The only decent hotel near the airport (Holiday Inn) is (1) several KMs from the airport, and (2) there is nothing nearby, except a (reportedly) very good restaurant. Since you are looking at a 30 to 45 minute afternoon ride from most parts of the city, I'd just stay wherever you wish, and allow for an extra few minutes of transit if necessary. From San Telmo, you're looking at a 30 minute afternoon ride to EZE (assuming no accidents, etc.) which would be the "closest" tourist-friendly area to EZE. There's a Curio (by Hilton) and several boutique hotels.

The Curio is called the Anselmo . We have stayed a couple of times and its pretty decent although the rooms are a little small . Very close to La Brigada , if you fancy some good steak on your last night

Note that the ATMs that you'd find by arrivals (after customs, before you go outside) are gone because of construction. Are there any remaining that might be convenient for arriving pax?

Answering my own question - there are temporary-looking HBSC machines to the left of the landside Banco Nacion. After you leave the customs hall, you'd make almost a U turn to your right, and there are some isolated "temporary" check in counters, and you'll see the machines. Not a particularly easy find. But when you see the Banco, you'll be able to find the machines.

Hello All,

I am considering a connection in a couple weeks at EZE doing the following:

Arriving on Lufthansa from FRA (in Terminal A it seems, from what I've read)
Departing on KLM to SCL (appears KLM is in Terminal C)
Time between arrival and departure is 1 hour
Separate tickets, and I will only have carry-on bag... plan is to have mobile BPs on my phone

Is it possible to make this connection from LH to KL staying airside, without passing thru immigration? Is one hour too tight?

Thanks!

All international arrivals/departures are from the same airside part of the terminal notwithstanding any terminal monikers. There is a transit security area (before you get to immigration) and then are int'l airside again.

Any updates on what one can expect to find at the Domestic departures area of Terminal C? On my trip later this year, I'm arriving EZE with a connection on AR to BRC. I've only ever done domestic flights via AEP so not familiar with this part of EZE. Thanks!

thanks for the link...

Buquebus strike?
 

There have been lay offs , so it is entirely possible

I havent seen anything covered in the local press these days. If you want to play it 100% safe, check and see if you can book a refundable fare. Depending on where you want to go, Buquebus is not the only carrier. There is also Colonia Express, which I think it not related to Buquebus so that may be a better option....?

Perhaps others can chime in here....?

EZE is getting a massive overhaul that includes a new terminal, expansion of existing facilities, more restaurants and shops, etc. - so this means that things are in constant change. Check back often to get updates.

If you fly into EZE in the afternoon and then again fly out in the afternoon, you would be making a very silly mistake if you stayed close to EZE. I suggest you find a place in Palermo where you will be able to enjoy the last part of the afternoon, have a great dinner and perhaps enjoy the bar scene... and then the next day you can have a proper lunch before going to the airport.

If you want a nice small luxury hotel (that will NOT break your budget), I suggest you look into the 1828 Smart Hotel. Various FlyerTalkers have stayed there before and have had very positive experiences.

What dates are you in town...?

Cheers,

Thanks for the advice Alex! Regarding your question, we just landed 2 hours ago back home here in Europe :)
After the first 3 days/2nights in Palermo SOHO, and then 1,5days/2nights in Puerto Iguazu, we choose San Telmo area for our last night. Since we had eaten a lot of meat in the previous days, we went for our last night to El Baqueano for some Argentinian fine dining.
