This boutique hotel in the heart of the Argentine capital has taken the concept of an in-house spa to a whole new level, equipping each of the 18 rooms with its own private spa. The city's first "wellness hotel," it provides a much-needed urban refuge for weary travelers.

Ambience: The vibe is eco-chic. Furnishings include lounge chairs crafted from recycled fabrics and garbage cans made from recycled plastic. The wood floors are made of pine that has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. Outside, the city's first vertical garden ascends from the lobby to the ninth floor, with green ivy visible from room windows.
