Does anyone know which hotels if any have american pay per view movies. I am looking for a hotel with as much American television as possible. Also has anyone tried bringing a DVD player and movies. Do televisions in Argentina have different inputs? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
When I was last October in BA I asked Myra to make a reservation for me at the Etoil in Recoleta. That was the smartest thing to do. I got the local rate, Myra made some commission and I am sure when I come next time I get again the preferential treatment. I do not mind spending money but I want to have also a return on my investment.
Again - if you need a hotel in BA - ask Myra. She can tell you what your really can expect and if it is worth your money.

Hotel Etoile has been chica friendly for many years.
Can someone give me an update on this subject.
I've heard that you can bring in more than one girl at the same time which one couldn't on ´my two previous visits.
Robert,
PM jamesbond69. He's staying there now.

I tried to bring two back last night and they let me but I had to pay an extra 50 pesos.
Still all in all the etoile is still the best place to stay, a real value considering the location, staff and the health club.
Regarding the question of more than one visitor -
You might want to consider Hotel Grand Boulevard. It's out of Recoleta down by the Obeliska on 9 De Julio, about 10 minutes from Recoleta or 5 from Suipacha area. It's a new place and is very chica friendly. Suites are around 70 per day and regular rooms about 40. It is a lot nicer than Etoile, but does not have a gym. The most chicas I have had there at once is 3. Mickey Mouse put me onto this place.

This place was a very pleasant surprise. Located in Retiro right between Centro and Recoleta and easy walking distance from both, I found it exceptionally clean and well provisioned. Travelocity has an executive suite listed at $150 per night, but you can book it direct for $100 via their website. Excellent king size bed and a wonderfully appointed bathroom. Best selling point is the outdoor rooftop pool on the 12th floor with adjoining gym and a great view, and the lobby restaurant Vivaldi.
The staff are friendly, efficient, and very professional. They always had someone on the desk who spoke English. I suppose there may be better deals in BA for the super price conscious folks, but for my money this place has just the kind of laid back quality and close to everything location I love. Chica friendly with a smile.
Bozology rates it a 9.
Does anyone have any info on the Penthouse of the ulises recoletta. Is it guest friendly, modern, ect. Are there other places close by of similar or better value. Is it large enough to have a small party / meeting of say 8 to 10 people?
Thanks
Doing a one night layover in Buenos Aires enroute to Chile. I want to know of any 4 or 5 star chica-friendly hotel in the center where I can just walk to where the action is...I mean walk to the clubs where the girls are at and be able to bring them back to the room.
Location is a priority and not the price. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
HC,
LoisSuites Recoleta is probably your best bet. ~US$115 a night right next to Recoleta Cemetery.
Alvear Palace is in the same area, and is the best hotel in BsAs (you said money is no object!), but I don't know if it is chica friendly or not.

