This is a great hotel! The restaurant is very good ... Bourgogne or so ...
Nearby are plenty of upscale shops. Mrs. USAFAN purchased some nice leather items in an upscale shop opposite Alvear Palace. We filled out a form and got the tax back!
The Opera is a little far, still we walked .. nice street. They have tours. We had a Mozart concert there - great performance.
One of the big upscale shop/galleria is about 10 min. away towars a rail station .. forgot the name .. think it is on Av. Libertad .. was a slaughter-house or so(?)
