Hub Porteno is an all-suite hotel at Rodriguez Pena 1967 in Recoleta, close to the El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookshop. The booking page calls it a luxury upscale hotel with individually furnished suites, a library and a terrace, and guests rate it 9.6 out of 10 from 165 reviews. A free breakfast buffet is included, served in the morning, which sets it apart from many luxury hotels in Buenos Aires where breakfast is an extra charge. Everything is a suite. The booking page shows five categories: a Suite of 592 square feet with a queen or two queen beds, the Bacan suite of 807 square feet with a garden view, a Grand Suite of 1,184 square feet, and Triple and Quadruple suites for three or four guests, which makes it one of the few options in the neighbourhood for small families or groups sharing. The on-site restaurant, La Pecora Nera Grill, is a steakhouse, so you can sample the local speciality without leaving the building.
Facilities
A 24-hour gym, a bar and lounge, a terrace and library, and a full-service spa with two treatment rooms offering massages, facials, body wraps and aromatherapy, plus a hot tub and sauna. Reservations are needed for spa treatments. There is no pool, which is common in Recoleta townhouse hotels. Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, laundry and dry cleaning, a front-desk safe and limo service complete the list, and there is no on-site parking.
Location
Patio Bullrich is a minute on foot, and Plaza Francia and Recoleta Cemetery are about seven minutes away. The Exhibition Center of the City of Buenos Aires is about nine minutes and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes is within a ten-minute walk. The page also cites nearby restaurants within a few minutes, including Fervor and Club Frances, and the Facultad de Derecho subway station is about eleven minutes away. Ministro Pistarini airport is roughly 41 minutes by car.
Who it suits
Couples, families and long-stay travellers who like space and a residential feel, plus anyone who wants a quiet, leafy base for museums and the cemetery. Tips: the larger suites suit stays of a week or more, ask about the garden-view category and use the included breakfast to save on mornings. Compare with Palacio Duhau and the Recoleta Grand, which are larger and more formal. The included breakfast and the larger rooms make the hotel good value for stays of several nights, especially for families who would otherwise need two rooms.
