Argentina’s economy, after famously melting down at the turn of this century, seems to have rebounded handsomely, at least if the spate of recent hotel openings is any indication — forget about inflation or GDP, the Boutique Hotel Index is the only measure that matters to us. Suddenly it seems that around every corner in Buenos Aires there’s a stylish new hotel going up, and good ones too — and near the top of the class of 2006 is the ultra-modern Buenos Aires cE, Design Hotel.
The building, by the porteño architect Ernesto Goransky, stands in sharp contrast to its location on the Parisian-looking Rodriguez Peña Square, in Buenos Aires’s Barrio Norte. Rooms go from compact and efficient to large and lofty, but all look out through full-length windows and feature flat-screen televisions that pivot for universal viewing. What they may lack in coziness they make up for in visual impact, and the views from the balcony suites are particularly extraordinary.
There’s a small bar and café, and not much more, but no matter — in today’s Buenos Aires, no hotel is an island. Buenos Aires cE, Design Hotel’s location is a highly desirable one, whether for nightlife, culture, or shopping — the latter, along the Avenida Santa Fe, is some of the best in the city.
How to get there:
Buenos Aires cE, Design Hotel is approximately a 45 minute drive from Ezeiza International Airport, 15 minutes from the Domestic Airport, and 15 minutes from La Boca and Palermo Hollywood. Please contact customerservice@tablethotels.com to arrange airport transfers.

What I liked:
The location was optimal, the overall design was clean and modern.
We booked a two level loft suite with balcony which was very spacious and comfortable.
I loved how that they would get an expresso to the room almost before I hung up the phone.
What the hotel could do better:
The staff were fine, in that I can't think of any specific complaint or failings on their part, but neither did they shine in terms of friendliness or attentiveness. For example, during check out the process was interrupted as the staff began dealing with other guests' issues while we were left to stand around waiting. They had to be prompted to return to, and finish dealing with us.
