This is a gem of a hotel in the prestigious Recoleta area of Buenos Aires. Renovated, 100+ yr old building with so much history and Old World character and charm. The breakfast buffet is very complete, omelette very good. The lunch/dinner restaurant serves elevated cuisine. Best of all, the staff is super helpful and friendly.

The staff at Hotel Club Frances knows what they are doing and go out of their way to make your stay there comfortable and welcoming from room upgrades to transportation to restaurant reservations. I can't say enough nice things about this hotel. It is small but the rooms are spacious and comfortable as are the bathrooms. The location can't be beat. Will stay again!
