A very special return to a Buenos Aires gem and iconic landmark
We stayed at the Savoy Hotel two years ago and liked it so much that coming back was an easy choice. By pure chance, we were given the very same suite this time, which made our return even more special. The hotel is a beautiful and extraordinary example of Buenos Aires’ Belle Époque heritage, and a real gem in the city. Its location is excellent, surrounded by shops, bookshops, Belle Époque cafés, bars and restaurants, with everything easily accessible on foot. There is a wonderful feeling of being in the heart of Buenos Aires and experiencing some of its history simply by walking out of the hotel. The suite was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for our luggage, and breakfast was very good, with a generous choice of items. One of the lamps in the room was not working, but it was replaced immediately. The only small inconvenience was that the electrical sockets next to the bed are not particularly easy to access. As for the service, we were very happy to find the same friendly and helpful attitude we remembered from our previous stay. The only thing that was different this time was the atmosphere in the bar/lobby. A large and rather noisy group occupied most of the seating, with almost all the seats reserved for them, making it difficult for other guests to enjoy the space. However, this was clearly not the hotel's fault and was simply a matter of bad luck during our stay. Overall, it was a real pleasure to return to the Savoy. Its extraordinary architecture, spacious rooms, excellent location and unique atmosphere make it a very special place to stay in Buenos Aires. We enjoyed our second stay just as much as the first and would certainly come back again.
