It's a nice PH--though getting a bit dated from what I've seen.
We despised the Four Seasons. It felt like it could have been anywhere unless you're in the Mansion. We weren't overly impressed with the service or F&B, either.
Those 3 hotels are just a few blocks from each other. The Alvear is slightly more convenient for the Recoleta and Palermo areas of the city, but the location is good for all of them.
The Faena is a very W/Edition-esque chic design hotel with a high energy and beautiful people crowd. The club and pool and dining there are great if you like the higher energy/club scene or prefer a very chic and youthful ambience. It's a 15-20 min drive from the other hotels, closer to the Puerto Maldonado section of town.
ah, I plan to be in recoleta and palermo soho / palermo hollywood so if the Faena is a hike I guess it’s out. Will look into the Alvear if the FS is a 👎🏻. Thx!
