Alvear Palace Hotel-Leading Hotels Of The World

Classy, authentic, spacious and clean rooms/facilities. Very well trained, prompt yet kind personnel. Excellent atmosphere everywhere. Amazing, amazing, amazing authentic architecture and fine details all around. I’m sure when the personnel will recognize us, due to multiple stays, it will feel like home away from home.

A very much below expectation swimming pool and its indoors area around. Too small and the water is way too hot, and why is it opened so late in the morning and closed so early in the evening ? Also, too bad dinner is not served within the breakfast area. I was hoping to formally dine there ( we only had the grill as option and we didn’t chose it). It would also be nice to enjoy a piano/arp/ accordion player in the evenings while dining within the breakfast room or enjoying an after dinner cocktail at the bar.

The location is awesome and the hotel is absolutely beautiful. The staff at the rooftop bar is very accommodating and the rooms spacious and comfortable.

No coffee machine in the room.

"Grand" hotel style. Reeked of history and class. Golden key concierges who were brilliant Very comfortable large bed and top quality linens Excellent breakfast Great location. The van booked for the airport on departure of 3 of us (with copious luggage) was late so the concierges organised two cars from the hotel, no problem and my driver was older and fascinating with history of BA. Service today discrete - probably the same as 50 years ago - Substance without pretension!

We arrived from a cruise at 10.30hrs so room not ready - fair enough and expected but we should have been given an automatic reservation for lunch while we waited. Instead restaurant full but one of the concierges re-directed us to an excellent Italian restaurant nearby.
