Hotels in Argentina

Rooftop hotels in Argentina are, for now, a Buenos Aires story, and the capital gives a terrace plenty to look at: Belle Époque domes, the long gash of Avenida 9 de Julio with the Obelisco at its centre, and the brown, sea-wide sweep of the Río de la Plata beyond the docks of Puerto Madero. The site covers Greater Buenos Aires, where rooftop pools, skyline terraces and polished luxury hotels have spread from the old Microcentro to the glass towers along the river.

Where you sleep shapes the view. Puerto Madero puts you among the newest towers, with the Puente de la Mujer and the green edge of the Costanera Sur reserve below. Recoleta and Retiro look over mansard roofs and leafy avenues, while the Microcentro frames Palacio Barolo and the city's densest rooftops. Terrace season runs roughly from October to April; porteños dine late, so the busiest hour on a roof often comes well after sunset. Winter evenings are cool enough to favour indoor lounges.
