The ebullient capital of Argentina welcomes visitors with flair. Live it up in a grand 19th-century mansion, a belle époque building or a “casa chorizo” – so-named for its thin sausage-like shape, set around an elegant courtyard. Better still, the owners of these beds and breakfast in Buenos Aires will greet you with open arms. Here’s our pick of the best – bookable on Culture Trip.

Hotel, Luxury

Rest where Francis Ford Coppola did while filming Tetro (2009) – in the legendary director’s stunning home in Buenos Aires. Sitting in hip Palermo Soho, luxurious rooms are tastefully designed, sporting plenty of gaucho (cowboy) chicness, while Coppola generously shares his private videoteca (cinema library) in the well-appointed living room. A small swimming pool and flower-filled patio complete this very personal stay.

Posada Gotan

Close to the offbeat neighborhood of Parque Patricios, this charming 19th-century property is centered around a delightful courtyard lined with potted palms. Exposed brick walls in the rooms and terracotta tile floors throughout ensure an authentic Buenos Aires stay, while common areas include the bijou kitchen and breakfast room, where organic delights, sourced from small local producers, are served. Owners Thibaud and Gabriela created this bed and breakfast in Buenos Aires in the house their Italian great-grandparents built and go out of their way today to make sure this familial legacy lives on.

Palermo Viejo Bed and Breakfast

Lofty ceilings and walls decorated with works by local artists await you at Palermo Viejo – a former factory-turned-B&B set in a casa chorizo where its owner was born. Retaining much of its original architectural details, the stylish rooms – some spread across two floors – are adorned with artistic flourishes. Take the continental breakfast in the chandeliered reading room or outside on the bijou patio.

On the top floor of an early-20th-century belle époque building, this charming Buenos Aires guesthouse is a cozy bolthole in the heart of sophisticated Recoleta – a short walk from the famous cemetery where Eva Perón, the first lady of Argentina from 1946 to 1952, is buried. Each room has an eclectic character, with stacked traveling trunks and quilted throws, while shared spaces include a vibrant living room with a fireplace and a delightful roof terrace where you can enjoy the continental breakfast.

Lugar Gay de Buenos Aires

This B&B opened exclusively for gay men in the heart of bustling San Telmo and has become a reference point for LGBTQ travelers. Communal spaces at Lugar Gay de Buenos Aires include a jacuzzi, a mini-gym and a sunny roof terrace with loungers, while there’s a range of rooms to meet all budgets – from singles to four-bed dorms with shared bathrooms.

La Boca Bed and Breakfast

This first-floor, adults-only B&B is in the heart of La Boca, within walking distance of the Caminito (an open-air art gallery painted by Argentine muralist Benito Quinquela Martín in the 1950s) and La Bombonera (the Boca Juniors football stadium). Simple yet elegant rooms make good use of space to create a mezzanine-style loft tier. Communal areas, such as the comfy living room and intimate patio, are shared with the owners, who also live at the property and are on hand for any tips you need.

Bed and Breakfast Polo

With a small yet welcome outdoor swimming pool, garden and patio, and rooms set within a 19th-century house in Belgrano, Bed and Breakfast Polo offers an authentic residential-area experience. Homey rooms are compact, though some include a balcony. Our tip? Take the simple continental breakfast served on fine china in the sunny garden.

Altos de Agronomía

Bed and Breakfast

Sitting in the smallest barrio in Buenos Aires, Parque Chas, Altos de Agronomía offers a peaceful stay in an undiscovered leafy neighborhood. Owners Mercedes and Néstor opted for a traditional look, with the three spacious rooms decorated with hand-knit throws and rugs. Enjoy the continental breakfast in the lush garden. Using public transport or taking taxis is a must if you’re keen to discover other districts.

Defensa 821

Honest prices and affordable style are on the menu at Defensa 821, a unique property with a fantastic location; it’s a block from the famous Plaza Dorrego in San Telmo, known for its lively open-air tango performances. Simple yet spacious rooms are accompanied by breakfast, while the terrace provides gloriously unadulterated views of Buenos Aires. The friendly and helpful staff complete the service.

This casa was built in 1910 as a family home and later transformed into a conventillo (boarding house). Today, it’s the 06 Soho Suites Bed and Breakfast. Only two blocks from Plaza Serrano, it’s conveniently placed for taking in the nightlife and dozens of restaurants in Palermo. Alternatively, walk downstairs to La Cabrera, a legendary steakhouse where nightly lines snake around the block. Contemporary and minimalist rooms have wooden shuttered windows, allowing abundant natural light to flood in, and many have stylish wrought-iron balconies overlooking the tree-lined street below.

Posada Palermo Buenos Aires

Bed and Breakfast

Live the casa chorizo architectural experience at the 19th-century home, Posada Palermo. This delightful property in the heart of Palermo Viejo (Old Palermo) is within walking distance of the bustling nightlife scene of Palermo Soho. Spacious rooms maintain original features such as wooden floors, while lofty ceilings ensure plenty of light and space. Communal areas include the garden and loft-style dining room with exposed brick. The architect-artist owner has pets, so you’ll feel like one of the family in no time.
