As a bonus I'll also show you my barrio Parilla downtown where you can get a churipan for 15 pesos.
There was another guy that posted about doing the "make a reservation for two thing." It's going to cost you a little more but might be worth it. I think Esten makes a good point about dialoging the night door guy. Couple that with walking in as if you own the joint with your chica and you should be golden. In most hotels the night desk guy has chicks he can call, so it's not like they are shocked by it. Show no fear though.

Thank you for the info. It is very helpful. I will of course be respectful and discrete. That's a great idea on reserving 2 guests in the room to create that argument...yes I'll be checking all the boliches out for sure. I was planning on walking to most of the ones in recoleta, but Tijuana said many are closed or changed locations, and I need to figure out how to get the addresses of all of them. Any thoughts? Also, can you recommend a good cambio near Ayres de Recoleta Plaza that will give the good exchange rate? Your help is very much appreciated!

Don't worry about the hotels too much. My sense is most (not all) freely allow bringing back chicas, or tolerate it. If you're coming back late, after 11 pm or midnight, there should be little lobby traffic, and unlikely to be families with little kids around. They prefer it to be a bit discrete, so just go to the desk (if required), politely have your guest sign in and show her ID, say "gracias" and go about your business. In other words, don't waltz in groping your chica and loudly talking about what you're going to do in your room!
You asked the question just fine. Don't bother following up asking if they allow hookers. Forget it. They will never put that in writing.
You can get more of a feel for how much they tolerate chicas by chatting up the night doorman. Make sure it's someone who will be working around the time you'll be bringing back chicas. Tell him, Hello sir, how are you, blah blah blah hey I might come back tonight with a chica, is there any problem with that? Don't say lady or hooker, just "chica". The doorman will understand. Guage his reaction how quickly / clearly he responds. If he quickly says oh noooo problem, you're good. You can also ask at the reception, to confirm any charges, but I might use "guest" instead of chica, especially if it's a woman.
The best reason not to worry is that you can usually cancel hotel reservations with 24 h notice. So in the unlikely event you pick a hotel that has no tolerance, or a guest fee, you can cancel and find a different hotel. Just have a backup or two in mind. I know the Dazzler Tower Recoleta (Las Heras 2163) is chica friendly, no charge, the rooms are all right. Also I believe the Howard Johnson Boutique Recoleta (Pena 2049), which has really nice, comfy rooms. Another tip is to select double or 2 occupancy when you reserve (assuming the rate doesn't change). That way you've got an argument for no guest fee, just in case.
As far as the boliches I suggest you check them all out at least once, and see what's up. The taxis are cheap between Centro and Recoleta. Be sure to bring down lots of US dollars, so you get a 9:1 exchange at the local cambios, versus the 6:1 exchange from the ATMs. Look up the Currency Exchange thread.

Thank you so much for the in-depth info. I emailed Mauro at Ayres de Recoleta Plaza, which I decided would be my hotel of choice (not Ayres de Recoleta Hotel) and I asked this exact question: "I am thinking of staying for 10 nights in your apart-hotel and I have a question regarding your guest policy. Are female guests allowed? Do female guests have to check in with the front desk / security when they arrive?
His response was: "Our rates are valid for one or two persons. In case you book a single room, you will be able to invite someone to stay at the room without aditional fee. But all the people at the hotel, have to check in at reception.
Do you think I asked the question in the correct way or not? Should I just straight up ask him if I can have hookers back to my room and not be charged a fee? If you would be willing to put in a call as you mentioned, I would really appreciate it. I'd owe ya a nice steak dinner... Because there's no damn way I'm paying $50 chica fees. Would def rent an apt if that's the case...BTW how do I view or see Jackson's Apt?
To reiterate what's currently open and worth going to: It's Hook, Catto's, Excedra Newport, Hippo? No more Black huh?

You will have the whole place to yourself since ALL of them are CLOSED! Some for years! Shampoo is a Kiddy Club with untouchable 18 year old girls. No Hookers.
Affaire? Who Cares!
Madahos. Closed down 5 times in 1 month and will NEVER reopen there again.
You should stay at Jax Butt Hutt!
Super Chica Friendly! If you can handle it then you can take 50 girls a day there and it won't cost you a thing! Best thing about it is that nobody will see what the cat dragged in!
Walking distance from Hook, Catto's, Excedra and a 5 minute cab ride from Newport, Hippo, and a few others but nothing worth going to. The others are to AVOID!
So that's what's open as of Last Night! I was at All of those places every night for the past 10 days! I'm exhausted!
There are others that seem to be too far away from you.
Have Fun!
TL.
Better make sure that the Ayres Hotel is Chica "Friendly!"
I can call them for you and ask if I remember or if you remind me .

