A LUXURY HOLIDAY TO BUENOS AIRES

Buenos Aires combines the elegance of its European heritage with a character that is unmistakably Argentine.

We know the city’s hotels inside out and work with only a handful of favourites. If there is an upgrade available, we will get it for you. Our services in Argentina’s capital run from restaurant reservations and tango shows to arranging access to private art collections and boxes at the fabulous Teatro Colón.

Leaving Buenos Aires, the Pampas stretch out to the south and west. This is the land of the gaucho, tending cattle amid an empty horizon and cooking home-reared beef over open fires. We organise polo holidays for all levels and offer a selection of the loveliest estancias where you can ride, play a few chukkas, swim, and relax, whilst enjoying the famously generous local hospitality.

What to see and do in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires seamlessly blends European sophistication with Latin American energy.

The city’s neighborhoods, from the old town of San Telmo to elegant Recoleta and vibey Chacarita, each have a very distinct character, atmosphere and architecture.

Gastronomy is a highlight, with fabulous steakhouses and charming cafés dotting the streets, alongside independent venues for music and art.

Heading inland, the immense plains of Las Pampas provide a calming counterpoint to city life. This region, emblematic of Argentine rural traditions, invites visitors to experience the gaucho way of life, complete with horseback riding, artisanal traditions and asado barbecues.

Which is the best neighborhood in Buenos Aires to stay in?

While Argentina’s capital has undoubtedly developed a reputation for its fashionable and up-and-coming neighbourhoods, Palermo is the neigbourhood to be in. With a vibrant street art scene and bags of historical charm, it’s a hotspot for boutiques, restaurants and bars. It’s also where many of the city’s best sights and attractions are situated, from the peaceful Japanese Gardens to the iconic Malba Museum.

Recoleta is another excellent pick; this wealthy neighbourhood is home to opulent European-inspired architecture, with grand mansions and wide, tree-lined avenues that give it a distinctly European charm. Recoleta Cemetery is one of the city’s most iconic sites, and there is an abundance of green spaces, parks and plazas that lend themselves to a leisurely stroll.
How many days should I allow to explore Buenos Aires?

We suggest spending two or three days in the city, which gives you time to get a taste of its various different neighbourhoods and visit its most important cultural and historic landmarks. If you’re flying back home via Buenos Aires at the end of a longer trip, we always recommend staying in the capital the night before your flight, as connectivity in Argentina is imperfect and same-day connections through the capital can be risky.
When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?

The capital can be visited year-round, but spring (March – May) and autumn (September – November) are our favourite seasons, when the weather is temperate without being too hot. For polo fans, we recommend visiting in November or early December to catch the Argentine Triple Crown at Palermo’s world-famous Cathedral of Polo.
