Hotel description
A boutique hotel in the old city centre, the Raco de Buenos Aires combines eclectic style with country charm. The building dates back to 1870 and still has many original features like a majestic carved oak front door, and the interior is completed by period furniture. The hotel is surrounded by important sights such as the ‘Basílica de San Carlos Borromeo’ and the ‘Colegios Salesianos’.
Rooms at the Raco de Buenos Aires are light and airy, with an unmistakeable country charm even though they are located firmly in the city. Crisp bed linens and treetop views from the windows are juxtapositioned with period furniture from all eras, brightly coloured headboards, antique lamps and even animal print covers. Other hotel amenities include a garden and a terrace, as well as other services such as massage, babysitting, and clothes washing and ironing (all on request).
Location
The neighbourhood where the Raco de Buenos Aires is situated, ‘El Barrio de Almagro’ (the Almagro neighbourhood), is said to be the birthplace of tango, and the place to which most Italian and Spanish immigrants arrived at the start of the 20th century. The hotel is very well connected to the public transport that lets you explore the rest of the city.

"Tudo foi PERFEITO! Desde o momento em que cheguei até quando fui embora. A qualidade do atendimento/serviço - totalmente personalizado, excelente, o quarto maravilhoso, confortável, aconchegante. Recomendaria a qualquer pessoa a se hospedar no Racó de Buenos Aires. Uma experiência incrível!"
Heber V. - Brazil - 15-Jun-09 -
"This brand new boutique hotel I can certainly recommend. The rooms all decorated with individual style and the owners are lovely and helpfull. Nothing is too much for them. The location is in a friendly neighbourhood and very close to Castro Barras metro station and Bar Las Violetas. I liked the fact you were not in the typical tourist neighbourhood but there were true Buenos Aires life was being lived."
Anouk M. - United Kingdom - 08-Jun-09 -
"Great Hotel, brand new and each room is decorated in a different way with a good taste. You can feel they really wanted to make the place special... The service was great too and the hosts are really there to make your life easier. It is 5 minutes from the metro stop and 10 minutes from basically everywhere in a taxi (around 10-15 pesos)"

"The service was very personalized. Being a guest felt like being part of the family."

"Adorei o hotel. É simples, mas muito aconchegante. A localização é boa (não é tão perto do centro, mas ainda assim é perto). O atendimento é muito bom, os quartos são novos, limpos e bem decorados. Recomendo a todos e voltarei a me hospedar lá caso volte a Buenos Aires."
Martins C. - Brazil - 07-May-09 -
"Hótel bien situe. Accueil tres chaleureux. Sejour parfait."

"We had a very nice stay at the hotel Racò de Buenos Aires. The hotel is run by a warm young family and just has been refurbished with a tasteful decoration. The structure of the hotel is amazing as it's a typical Buenos Aires 20th century building. The location is ok and safe although it is not in one of the typical "barrio" of BA. There are the tube and buses stops 5 minutes walking from the hotel and taxis are also very cheap in BA. In addition, being in a non-typical touristic area of BA makes you understand the real life of the BA people. I strongly recommend people tp stay at the Racò de Buenos Aires as it has an excellent quality/price ratio."
Chardier B. - Switzerland - 30-Mar-09 -
"Splendid accomodation, this charming venue offers a warm, authentic and relaxing place to kick back and enjoy the City. Great value. Public transport and shopping facilities close so ++"

"Nouvel hotel de Buenos Aires - EXCELLENTE surprise !!! Chambres superbes (2 chambres bookees sur Splendia pour 2 couples, chaque chambre ayant sa decoration propre...), place strategiquement entre le 'centre touristique' (Microcentro, Recolate, San Telmo - a 30 cuartos ou blocks) et Palermo/Las Canitas pour sortir/diner. Le quartier en lui-meme n'a que peu d'interet, mais les taxis sont peu chers a BA et vous en heler un dans la rue a n'importe quelle heure du jour ou de la nuit. Staff tres accueillant, hyper disponible. A recommender absolument (nous avons aussi passe une nuit dans un hotel de Recoleta - moderne, sans saveur, service decevant, chambres bruyantes/puant la cigarette. Au final, Roca l'a emporte haut la main!!!)."
Mora N. - United Kingdom - 25-Mar-09 -
"Gostei muito do hotel e da hospitalidade. Foi um prolongamento de minha casa. Pessoal extremamente atencioso e profissional. Sempre prontos a ajudar e auxiliar em qualquer situação. Local tranquilo, próximo a meios públicos de transporte, ótimo desjejum, quarto confortável, pessoal amável e atencioso. Indico e indicarei o hotel a todos as pessoas que pedirem uma sugestão de hotel em buenos Aires."
Kalil M. - Brazil - 17-Mar-09 -
"Racó de Buenos Aires is a charming boutique hotel in Buenos Aires. They were very welcoming and helpful. Our room was excellent, well sized, and finished to a high standard. Would recommend considering this hotel on a trip to BA."
Paul M. - United Kingdom - 13-Mar-09 -
"Pas d'enseigne sur rue et pourtant, il faut absolument rentrer dans cet hôtel de charme qui vient d'être restauré. Une ambiance intimiste, une déco raffinée et originale, des volumes superbes. Situé à 2 pas du métro, vous êtes très facilement dans le centre de Buenos Aires. Les hôtes sont très chaleureux et très accueillants. Ne manquez pas cette adresse !"
Rosalie B. - France - 11-Mar-09 -
"Atendimento cortês e familiar. O quarto é bastante espaçoso, localização tranquila e de fácil acesso ao Metrô, supermercado e restaurantes. Neste hotel ficamos mais próximos da vida cotidiana do Argentino, saindo da rotina de turista. Ótima experiência! Poderiam melhorar a troca das toalhas e roupa de cama durante a estadia (não ocorrem trocas), instalar máquina de refrigerantes, água, chips (não tem frigobar no quarto), reforçar café da manhã (são servidas 6 torradas) e, principalmente, aceitar cartão de crédito."
Tércia Regina C. - Brazil - 03-Mar-09 -
"Tres bel hotel avec patio et galerie d exposition d artistes reconnus en argentine, bien situe a cote de metro, accueil vraiment tres chaleureux de la part de vanesa, julian et alicia, hotel a ne pas manquer"
MARIE L. - France - 02-Mar-09 -
"Raco de Buenos Aires is a great base to start explore buenos aires. The hotel is positioned somewhat outside the city centre, which I found ideal since it offers you to see and experience the daily life of the ¨porteños¨ nowadays, but also catch a metro and be in right in the centre in notime. Now the hotel is new, I loved the design of the room and the fact that the hotel got the basics right (good beds, good curtains and noise isolation. Moreover, owner Julian and his family do a splendid job making sure that you have a pleasant time in Buenos Aires. I will go back to this hotel when returning to Buenos Aires later my trip."
