Where to stay in Buenos Aires.

Planning notes
Recoleta, Palermo or Puerto Madero
Recoleta is grand, central and walkable to the classic sights. Palermo is greener and where most of the restaurants people fly in for actually are. Puerto Madero is modern and quiet, with a longer walk to anywhere interesting.
Dinner at ten
Restaurants fill from 9.30pm. Book ahead for the well-known parrillas and tasting menus, and treat an 8pm table as the tourist slot — you will be the only ones there.
Money and taxis
Card acceptance is normal in hotels and good restaurants. Use app-based cars rather than hailing on the street, and keep phones away on the subway and in San Telmo market crowds.
The best months to go
- September to November
- Spring: jacaranda in bloom, mild days, the best all-round window.
- March to May
- Autumn. Comfortable, quieter and good value, and it pairs neatly with the Mendoza harvest.
- December to February
- Hot and humid, and much of the city leaves for the coast in January. Some restaurants close for the month.
Questions we're asked about Buenos Aires
- Is Buenos Aires safe for visitors?
- Ordinary big-city care covers most of it: use app cars at night, keep your phone out of sight in crowds and markets, and stay in the central barrios. Our Is it safe? section carries the fuller picture.
- Do you have houses in Buenos Aires?
- No. This page searches real hotels and apartment rentals with our booking partners — live prices, booked on their site, not ours.
