Buenos Aires' Hidden Gem: Loft Argentino Apart Hotel - Unforgettable Stay!
Buenos Aires Bound? Stop Scrolling! You NEED to Hear About Loft Argentino Apart Hotel - Trust Me.
Okay, so you're heading to Buenos Aires? Fantastic choice! You're gonna fall head-over-heels for this city. But let's be real, finding the perfect hotel can feel like navigating a tango with a blindfold on. Well, ditch the blindfold, amigos, because I'm here to spill the tea – or, Buenos Aires’ finest Malbec, rather – about Loft Argentino Apart Hotel. And trust me, this place is a hidden gem. They really should call it the "Unforgettable Stay," because that's exactly what it is.
Let's get messy, shall we? Because that's how real life is.
First Impressions & Accessibility - More Than Just a Pretty Façade
Alright, the first thing that hit me? The vibe. It's not some sterile, corporate box. Loft Argentino actually feels like a place where you can relax. The entrance isn't some intimidating marble gauntlet; it feels… welcoming.
Accessibility is something I'm always checking. And I'm happy to report, they seem to get it. There's an elevator, which is a huge plus (especially after a day of wandering the city!), and I've read reports of facilities for disabled guests. Always double-check when booking, but the signs are good.
(Rambling Interlude: Thinking of my Grandad…) This reminded me SO much of my grandad, who was a real stickler for accessibility. He always said, "If a place isn't designed for everyone, it's not designed well at all!" And Loft Argentino seems to have taken that to heart. Kudos to them!
Rooms & Amenities That Actually Matter
Okay, room time. And let's get this straight: the rooms are amazing. They've got Air conditioning, because let's be real, Buenos Aires in summer can be scorching. You've got a refrigerator to keep your Quilmes nice and cold. A coffee/tea maker for that morning caffeine fix. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (Internet access – wireless, Internet access – LAN) – because, let's face it, we all need to post those Insta stories, right?
But it’s the little things that made it special. Like, a laptop workspace, which was a lifesaver when I was trying to get some work done. Blackout curtains – finally, a hotel that understands the value of a damn good sleep! And let's not forget the slippers! Such a simple thing, but it just made the whole experience feel… luxurious. They also have smoking rooms so there is something to suit everyone. They also include non-smoking rooms.
But seriously, the cleaning? Cleanliness and safety - it's a big deal now! They’ve got Anti-viral cleaning products, the staff wears face masks (yep, Staff trained in safety protocol), Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, and Hand sanitizer everywhere. I mean, this is what they are paying attention to nowadays. They also have Sterilizing equipment. Knowing that the place is taking extra precautions to keep you safe gives you real piece of mind. No worries about this, or that.
Food, Glorious Food! (And Drink, Of Course)
Now, let's talk fuel. Because you're going to need serious energy to explore this city. They have Breakfast [buffet], which is already a score. The Breakfast service is also a plus. You can have Breakfast in room, because, who doesn’t love breakfast in bed?
But, the real win?! The restaurants! Buenos Aires is a food paradise, but sometimes you just want to stay put. Loft Argentino has you covered. You can enjoy Asian cuisine in restaurant, because, why not? They also do International cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant and even a Vegetarian restaurant. You can also order from the A la carte in restaurant, and get Desserts in restaurant.
And the pièce de résistance? The Poolside bar. Picture this: sun setting, the city lights twinkling, a perfectly made cocktail in your hand… pure bliss. They also have a Bar with Coffee/tea in restaurant.
(Anecdotal Bomb Dropped!) One night, I swear I had the best steak of my life at the restaurants. Honestly, I almost cried. It was cooked to absolute perfection, and the red wine… oh, the red wine. Absolutely divine. And the Soup in restaurant was a perfect start, the Salad in restaurant and Snack bar were great too.
Relaxation & Rejuvenation - Because City Life Can Be Exhausting
Okay, so you've been tangoing, eating your weight in empanadas, and soaking up the culture. Time to unwind. Loft Argentino understands this. They have a Fitness center for those who want to stay active. And, wait for it… a Swimming pool. Pool with view. The Spa/sauna is a dream. They even have a Steamroom. And the Massage! I was basically a puddle afterward. You can get a Body scrub and a Body wrap.
(Quirky Observation:) The swimming pool is especially magical at night. With the city lights reflecting in the water? Forget it. Pure Instagram gold. Okay, maybe I’m just a sucker for a pretty view!
