Hotel near EZE
 

I arrive at EZE around 8 at night and am driving to Mar Del Plata the next am. Are there any decent hotels near EZE and maybe a good steak house? Thanks for the help.

I would strongly suggest against staying at EZE. Just go into town, get a room for the night, have a great meal and then drive to Mar del Plata.

Also... Steakhouses are pretty much a US invention. There are no true or authentic steakhouses in Argentina..... there are, however, many tourist traps.

Are you looking for a high-end dead cow experience or do you just want a place where the local would eat a good piece of meat....???

I'm looking for a good steak. I've been to BA a few times so I can find a good restaurant. How hard will it be to get from Palermo to the highway to Mar del Plata in the am. I can get rolling around 7. Or should I stay in Recoleta or another neighborhood? Then I can work on dinner. Thanks.

Have you ever driven in the city? If it were me, this would be the (pretty much only) reason I'd stay at the Holiday Inn kinda-sorta near EZE, eat at the asador next door, and start my drive from there.

In the Ezeiza Area, the best place is El Mangrullo... its owned by the same guy that own the Holiday Inn, he is also the "mayor" of Ezeiza County.

I have not driven in the city but I have driven in Argentina. I was not looking forward to fighting the traffic. The HI may be perfect. HI is now booked-thanks.

Remember to get some small bills to pay the autopista tolls.

If you have time and care to come back and report how your stay at the HI was, that would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be glad to report on the hotel and restaurant

I've been curious about that restaurant for years, and the hotel - well, it looks like the airport-side end has finally been enclosed. (The hotel opened before construction was completed.)

Excellent !!! Look forward to your review.

Yes... it was scary with it first opened. Cant help but think that the only reason the city gave the place an operating license to "soft open" like that was because of the ownership..... :rolleyes:

I was there last night. I have to say that I was impressed. The hotel was new and nice and reasonably priced. Much better than what I normally expect a Holiday Inn to be like. There was some type of conference going on so lots of security was around. I would definitely stay there if you had any reason to be near EZE. And the restaurant was good too. Not the most extensive menu I have seen for an Argentine steak house but the service was good, food was very good and the prices reasonable. It had a little ambience and the oja de bife was very nice. For an airport hotel when comparing to US airport hotels, it was much nicer than you would expect. I give it a thumbs up.

Thanks for the report. How was your drive?
