Frommer's Highly Recommended

The Claridge is living testimony to the once close ties between England and Argentina. The grand entrance with its imposing Ionic columns mimics a London terrace apartment, and the lobby was renovated in 2002 in a classical style with colored marbles. Guest rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities expected of a five-star hotel. The restaurant's hunting-theme wood-paneled interior is a registered city landmark and offers good value, with carefully prepared international food for as little as US$8 (£4.20) and an inviting breakfast buffet included in the rates. Because it occasionally hosts conventions, the Claridge can become very busy. The rates at this hotel can go down significantly when booking promotions via the website, pushing it into the moderate category.