Services & Conveniences - Making Life Easier
Loft Argentino has really thought of everything. They have Daily housekeeping, so you can focus on enjoying your trip. The Concierge is always helpful. They have Currency exchange. And if you need to get anywhere, they'll help sort out an Airport transfer which is great. They also have Laundry service so you don’t need to pack everything. Plus, don't forget the Car park [free of charge], which is super handy!
Getting Down to Business (For Those Who Need It)
If you're like me, you might have to sneak in a little work. They have Business facilities. There is a Meeting/banquet facilities. You can even hold Meetings. They have Wi-Fi for special events, Audio-visual equipment for special events. They also have a Projector/LED display – useful if you’re organizing a presentation.
(Slightly Messy Sentence Alert:) Loft Argentino is one of those hotels that just… works. They’ve got the right mix of luxury and practicality.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is… me in Buenos Aires, trying not to accidentally eat a whole cow and maybe, just maybe, figuring out the tango. And all based from the supposed haven of the Loft Argentino Apart Hotel. Let’s see how this goes.
Buenos Aires: Week of Existential Empanadas and Questionable Tango Moves (A Travel Itinerary, LOL)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Empanada Inquisition (and the Hotel's Quirky Charm)
- Morning (Like, late morning): Okay, flight lands. Seriously, I swear the plane was designed to make you feel like you’re in a tin can of screaming toddlers for 14 hours. Dragging myself from the airport is an Olympic sport in itself. Find the shuttle situation… more like a suggestion of a shuttle. Finally, I’m in a taxi, convinced I’m about to be kidnapped (classic first-time traveler paranoia).
- Afternoon: Arrive at Loft Argentino Apart Hotel. Which, let's be honest, looks more like a slightly tired, but undeniably charming, flat in an old building than a hotel. The lobby? Cozy clutter. The lady at the desk? Rock solid. She gives me a key, a look that says "You'll be fine," and a map that's about as confusing as my love life. The apartment itself? Surprisingly spacious! And, oh god, the balcony. Potential for people-watching gold. But first…
- Afternoon (Continued): MY STOMACH. It's a beast. Empanada mission: initiated. Wander (rather aimlessly) through the San Telmo neighborhood. Okay, the cobblestone is cute, but I almost ate it. Find a place recommended online. Order. Eat. Repeat. Oh. My. God. These little pockets of deliciousness are an experience. Chicken, beef, ham and cheese… I'm pretty sure I just had a religious experience involving pastry. My only regret? Not ordering enough.
- Evening: Back at the "loft" (I'm using the term loosely) and exhausted. Attempt to unpack (fail miserably). Stuck with my bags, my bed, and a strange but good feeling of content. Debate ordering room service vs. actually venturing out. Room service wins. Pizza is my new Argentinian soulmate.
Day 2: Graffiti, Grief, and Attempted Spanish (The Struggle is Real)
- Morning: Awaken, surrounded by the faint smell of old buildings and strong coffee. Coffee is the real hero in Buenos Aires. Decide I'm "cultured" enough to explore the La Boca neighborhood. Oh. My. God. The colors! The energy! The tourists! Get accosted by some dude trying to sell me something… I think it was a tango lesson? Politely, or at least I tried, but my Spanish is, let's be honest, embarrassing. I’m pretty sure I just asked a little girl if she had a giant nose instead of directions.
- Afternoon: Okay, needed a break from the sensory overload. So I headed to Recoleta. The Recoleta Cemetery… I'm not normally one for cemeteries, but this place… It's like a city of mausoleums. So many sculptures, so much history… and the underlying feeling of loss just hits you. It's… heavy. Needed a gelato immediately after. (Strawberry, obvs.)
- Evening: Back at the "loft" (still laughing at the name). Tried to practice some basic Spanish phrases. Ended up ordering a steak (I think?) at a random restaurant around the corner. The waiter looked amused, probably at my accent. The steak was phenomenal. Seriously, Argentinian beef? They’re doing something VERY right.
Day 3: Tango Debacle & Emotional Collapse (and the Hotel's Quirky Charm)
- Morning: So, I'm going to tango. Or, at least, I'm attempting to. Found a "class" in San Telmo. OMG the music! The passion! The… awkwardness. I’m pretty sure my partner (bless his patient soul) was more concerned with keeping me from tripping than actually, you know, dancing. My coordination? Nonexistent. The Tango? It's like a beautiful, graceful beast. And I’m a flailing, clumsy toddler trying to ride it.