Hobbyinhouston,
I stayed in the penthouse at the Ulisses on my 2nd trip last year. The hotel was very guest friendly, I never had to sign in a guest, and you can have as many guests at a time as you want. The hotel is small but clean, modern, but not by US standards. As to the question of a party, the salon is large with a skylight (great lighting throughout the suite for photography), but you will have seating for only seven or eight including barstools, I think there are two chairs in the bedroom you could also use if needed. The bar is great complete with a sink, and they will bring in an additional fridge if needed. There are 1 and 1/2 bathrooms which makes it convenient to entertain, and the only complaint I have about the suite is there is no bath tub, and the shower is so small you can barely turn around in it. The chicas loved the room, many of them commenting on how large it is for a hotel. It feels more like an apartment with the layout of the rooms.
The staff were very friendly and accomodating, the restaurant is small and you are better off eating elsewhere. The lobby is small and they keep it locked at night, with a 24 hr desk man to buzz you in. Great location accross the street from Alvear Palace, and kitty corner to Black, just one block to the Etoile and all the restaurants.
Hope this is helpful, pm me if you have any questions.
EZE :)
Ho_Chaser the Alvear Palace is very Chica friendly and Black is right across the street --- Last I checked the rooms were in the $400 USD range --- Also the next best place is the Four Seasons Hotel which is of course where Fidel Castro stays when hes in town --- Either one you'll have a good time --- By the way I made friends with the door man at the Alvear Palace and he was telling me stories of the former president of Argentina Menan whom kept a suite at the Alvear Palace --- He'd drive in in his Limo to the under ground parking lot, get in the elevator in the garage and go directly to his room --- His body guards would then go across the street to Black and fetch his sweetie pie, put her on the elevator in the main lobby up to his room so they could fuck --- True Story
Thanks for all the recommendations. I shouldn't have said that price is not an issue..it is, but I am good up to $206 USD for lodging expense. I am going to price the Four Seasons to see if they're within the budget even though this is just an overnight stay in Buenos Aires. The Etoile is a about $20 USD over, but I may be able to justify it.
Any other recommendations as far as hotels within $200 USD, to include the ideal walking distance to the locations where I need to monger at? I really don't want to take a taxi, so I prefer a location that is convenient for walking. I will be coming in from the Middle East, so I'll be jet-lagged and bone-tired and would only want to fuck and relax, and maybe even get a massage, LOL! Thanks again for the prompt replies.
Keep on having fun!
Ho_chaser,
I am staying at the Etoile next week for less than $100/night. Call them directly and you will get a better deal.
Hope this helps,
Dogus
Ho_Chaser --- I think your best option is Otto's recomendation LoisSuites on Vincente Lopez right in the heart of things --- Excellent accomadations, a truly first class hotel and very Chica friendly --- Your only other option worth considering would be the Etoile, which is truly a dog house --- I won't stay there, but it has one perk worth considering --- If you rent a diplomatic suite, (about $100 USD), it comes with a large hot tub which would easly hold 4 or 5 people --- Now consider this --- If its only going to be a one night fling you might want to consider the hot tub and hire 2 or 3 girls and make it a real fuck fest --- Have a good time and I'll bet you return to Buenos Aires --- Exon
I have to agree with Bozology regarding Argenta Towers, I was there for the past week and was not dissapointed. Call Mayra from Argentinago to get a better rate, I had a King, prepaid for around US60 including taxes and breakfast, however, I did book that before Christmas. Also, if you search the 12th floor along with the gym there is a steam room and a private room with a massage table set up, didn't use either, but its nice to know.

Hi guys, I'm coming in BA the 23rd feb, Mayra from Argentinago.com suggest me the Murano and the Melia.
I've read many posts and both are good, anyone could suggest me from a monger point of view is better?
I'll be around for a while so if anyone would like to have a wingman, just let me know.
Mongers regards to all.
Meliá is good, but I have no experience concerning chica friendlyness.
Nice room, U$S 90,- through Mayra, free high speed internet in room.
El Alemán
I vote for the Etoile.
I know it's gotten a bad rap on the list, primarily from Uncle Otto, but I don't know why? Beds are bumpy? The hotel is rundown? OK, a bit but this is a true three star hotel in everyway.
The location is ideal for mongering - right between Affaire Recoleta and Blacks, the staff first rate and the price very reasonable for what you get (check with Mayra for a special rate).
And I LOVE the health club, heated pool with retractable roof on the top floor.
It's chica friendly if the chica is over 18 (fair enough)
The only bad news is that you have to pay 50 pesos extra if you want to bring in two chicas if you are into that (I'm not anymore - done that, been there)
Big deal. If you go into the Alcapulco transitorio in Recoleta will charge you an additional 125 pesos and that's just for an hour!
Hey James, enough of this pimping for the Etoile, when are we going to read about "Banned from Blacks" and all the other topics you promised us?
-Uncle Otto
I was in October in BA and stayed in LoiSuites in Recoleta. Excellent place, good rooms, no problem bringing girls. Only one night I had a small problem (5$ fixed it) bringing two girls back.
Mayra of Argentinago made the reservations for me. She got a little commission and I got an excellent room.

