La Recoleta is one of the most prominent neighborhoods in Buenos Aires (BA), named for the friars who built the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in 1732, and the Recoleta Cemetery, where Eva Peron and numerous other distinguished Argentinians are interred. These are overlooked across the park from the balconies of the Ayres Recoleta Plaza. To the right from the corner are a number of cafes with outdoor patios facing the humungous 230-year-old ”Gomera de Recoleta” (Recoleta Rubber Tree” landmark and the terminus of the city Hop-On Hop-Off bus. To the left from the corner are snack bars, more cafes and restaurants, some night clubs, and a stylish shopping center, with art museums and cultural centers a few blocks away down wide boulevards. Strictly, the Ayres Recoleta Plaza is not a hotel in the usual sense; it's an apartment building that rents apartments for overnight and longer stays. The studio that I had rented for a couple of days was fully and stylishly equipped, with a complete kitchen, and there were a number of families there who were clearly short-term visitors. The front desk is open during regular office hours, and there is no food service, which was not really a concern, given the number of cafes and convenience stores around the corner, including the landmark La Biela restaurant -- quite pleasant for breakfast, and light other meals. Staff of the Ayres Recoleta Plaza were pleasant quite helpful -- they had arranged for a taxi to pick me up when I arrived early Easter morning at the cruise terminal and later arranged a taxi to bring me to the airport. I'd certainly return.
