"The 1929 Hotel Castelar was a stopping point for Spanish literary stars during the golden years of the 1930s."

Lonely Planet
"The high-ceilinged lobby is grand but the furniture’s a bit worn, and while the standard rooms are just good enough the superiors are more what you’d expect for a fancy hotel."

DK Eyewitness
"A classic in the city’s political hub, the Castelar is a good-value, traditional, mid-range hotel with lovely views of the bustling Avenida de Mayo from many of its rooms."
Rough Guide
"This pleasant, old-fashioned hotel, where Spanish poet Federico García Lorca stayed when he was in town, offers attractive and soundproof, if slightly over-priced, rooms with big comfortable beds."
Time Out
"There's an elegant cocktail bar adjacent to the old-school lobby, conference facilities and, in the basement, a Turkish spa with steam rooms, a sauna and massage facilities."

""It's not just a hotel," the people who run this monstrous property in chic Puerto Madero Este... will tell you, "it's a universe." They may have a point."
Insight Guides
"This landmark property, with its long, red-carpeted corridors, Miami Vice-style pool bar and molecular-cuisine restaurant... is a feast for the senses."
DK Eyewitness
"Rooms are simply yet tastefully furnished Art Deco-style, with mirror-paneled cupboards and velvety carpets."
Rough Guide
"Buenos Aires’ hotel for the in-crowd, this former grain-storage building has been given a serious Philippe Starck makeover and now has a belle époque jazz bar."
Time Out
"Richly red and decadent, sleekly white and contemporary, and designed by Philippe Starck, this opulent, lavish lodging is cocooned in the shell of a red-brick former grain silo."