The Murano is a nice hotel. New, free high speed Internet, frieas about 85 USD/night and a suite wandly staff, good breakfast. Right next to Cafe Excedra which puts it just a short taxi ride from the clubs in Recoleta (I recall it was 7-8 pesos). There are less expensive places as a regular room ws about 125 USD (that was through Mayra). I was very happy with the suite. No problems bringing girls back but only one at a time.
Etoile is a great location and the public area looks very nice but a lousy bed is a dealbreaker.
Which of the following has the best location in terms of being in a nice and relatively quiet neighbourhood, good surroundings, and yet close the core action areas, Murano, Melia, Loisuites Recoleta, Park Chateau Kempinski Hotel or Park Plaza Kempinski Hotel?
This is my virgin trip to BA, on business, and some pleasure ;) so appreciate all the help!
DFB, thanks for the review on Hotel Cristoforo Colombo. I always wondered about it. Unfortunately it's gone from a $25 hotel to a $75 one on Travelocity. Oh well, it's back to Dazzler for me.
Peter P:
LoiSuite Reoleta matches your request best, however, it is not exactly cheap. A few months back I posted on this hotel.
I just noticed that my posting on the Murano was garbled. Here's a revised posting:
The Murano is a nice hotel. New, free high speed Internet, decent sized rooms with good beds, excellent bathrooms, a friendly staff, and a good breakfast. It's right on Carlos Pelegrini and just a few doors down from Cafe Excedra. It's just a short taxi ride from the clubs in Recoleta
There are less expensive places as a regular room was about 85 USD and a suite was about 125 USD (that was through Mayra). I was very happy with the suite which included a whirlpool tub and a king bed. My room was on the front with a balcony overlooking Carlos Pelegrini (no traffic noise). No problems bringing girls but you have to register them at the desk (which I prefer anyway) and only one at a time.
The only drawback is that it's in a business area that's fairly deserted after 6pm. Good shopping in the area during the day.
JustGotBack,
Sorry to hear the news about Hotel Cristoforo Colombo's price practically tripling over the last 3 months. It was a good find in a pretty cool neighborhood.
Anyone know of a decent hotel in an interesting residential neighborhood (not right in the heart of the mongering activity in Recoleta nor in Microcentre) that is fairly inexpensive, and has an indoor pool?
I'd like to return to BA sometime when it's not the summer down there but would like the option of swimming.
Thanks in advance for your help.
DfB
I know the Loissuites in Recoleta gets rave reviews. Has anyone ever stayed at the other ones in BA? They are less than half the cost.
Fellows,
A lot of you seems to get good hotel rates through Mayra.
Would someone please PM me her contact details.
Thanks in advance.
Junior
Junior, her email is MayraBrill@argentina.com.
This may be a new address for some fellows - the old one still works, but as of now she's using this email addy as much as possible.

A business associate has made reservations for me at the Plaza San Martin Suites. It looks like a great location. Does anyone have any information on this hotel? Is it chica friendly?
Hi guys, I will be in BA for my first time next week.
I've booked true Mayra in Murano Hotel.
Suggestion and new report about activities are welcome, if you wanna join me please PM.
Plaza San Martin is chica friendly. The german gal at the desk might frown a bit. I was with a chica there last year and at 4AM the front desk calls up that there is another girl here, should I send her up? I said no thanks. The other one called 15 min later and sure enough it was the one I thought. Just nice that they did not send her up. An example of good hotel managment.
Also, I suggest the exec suite so you have a seperate bedroom.

I am here at the Marbella and have discovered that the departmento or apartment is NOT an apartment with a kitchen or anything but just a big two bedroom hotel room with four beds. So, forget what I said about that. Sorry!
I have a question about Apart Hotel Recoleta. I've stayed there in the past and just booked it again for next week. But looking at a post from December, it seems that they have a no guest policy now. Is that still the case? If so, I need to cancel my reservation.
Hey, Guys:
For HOTEL RESERVATIONS, you know you can count on Mayra. Actually she has a big selection of hotels in different price ranges and in different areas of the city.
HER NEW EMAIL ADDRESS IS: MAYRABRILL@ARGENTINA.COM
HER NEW CELL. PHONE IS: 155 307 3300. In service since March,23rd.
Kisses, Roxana.
So I talked to the front desk at Apart Recoleta. They said that they still do allow guests. The only change now is that the guest has to register. I can live with it. They've always been great to me. They even allow me to check out 10 hours late on my last day without charging any extra. Good for those flights leaving at night.
Based on the recommendations of other mongers, I decided to spend my first visit to BA at the Dazzler Hotel and had Mayra make the arrangements. The rate has recently been increased to $42 Am plus tax but it still appeared to be a good rate for my 2 week stay.
All I can say is that it has exceeded my expectations. The only minor complaint I have is that there is only one computer so it is hard to get on at times. However, there are 2 cyber cafes within the block where access is never a problem.
I have a nice clean room on the 11th floor overlooking the park. The bed is perfect, and the staff are great. They even forceably removed a beligerent chica at 4:00 a.m. (more about this in the 2004 reports section)
Their complementary buffet style breakfast is also tasty.
The Hotel Dazzler is good value.
I guys,
I just checked yesterday in Murano. Nice place, very friendly staff, I should really recomend the place!
Just to confirm. Having a guest at Apart Recoleta is not a problem. The doorman just holds onto her ID until she leaves. It´s not the fanciest place in the world, but for $41 if you pay cash or $45 by credit card you can´t beat the value considering the location.
