Great Hotel, I have stayed numerous times in 2004, 2005 & 2006 while on business.
The Hotel is one of the oldest (1908) in the city so it lacks some of the services (in room hi speed internet) taken for granted in newer hotels but it has what I consider the best location in the city.
What I like best is that almost everything is within walking distance or a short cab ride (under USD $5.00)
Staff are very friendly and helpful. Make sure you request a park view room as they are the newer rooms with the best view of the area. Avoid the Junior Suites as they have not been renovated recently and tend to face the elevators.
A full course breakfast (Excellent! hot and cold) can be included in the room rate (average USD $150-250)
The hotel is on the end of Florida Avenue which is about 10 blocks of all types of shopping (great for clothing, shoes or leather goods). No cars are permited on the street so there is lots of space for walking.
It is close to lots of fine dining such as the Puerto Madero district (the docks). Don't miss Cabana Las Lilas or Bice. For inexpensive meals try El Establo on Paraguay 489, just behind the hotel, great meal for 2 (try the lomo, its one of the best in the city) with wine and tip won't set you back more than USD$30.00
If you enjoy crafts, leather goods or local art try the weekend markets at Recoleta.
There is additional shopping on Av Alvear (High end designer goods) and Av Santa Fe (Mid priced goods), both a short walk from the hotel.
Another good place for high end goods is Patio Bullrich on Av. Del Liberartador, about a 10 minute walk from the hotel.
If you are into designer clothing go to the Christian Dior outlet on 3057 Lafinur. Mens 2 piece suits sell for USD$300 to $400, shirts for USD $30 to 80.

| Marriott Plaza Hotel Buenos Aires: Executive Level 1 Bedroom Junior Suite

As a Marriott Rewards member we decided to stay here during one of our visits to Buenos Aires. The hotel is quite nice with excellent front desk service. We arrived before check-in sometime around 1 pm and were checked in immediately. We were staying at a Junior Executive Room during this stay.
The porter took our key and bags with walked us to our room, he opened the door and brought our bags in and showed us the room. He informed us about the Executive Level and also told us if we needed anything to ring the front desk.
The room, a Junior Suite was quite nice with a living area that had a nice couch and two chairs, a credenza and a screen tv, a desk and chair along the wall with internet hookup. The bedroom was amazing, it was beautifully decorated with dark furnishings, a nice chaise lounge chair at the foot of the bed, a dresser with another screen tv, and the bed linens were very soft. The bed was amazing to sleep in and we had an excellent nights sleep.
The bathroom was to the right of the bedroom as you enter with a large walkin closet, an ironing board and iron. The bathroom was a nice size with a marble sink, hair dryer and a good size bathtub.
The Hotel also has a restaurant (we did not use it) a business center with internet access (at a fee), a concierge and of course their executive level lounge, where we spent a few nice evenings enjoying some drinks (at no cost) as well as plates of assorted cheeses, fruits, other drinks like water or soda, cakes and other sorts of sweets.
We definitely enjoyed the convenient location, around the corner from Florida Street and across the street from Plaza San Martin. The hotel treated us excellent and the room was beautiful, clean, and very comfy.
I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay at the Marriott Plaza Buenos Aires using Marriott Points back in 2001. The hotel staff was very nice, even though we were very late due to flight delays and bad weather. They were also very gay-friendly, which is important to us. Also, on the day we checked out, they let us use the Health Club facilities to shower and change, which was great considering flights to the US don't leave until 10 PM and checkout is at noon. The pool is also nice and the location is very central to all attractions and Florida street.
Two small gripes:
1) At the time we stayed, we could see our rooms needed a bit of attention (especially the paint peeling because of humidity around the window). The bathroom was great though, all done in marble
2) Not their fault, but a word of caution - we stayed around St. Patrick's day, and all the irish bars are around the corner (about two blocks away). Now, on St Patrick's Day, the street where this bars are gets closed down, there's a street party and it gets pretty busy and noisy - so watch out if you are planning to stay around March 17!

| Marriott Plaza Hotel Buenos Aires: Very nice old hotel

I was here for business for two weeks, so i really got a good feel for the hotel. It's very nice, but a little old. The service was great, and the decor is charming, but the room was a little dark, and generic. There was also no internet access in the room, which was a problem for me being on business. Otherwise, it was very nice, and the location was great, very close to shopping, and restaurants.