- Afternoon: Feeling a bit dejected. Decided to wallow in a cafe, drink coffee, and people-watch. Ordered a medialuna (croissant). It's… perfect. This city is a masterclass in carbs. Started to read the book I brought. And then… I started to cry. (Sometimes you just… cry. Travel, I've learned, is very good at bringing up things you didn't know you were carrying.)
- Evening: Back at the "loft". Needed to recharge. Ordered more room service and watched some trashy TV. It was exactly what I needed.
Day 4: Palermo Soho & Lost in the Labyrinth (and the Hotel's Quirky Charm)
- Morning: Wandered around Palermo Soho. Much more my speed! Cool shops, colorful streets, street art… finally, a place where I didn't feel quite lost. Found a cute little bookstore. Bought a book. Almost went bankrupt on vintage sunglasses.
- Afternoon: Got hopelessly lost. Which, honestly, is half the fun. Ended up in a park, just sitting on a bench and watching the world go by. Sometimes you just need to do absolutely nothing. (Feeling better, btw, after the cry-fest of the day before.)
- Evening: Had dinner at a little restaurant in Palermo (not sure the name… I got lost AGAIN). The food was delicious! (I'm pretty sure I'm fueled entirely by empanadas and beef at this point.) Walked back to the "loft" under the stars. Buenos Aires at night? Magical.
Day 5: Gaucho Daydreaming (The Pampass Are Calling)
- Morning: Took an organized day trip out to a "gaucho" ranch. Okay, this was a tourist trap, but a charming tourist trap! Horses, open skies, the smell of grilled meat… the vibe was pretty great.
- Afternoon: Horseback riding (badly). Attempted to learn some gaucho skills (failed miserably). Ate an obscene amount of asado (BBQ). Felt like I stepped into a postcard.
- Evening: Exhausted from the day, back at the “loft” and watching the sun set over the rooftop. It was an awesome journey, even if I failed the horseback riding.
Day 6: Retiro & The Quest for the Perfect Dulce de Leche (And more Tango!)
- Morning: Explored Retiro. The architecture is insane. Walked through the gardens. Absolutely gorgeous. Started a quest- The quest of finding the perfect Argentinian Dulce de Leche (sweet milk).
- Afternoon: Back to my tango class!!! (I can't escape the world of dancing). The dance is so hard but I can't stop.
- Evening: More Empanadas!
Day 7: Departure & Heartbreak (and the Hotel's Quirky Charm)
- Morning: Packing up my bags. Goodbye, "loft". Goodbye, Buenos Aires. Okay, I know it sounds cheesy, but I’m kind of sad to leave. This city… it gets under your skin.
- Afternoon: Airport. Flight. Sigh. Already planning my return.
- Evening: Back home. Eating leftover snacks from the plane. Buenos Aires, I'll be back… and next time, I will learn the tango. (Maybe.)
Final Thoughts:
- The Loft Argentino Apart Hotel: Yeah, it's not the Ritz. It's… homey. Quirky, charming. It feels like a real apartment. The staff is nice. The balcony? Gold. And the location? Perfect. In a way, it made my trip.
- Buenos Aires: The city is a mess, in the best way possible. It's chaotic, beautiful, passionate, and exhausting. It's the kind of place that stays with you.
- Me: I'm still a work in progress. I definitely embarrassed myself, ate way too much, and had a mini-existential crisis. But I also had an amazing time. And isn’t that what travel is all about? Now, where's the nearest empanada…?
Loft Argentino: Buenos Aires’ Best-Kept (Maybe Secret's Out Now?) Secret - FAQ Edition!
Okay, spill! What *actually* makes Loft Argentino so special? TripAdvisor reviews are ALL hype, right?
Alright, alright, let me tell you. The hype? Mostly justified. Look, I've seen some hotels in my day, places that made you want to run screaming back to your hostel (and trust me, I *love* a good hostel). But Loft Argentino... it gets under your skin in a good way. First off, it's not a soulless, cookie-cutter hotel chain. It's got personality. Think exposed brick, seriously cool, and probably original, art... not the generic prints hotels usually slap up. It's got that "lived in" vibe, which is exactly what I want when I'm traveling. It actually feels like you’re in a home, not just a room.
