Loi Suites Recoleta Hotel

Fitting for the posh Recoleta neighborhood, Loi Suites Recoleta -- part of an Argentinian chain with three properties in Buenos Aires -- offers refined, minimalistic decor and upscale amenities. The 12-story building welcomes guests with a cobblestone, porte-cochère entryway. The lobby is bright with large windows, beige tiled floors, and white walls. Throughout, the color palette is neutral but sophisticated with rich wood furniture and upholstery in gray, beige, or white. The crown jewel of the hotel is the Winter Garden, a spacious, plant-filled, glass-roofed atrium with marbled tables and wicker chairs, plus a heated swimming pool at the back. With its excellent location and spacious rooms, the hotel attracts a range of travelers, such as business guests and tourists, including some families with children. 

The hotel is conveniently situated in the swanky Recoleta neighborhood, surrounded by art galleries and restaurants. Streets feature luxurious French facades and mansions converted into embassies and hotels. The historic Recoleta Cemetery, Eva Peron’s final resting place, is just at the end of the block. Nuestra Señora del Pilar Church and the Recoleta Cultural Center are both a five-minute walk away, and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes is about 11 minutes away on foot. The nearest subway station, Las Heras, is a nine-minute walk, and the Hop-on, Hop-off tourist bus stops about five minutes from the hotel. Microcentro, the city's downtown area, is about an 11-minute drive, and the airport is about 38 minutes away by car, without traffic. 

This all-suite hotel offers spacious studios and two-room suites with simple but sophisticated contemporary decor. The neutral beige and white color palette from public spaces continues here with an airy effect. Most rooms have light wood floors and bathrooms are upscale with marbled walls and large vanities. All rooms are air-conditioned and include sitting areas, desks, safes, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Wet bars have sinks, microwaves, coffee/tea service with electric kettles, drink-ware, and minibars stocked with a variety of beverages. Bathrooms usually include combo showers and tubs, plus bidets, hairdryers, and free individual toiletries. 

The hotel has the amenities guests expect from an upscale hotel including dining facilities, wellness facilities, and attentive staff. There's a small lobby bar, classy La Fuente Restaurant, and room service available during limited hours. Meals are also served in the Winter Garden -- a bright, plant-filled, glass-roofed atrium that is one of the highlights of the hotel. The tasty (and free) breakfast buffet is served here each morning, and the Winter Garden is also home to the hotel's heated swimming pool. Other wellness facilities include a sauna and a small but nice gym with a wood floor, mirrored wall, free weights, and modern cardio and weight-lifting equipment. The hotel also has three meeting and event rooms. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and parking is available for an extra fee. Guests find the staff to be attentive and friendly offering recommendations, ticket assistance, laundry service, luggage storage, and other services. For guests traveling with children, the hotel can arrange babysitting and has cribs and high chairs.
