Ribera Sur Hotel  

In San Telmo, Buenos Aires — a small boutique design hotel on Paseo Colón, steps from Plaza Dorrego and a short walk to Puerto Madero. Casa Rosada, Plaza de Mayo and the Obelisco are all within easy reach, putting Buenos Aires sights close at hand.

This minimalist, design-forward hotel has just 16 air-conditioned rooms finished in warm tones of mahogany, beige and ochre. Rooms feature king-size beds, minibars and Smart/ satellite TVs; some offer kitchenette touches like a microwave and tea and coffee facilities. Bathrooms include showers (and some rooms with bathtubs) plus bidets, hairdryers and blackout drapes. Public spaces show local artwork and a multi-purpose room houses a home theatre, library and display cabinets.

Take a dip in the seasonal outdoor pool or lounge in the garden and solarium. There’s a bar, cafe and a small on-site restaurant, plus a concierge, luggage storage and free Wi‑Fi in public areas and rooms. The hotel also offers an internet corner, a BBQ area and chill spots for board games and evening drinks.

Business-friendly features include a conference/multi-purpose room, an internet corner and complimentary wired and wireless internet. The hotel also provides a 24-hour front desk, elevator and luggage storage for convenience.

The intimate restaurant (about 40 seats) serves a small, selected menu rich in classic Argentine flavors. Start mornings with a continental breakfast, grab coffee in the cafe and unwind with cocktails at the bar.
