Hotel Pulitzer stands at Maipu 907 in the central district, a Beaux Arts-style building with 104 rooms over 13 floors that dates to 2011. It is the kind of hotel that works as a base for first-time visitors, because Florida street is a one-minute walk, Plaza San Martin two minutes and the Galerias Pacifico mall three. The Teatro Colon is about nine minutes on foot, the Obelisco thirteen, and San Martin subway station four. The booking page rates guests at 8.8 out of 10 from more than a thousand reviews. Rooms are straightforward and comfortable: Standard rooms with twin or queen beds, Superior doubles and singles of roughly 355 square feet and a Suite with a king bed. The page notes that the building has no elevator, which is worth checking if stairs are a problem. There is a rooftop terrace and library, a seasonal outdoor pool with umbrellas that is open from December to March, and a coffee shop and bar, plus a coworking space and meeting rooms.
Dining
Boca de Toro serves Argentine cuisine at lunch and dinner, and there is a club bar and a sky bar. The page says there is no spa, though massages can be arranged with advance reservation. Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating are standard, and the 24-hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage and porter service make arrivals and departures easy. Self parking is available for a daily fee with limited spaces and height limits, and an airport shuttle is available on request for a fee.
Location
The hotel sits in the commercial centre, so the streets around it are lively by day and quieter at night. San Telmo and Recoleta are a short taxi ride away, and the subway gives access to the whole city. Ministro Pistarini airport is about 26 minutes by car.
Who it suits
Independent travellers, couples and groups who want a central address, a rooftop and a pool in summer without paying luxury rates. Tips: ask for a higher room for quieter nights, use the rooftop for drinks at sunset, and compare with CasaCalma, which is more intimate, and with NH Buenos Aires City, a larger chain hotel.
Book early for the summer pool season, and check the cancellation terms on the booking page. The rooftop is the hotel's best asset: in summer it is a pleasant place for a late-afternoon drink after a day on Florida street and Plaza San Martin.
