Argenta Tower Hotel
A tower with water where the view starts
About this hotel
The tower format is the point: height is scarce in low-built Buenos Aires, and a pool set at the top of a genuinely vertical building clears the neighboring rooflines in a way most terrace decks cannot. From the water the city does its signature trick, flattening into an even plain of terraces and domes that runs to the horizon without a hill to stop it. Summer organizes the deck's day, quiet morning laps, the midday exodus to sightseeing, then the return shift as the heat peaks and the light gets long. Below, the hotel runs a tidy four-star operation whose 8.6 average across eighteen hundred stays sits comfortably above the district's midfield. It is a simple, effective machine: elevator up, city gone quiet, water level with the skyline, and the evening arranged around the best seat the building owns.

Our take
A solid pick for travelers who want rooftop water with altitude: the tower's clearance gives the pool deck more open sky than most mid-range rivals, and the 8.6 record suggests few operational surprises. Summer visitors and photographers of flat-horizon cities will get their money's worth. Look elsewhere for boutique character or a lively roof bar; the appeal is the deck itself, not a scene around it.
- ✓Swim late on summer afternoons, when the deck catches the long light and the water has held the day's warmth.
- ✓Check the pool's seasonal calendar before winter bookings; tower decks are exposed and often shut once the cold arrives.
- ✓Reserve mornings for the quietest water; the deck typically stays near-empty before the breakfast rush ends.
