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

Concierge ""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." Full review
Star Service "Three kilometers from the Microcentro area, this unusual and innovative property is the polar opposite of the Four Seasons and Alvear Palace, a contrast of new money versus old." Full review
BlackBook "High concept Phillipe Starck-designed rager in historic grain silo sits super pretty on the waterfront."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"The red brick exterior of Faena Hotel Buenos Aires projects a low profile, but the interiors of the luxury hotel are bathed in rich reds and black marble, creating a sexy, dramatic ambiance." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
