Savoy Hotel
The Savoy Hotel is a classically styled building in the San Nicolás neighborhood of Buenos Aires, with wooden floors, modern rooms, and a lobby that keeps a clean, traditional look. It stands close to the Obelisco and Avenida Corrientes, placing it within easy reach of some of the city's most traveled streets.
The hotel opened in 1910, at a time when Buenos Aires was growing fast and European names and styles were seen as a mark of modernity. It went through several changes over the following decades, but remained a working hotel in the heart of the city throughout.
The name refers to the Savoy region in the Alps, a reference that in early Buenos Aires signaled European refinement to local and visiting guests alike. Today the hotel sits within a working city block, and people passing through the lobby become part of the ordinary rhythm of the surrounding streets.
The hotel is within walking distance of several of Buenos Aires's central points of interest, making it straightforward to explore the surrounding area on foot. Guests arriving early or leaving late can usually store luggage at the front desk and spend time in the neighborhood without having to rush.
The meeting rooms carry names from Greek mythology, such as Hermes, Nymphs, and Olympus, which stands out as an unusual detail in otherwise ordinary conference spaces. The Corner Suites face two streets at once, giving a wider view of the intersection below than any of the standard rooms.
