Buenos Aires / 3 nights

(Aug 21 - 24) 

Hello NIck, 

I have updated the plan to include all the details you will need for your trip.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  

This is a living document so we can add, remove, and edit it as much as possible.  Please take a look and let me know what you think. 

First, I would like to list what I would like to include for you in this estimate: 

 

  • 3 nights (2 rooms) in one of the top hotels in Argentina. 

  • Airport Transportation

    • Round trip shuttle. 

    • Note: Taxis service can be hit or miss in Buenos Aires, and Uber is technically illegal and although ok to use within the city, it is a bit inconvenient to take from the airport. 

  • Breakfast

  • 2 Activities 

    • History/Culture Walking Tour - Guided walk of Telmo, The beautiful old town area of Buenos Aires

      • I recommend this in  could be on Thursday or Friday late morning.  ​

    • A Night Life Experience - Exploring trendy Palermo, local bars and craft beer breweries, some street food with a local Argentinian  guy.

      • This could be good for Thursday evening.  Leaving Friday evening free for dinner, speakeasy bar, and then gay club. ​ 

      • Another option would be tickets for a tango/dinner show.

    • I can recommend and plan other activities, if you have something particular in mind.  For instance:

      • Guided tours of other main areas of the city like Recoletta (Cemetery)

      • Bike tour of the Natural reserve within the city

      • Cooking class

      • Tango Night (Queer or not)

      • Navigate in El Tigre (Delta of Parana River) - This is pretty amazing, but long. It would tale almost a whole day. Not highly recommended but available. 

  • Full concierge services  before and throughout the trip (reservations, suggestions, etc)

    • Additional Activities - Help with additional activities you might be interested in while in Buenos Aires

    • Nights out/shows - Plan nights out, provide suggestions for bars and local night life, and more as requested

    • Lunch/Dinners -  Suggestions and reservations to some of the best restaurants in town, as desired. 

    • Transportation - I would help organize as needed.  Once in Buenos Aires, local mass transportation  systems and services like Uber and local taxis are easy to use as well.

Please have in mind, these estimates are totals (not individual cost), and can be updated based on your choices.

Other options presented:

Accommodations

  • My suggestion is the trendy and highly rated Faena. This hotel is a staple in the city, unique, and with great service.  It is a total urban oasis. Ir has great bars, restaurants, spa, pool (although it is winter) and even a small tango show. 

    • Note: I can happily recommend other 5 start hotels that might be a bit more economic, but I just think you would love this one. It would be a total experience.  ​

  • It is located in the modern part of the city, Puerto Madero. Very safe and central area. You can get quickly to most of the other main areas of the city by car. 

  • My estimate includes the price of two rooms, which are the best priced at the moment. Note: We can go higher if desired, inquire if interested 

    • Skyline View: Bask in a resplendent sunset over the city’s stretching horizon from a cozy window seat tucked between plush red-velvet drapes in a spacious Skyline View Room. Pure white leather lounge chairs and antique-inspired furnishings epitomize classic Porteño elegance with engraved filigree mirrors, delicate hand embroidered artisanal throws and lapacho hard wood floors

    • Premier Skyline View: The hotel’s most coveted rooms feature breathtaking views of Buenos Aires’ captivating skyline and the historic San Telmo district. A respite of minimalist elegance outfitted in custom-designed pure white leather furnishings, cabaret-red velvet drapes and 19th century-inspired clawfoot bathtubs, Premier Skyline View Rooms seduce visitors with the enchanting spirit of Buenos Aires
