Accommodation
Pablo Alonso
Created by world-famous artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, this hotel (and residence) defies description. The building clings to a cliff overlooking the ocean and the Rio de la Plata.
Accommodation
Plaza Fuerte Hotel
Samantha chose this hotel over the larger chain hotel in the city center, because of its location in the heart of Old Town.