And here's a tip for Wild Walleye. I've never felt comfortable letting the extra charge make it to the final bill, in case the "guest" description stays attached to the charge. At every place where I've had this issue, you can ask to pay for some "personal items" separately, such as these guest fees and a load of phone calls (if you've had to call around while there to arrange your fun). Then I circle the personal items on the preliminary bill, pay cash for those items, and so when the final bill is prepared, the items don't show up at all. This also has the added benefit, if you're uncomfortable about this issue, of not sticking the bill to your company for some of the expenses resulting from your personal escapades while on a "business" trip.

Posts: 1885It depends from hotel to hotel
Some have 'guest fees" like the Emperador while others do not. Check out the hotel threads.
Very few chicas expect to go to the the hotel without checking in at the desk. The policy is there for protection of the guests (including you) and the hotel. I also think that it serves to protect the women, too. I was leery of the process at first, not really wanting to create a written log of my trip (other than on AP). I nearly soiled myself several years ago when I received my bill at the Emperador and it had a line item "guest fee," considering that I needed to submit the bill for work. Thankfully, that was just the itemized bill and the final bill seemed to omit that item. Only once in my Bs As experiences did this pose a problem getting to the room. I had dinner with a friend and when we got to the desk, she didn't have I'd and the guy at the desk wouldn't cut me any slack. He was correct and we were out of compliance. No biggie, so we went to a telo.
*Writer's tangent: I chronicled the above-mentioned trip to the telo and am currently laughing at the memory. We ordered some drinks to be sent up and when the door bell rang, I opened it, expecting I guess a bell hop (not knowing that the supplies were passed through a little door (like a dumb waiter). By opening the door, I switched off all the power (including lights) in the room and we had to fumble around in the dark to find the phone and get power restored. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming*
If the staff at the desk isn't familiar with exactly who you are and whether or not you are staying there alone (when not entertaining a guest) , is going to be taking a very big risk by stopping you on the way to the elevator and asking you to register the woman on your arm. I usually stay at one of the same two places, both of which are chica-friendly, where most of the staff recognizes me. They can conclude that it is highly unlikely that the woman on my arm is my niece, unless I have a very large extended family. At one of the two places, if I don't stop at the desk, they don't ask. At the other, it is a little more awkward to get into the elevator without exchanging greetings with the desk staff and therefore, I usually just stop. The female staff at the latter get a good chuckle out me and my high jinx.
As Mia pointed out, how the lady dresses and conducts herself makes a difference. Lucianna and Jasmine and the other well-regarded women on the forum are well dressed and fit right in at any hotel. Lulo speaks better English than most of the staff at most hotels. Time of day may also play a roll. While the club chicas usually change into something less provocative prior to leaving the club, I seem to get more sideways glances when returning to the hotel with a friend around 3 or 4am (regardless of how she is dressed). That said, Argentine women, regardless of socio-economic status, generally take pride in their appearance and dressing stylishly and appropriate to the occasion. Rarely have I had a friend come visit me that was inappropriately dressed upon her arrival.
All of that said, if you can't live with the check-in process, rent an apartment.

I think it has a lot to do with how your lady friend is dressed. Obviously hot pants and thigh high boots would raise some eyebrows!
Now, if you are accompanying the lady up to your room there should be no problem- after all they don't know who she is what if its your girlfriend? A decent hotel would not want to risk a guest kicking up a fuss. I would just act like your in an intense conversation with her and head straight to the elevator so they can't stop you.
I have never heard of them charging, as long as the person doesn't stay the night. And I also can't see why they would have a problem with 2, even 5 girls going up- unless its blatently obvious that these girls are working.
My advice would be either- arrange to meet at a close by bar with the girl and then take her back with you, or give her your roomnumber so she can call up. The sheraton microcentro requires a keycard, so walking straight on by is not an option. I hope this has been at least somewhat helpful

Posts: 106First of all, they should all be in awe of your stamina and applaud as you walk by. Second, there's probably a shift change in there so no one person will know of your fecundity. Third, you can always ask the person on duty if it's a problem when you return the first one. You'll probably get a grin and a "no problemo".
