Hotels in Palermo/Recoleta - Buenos Aires

Hiya! I've been told the best places to stay in Buenos Aires would be either Palermo or Recoleta. However, I'm having trouble tracking down hotels in these areas as most of the places thrown up by the online hotel websites seem to be in the centre of town which I heard is a bit deserted at night. I would apprecitate any suggestions about places to stay in Palmermo/Barrio Norte/Recoleta and would be interested in hotels or b and bs. Looking forward to visiting fantastic Buenos Aires again in May.:)

very downtown is pretty desert at night, because that area is full of offices, but some streets ago you have more activity.
are your a club/bar goer? or just want to walk around, go to a restaurant, a Cafe, people watching...?
as you're asking for hotels and B&B and not hostels I assume that your budget is up than u$s 40 but still I don't know how much you are ready to pay.

the places you mentioned are nices, Recoleta is the most expensive, but plenty of life
Palermo Hollywood is an area plenty of nice restaurants.

this one is a nice hotel in Recoleta:

Hotel Impala - Recoleta
a single room is one hundred dollars. I think there are cheaper and of course, more expensive than this.

this is a simple hotel in Palermo
Hotel Palermo
a single room is one hundred ten pesos. But it's not on a main street.

this is a B&B in Palermo, looks nice:
www.laotraorilla.com.ar<BR>it's in Palermo Viejo...I lived my first six years near there, a calm area.
the prices go from dollars 35 to dollars 140, depending the room you take.

This is in Barrio Norte:
Laprida 1168 - Apparts and Gardens
they rent appartments. Interesting location. Minimun stay 4 days. Price from eighty five pesos to one hundred forty pesos, a day. Or five hundred pesos to eight hundred fifty pesos a week. You have kitchen with all what you need and are in your own.

hope this helps.

Hi I stayed one week in a shared appart. on Corrientes which is very busy at night ,(theatre area) .Had private large room with lock.Shared facilities very clean and spacious large balcony.Very sweet helpful owner called Esther.WWW.homestay-buenos-aires.com
Broadwaybsas@yahoo.com it cost 100 dollars US for a week

Thanks for your suggestions which I will certainly check out. I think my budget will be up to and around $100 per night so hopefully should get something for that in Palmermo (bed and breakfast perhaps).

Actually with that budget you could rent a sweet apartment very close to everything...But understand that you will pay more then a local or even a Spanish speaking person...but if you are willing to spend your mentioned budget you can get a great apartment...with everything you would need...

Hi All,

I am looking for somewhere to stay for 2 nights with a friend, we will be staying a Monday and a Tuesday night and just want somewhere that is near good bars and restaurants with a budget of max US$100 per night.

I will prob be jet lagged so somewhere clean and comfortable would be good. Is there much night life earlier in the week in BA?
