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 lobby area was simple yet functional and very cool design-wise
What the hotel could do better:
The bathroom shower was leaking - they should not give out rooms that they have problems with. Staff attitude was very disappointing - the check-in staff was on the phone most of the time while he was checking us in. At check-out, he made us wait 15 minutes until someone had to go up to the room to confirm that we didn't take anything from the minibar although I told him that we didn't. He could have just easily charged me afterwards too. It was just such an unpleasant feeling, especially when we were trying to be punctual about making it to the airport.

What I liked:
The hotel was everything we wanted, contemporary design, clean, well located, not to large, the staff were very friendly, were able to explain what to do, what to see, where to eat with excellent directions. There was on person her name was Maiteen, she went out of her way to help us. All the staff seemed to be proud of both the hotel and the city and were part of what made our stay so enjoyable.
We only wished we had stayed in one of the the plaza suites, it was incredible.
What the hotel could do better:
The room we stayed in could have had a little more drawer storage, apart from that it was great.
The breakfast was good but a bit basic, more items would have been a good thing.
