I stayed at the Bel Air Hotel in Buenos Aires. Any association with the Bel Air Hotel in Los Angeles you may forget right now. At first we were thrilled with having a clean, newly refurbished hotel in the Recoleta area that was affordable. Then we found out that three people had called and left messages with the front desk for us, and they never told us. Little by little we found that they try to cut costs anyway they can. The food at breakfast was the cheapest quality. Part of our family comes from that area so we know this for a fact. We ordered a private car to take us to a friends house and the just called a taxi and made excuses that they are all the same (THEY ARE NOT). Compared to some of the dives that you find in B.A. this is a welcome improvement, but the service and management is not up to the refurbishment.
