Jackson- the name of the hotel is the Art Hotel. I have the brochure in my hand.
Anyone other than the original poster who never answered my initial question stayed there? When I went there for an inspection in 3/07- I thought it was not chica friendly- but I never asked- my fault. Very nice trendy boutique hotel.
I just bailed out of another Conde Nast recommendation in BA because they do not allow "take home ". I did ask them. This property was the Cocker in San Telmo.
Conde Nast rated- certainly much to lose if it was an inside job.
Best Regards.

The lack of moral responsibility of a company where you are paying for a service is enough for me not to spend any more of my money there and to warn any one I know of this lack of caring especially where there are hundreds of others offering the same services and hopefully with more responsibility.
I doubt if the hotel management had anything to do with the robbery as they were also robbed. The front desk employee? It seems difficult that he could have coordinated the robbery to the exact moment my friends were checking in but who knows?

I did not say anything about compensation. A business has a certain responsibility to people in their establishment. If there is no security of course someone can walk in and rob you and the business. They can rob you in your sleep and say that's the way it goes. My responce was to punters exaggeration of comparing it to being robbed on the street and holding the police responsible. That is not the same thing. I visited the Art Hotel and thought about staying there but a place that may not have adequate security and does not offer help to customers who were robbed is a place that will probably be robbed again.

Other Art Hotel
Been away for a while.
The other "Art" hotel is the Art Suites, same street just a little further away from Mads etc.
I stayed there a few times. Very much an apartment - 2 flats per floor. Good security. Family owned, two sisters - if you are discrete it is ok. Not really great if you are planning to have 4 visits a day. Lots of room. Some of the apartments have 2 bedrooms. The maid will bring breakfast up for you.
You can see the arrivals from your TV as there is a channel connected to the CCTV security camera.
Since families stay there you need to be discrete.
On my last few visits prices have gone up so Mayra recommended Ayres de Recoletta. The latter is in a more convenient location.
