfast is served on sunny mornings, is elegant and quiet.<\/p>\n

And because the hotel has its own wine bar, the evening dynamic is much friendlier than at more soulless hotels. They’ll happily\u00a0pour you a glass of first-rate vino at the end of your evening – whether that’s 10 PM or 4 am.<\/p>\n

And it’s wine you’d actually want to drink – from Tacuil, the highest vineyard in the world, to Bramare from Vina Cobos. It’s rare to find good wines by the glass in a hotel setting in B.A – especially at reasonable prices.<\/p>\n

In a city with occasional security concerns like Buenos Aires, there’s much to be said for enjoying a nightcap in the safety of your very secure hotel, with fellow travelers who are eager to share stories and tips. And the hotel employees are right there in the conversation, just like your favorite bartender. I enjoyed every evening at the wine bar.<\/p>\n

Miravida Soho’s\u00a0staff quickly become newfound friends. The hotel has recently undergone a change in ownership, but the entire staff remains the same. Ale, Taunya, \u00a0Pamela, Felipe, Gabriel, Omar and Roberto – I loved them all, and look forward to returning next trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
