Buenos Aires, Argentina

Best place to have a leather jacket made without spending a fortune. Shhh… She made them for Keith Richards and Mick Jagger...

to & from

Fly direct into Buenos Aires International Airport, about an hour from downtown BA. Hire a car in advance to take you to your hotel. Houston and Dallas are ideal places to embark from for Midwest/West Coast travelers because customs is a much easier process vs. Miami or Atlanta. Cabs are easy and inexpensive for all travel within Buenos Aires.

Where to Stay

Park Hyatt Buenos Aires: Located in the Recoleta neighborhood. Great location and service, awesome breakfast buffet; comprised of two buildings, an old mansion and a newer tower, connected by a tunnel and a beautiful garden.
Home: Located in the Palermo neighborhood also came highly recommended although we did not have a chance to check it out for ourselves.
