The cE Design Hotel (which is NOT the "Design Hotel" located right next door) is the ultimate loft-living experience. The hotel is situated b/w Palermo and Recoleta, making it extremely accessible to great restuarants, bars, shops, etc. The hotel itself is comprised of a series of loft-like rooms (our room had its own floor - I believe all of the... more

The Design hotel was pure bliss in the middle of Buenos Aires. Stayed in an amazing loft like room that was totally cool, chic and relaxing. Comfortable - lux bed and linens, great design features without comprimising functionality. Like staying in a loft apartment with the benefits of a full service hotel. Location is perfect for all the various neighborhoods... more

Minimalism is a matter of taste/trend. . OK. But come on....The room felt naked. Including isolations. Can you imagine yourself waking up at 6:30 am with next door's conversation.???The section I stayed has only two rooms on that floor. My room was facing a wall and it was sooooo clostrafobic. The whole hotel has this same feeling...1 step front desk,... more

We spent 4 nights at this hotel. I booked a Plaza Suite Room and it was exactly like it looks in the photo - very large, spacious, clean, overlooking a park plaza, light, airy. I shared the room with my 2 young adult children and there was plenty of space for all of us and privacy, as well. The room... more

Just returned from a week-long stay in BA. If you are planning a trip, you are going to the right place. Fun, pleasant people and don't get scared off by stories of thieving cabbies etc. We had not a single incident during our entire stay. Except Tangol Soccer Tour was a bit of a rip-off. They put us in some... more

We stayed at the Design Hotel with another couple (each of us early sixties). The staff, location, and price cannot be beat! The staff are all young and speak and understand English very well. They are also knowledgeable about the area and can recommend restaurants, etc. Glass doors have been put on the shower area of the tubs so that... more

CE Design Hotel is a good deal. I got a clean room, with no shower problems as described in other posts. Yes, we also met Andres in the bar, nice enough guy. Agree with the confusion between the street name Alvear and MT Alvear, and two hotels with nearly the same name, it was a bit of an annoyance. Had... more

Let me just start by saying this hotel was a definite change for the good from the normal hotels I've stayed at. As soon as you walk in you can tell the hotel is more art deco than your Marriott. The hotel made me feel more like a friend and and the service was very personable. Everyone from Andres in... more

I spent 3 nights in late Jan/early Feb 2008 and found a lot to recommened the CE Design Hotel. My room was in the rear of the hotel and thus I missed out on the view of the Plaza but appreciated the quiet room. The room was clean and the bathroom well stocked. The complaints listed about the odd shower... more