And the location? AMAZING. Walking distance (and I mean *walking*, like, actually strollable and fun) to so many cool neighborhoods: San Telmo, Recoleta... you're set. I loved stumbling out of the hotel at like, noon (because jet lag, duh) and just… *being there*. No taxis needed. Pure joy, usually fueled by a *cortado* from that cute little cafe just down the street.
What's the deal with the "loft" part? Are you ACTUALLY staying in a *loft*?
Well, "loft" isn't just a buzzword. They actually *are* loft apartments. Some have these gorgeous high ceilings, exposed beams... the whole shebang. My first thought? "Can I *live* here?" (The answer, by the way, was a resounding "Yes, if I could afford it… which I definitely can't. Sigh.") The space itself is incredible. You're not crammed into a tiny box. You've got breathing room. You can actually do a yoga session in your room without knocking over furniture. Trust me, that matters after a long flight and a serious case of empanada-induced bloat.
Breakfast. Tell me everything. Because, let's be honest, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially when traveling.
Okay, breakfast. Listen, if you’re expecting a massive buffet, skip it. This isn't that kind of place. But! What they DO have is delicious. They bring it to your room – which, let's be honest, is the *pinnacle* of luxury when you're still wrestling with those early-morning travel demons. Think fresh bread, croissants that are flaky and buttery enough to make you weep (in a good way!), juice, coffee... the works. I'm a sucker for their *dulce de leche* (duh, it's Argentina!), and I may or may not have snuck extra portions back to my room. (Don't judge me!)
The only downside? Sometimes, the delivery time is a *teensy* bit... Argentinian. You know, "mañana" and all that. So, plan accordingly. (Or, you know, just order more coffee.)
The staff? Are they actually friendly, or are they just going through the motions?
This is where Loft Argentino truly shines. The staff are amazing. Genuinely, wonderfully amazing. Helpful, kind, patient with my terrible Spanish... They remember your name, they offer recommendations without being pushy, and they’re just… *nice*. I remember one time, I was completely lost trying to find a *parrilla* that had been recommended to me (again, jet lag. It’s real!). I called the front desk, completely flustered, and the guy on the phone not only gave me perfect directions, he *walked* me through it, step-by-step. That kind of service, you don’t forget.
And the *best* part? They’re not trying to sell you anything – they just genuinely want you to have a good time. That feeling of genuinely wanting you to have a good time is something money can't buy. Seriously, five stars for the staff alone.
Okay, so what's the catch? There *has* to be a catch.
Alright, alright, here's the brutally honest truth. It’s not completely perfect. It's more like... it's got character. (Which, honestly, I prefer.) The elevator? Could be a little slow… sometimes. And maybe the soundproofing isn't *perfect* (especially if you have neighbors who enjoy a late-night tango session). But honestly? I'd happily put up with those minor imperfections for the overall experience.
And sometimes, and I mean *sometimes*, booking can be tricky. It's a popular place and those rooms are getting harder to nab. So, plan ahead! Don’t drag your feet or you're going to be begging on your knees for a room.
Is it good for... *ahem*... romance?
Oh, *hell* yes. The exposed brick, the high ceilings, the cozy atmosphere… it’s practically begging you to get romantic. Think perfect lighting, a bottle of wine (easily procured from the corner *almacen*), and… well, you get the idea. I wasn’t there with a partner, but I *did* spend a lot of time imagining how wonderful a romantic getaway there would be. (Insert wistful sigh here.) I'd say it's perfect for couples. Or solo travelers looking to... well, you know... romance *themselves*. No judgment here!
Seriously, what's the WORST thing? Be brutally honest!
Okay, okay, brace yourselves. Here’s the real lowdown. One tiny thing… the shower pressure in my room. It was a *little* weak. Like, you could practically stand under it for fifteen minutes and still feel dry. That got old after a while, the shower was a bit of a trickle-fest, and I was too lazy to ask to be moved. But honestly, it was such a minor thing that I barely even remember it now. So there. That's seriously the worst thing I could come up with. Everything else was great.
Oh, and one more thing. Leaving. Leaving Loft Argentino was HARD. Really, *really* hard. I actually felt a pang of sadness when I checked out. I considered faking food poisoning just to stay another night. (Don’t do that, by the way. Bad form.) But yeah, leaving was the worst. Because it meant I was leaving that little slice of Buenos Aires heaven behind. And that's a problem, I've been wanting to go back ever since...
