An Aracari take on Buenos Aires, Argentina

I had only been to Buenos Aires (“BA”) on business years ago. I liked it but I clearly had not seen much of what it truly has to offer. This time around I thoroughly enjoyed a lot of what makes it the fashionable capital of South America. Its understated, old-world elegance has experienced a clear resurgence. I was impressed by BA’s varied lodging and shopping options and abundance of cultural activities. I visited many hotels: In the category of 5 star properties my favourites were the famous Alvear Palace Hotel, the Sofitel Arroyo where I stayed, the eclectic Faena, (a one of a kind experience!), and most of all my very favourite was the Park Hyatt Palacio Duhau! This elegant hotel located in the Recoleta neighbourhood is built within the premises of a 19th palace of the Duhau family. The interiors are superb, minimalist but traditional at the time. Very elegant. I went shopping in BA and found excellent value in clothes. Fabulous shopping galleries abound. What captivated me were the neighbourhoods of Palermo Hollywood and Palermo Soho. These areas are filled with an abundance of designer outlets with trendy and inexpensive shopping opportunities as well as wonderfully charming boutique hotels, such as Legado Mitico and Costa Petit which I visited. Those would definitely be my choice when visiting Buenos Aires.
