I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and sometimes fortunate enough to stay at the finest hotels a city could offer, but no hotel compares to L’ Hotel Palermo. The staff, warm and always professional, went to great lengths insuring my stay was a first-rate experience and beyond. I was given a much needed electrical adaptor, a replacement Covid mask, a better reading lamp for my failing eyes, directions around town where the best pottery store could be found and the best bakery, the closest Covid testing center, and when I requested a pencil, Martin ordered one on Amazon. How about that? Now for the hotel itself… The swimming pool area is heavenly! One could bask in the sun, surrounded by the smell of grass with butterflies gliding above by the walls of ivy. Comfy chairs, stacks of towels, cool drinking water is available and the pool, though not Olympic size was perfect for my needs. Now for the complimentary breakfast … The usual complimentary breakfast is mediocre at best, so had no expectations what-so-ever- but the variety and quality of the L’ Hotel Palermo breakfast is something special. I appreciated every morning and every bite. Delicious croissants, a variety of cereal, cheese, lunchmeat, fresh fruit, a choice of juices, coffee, tea and more, was readily available starting at 7am. A real treat. The rooms were spotless, the bed was lush and comfortable and the powerful water pressure of the shower was a joy for this longtime New Yorker. If I sound like I’m gushing like the shower … I am, I loved L’ Hotel Palermo. In addition, the district of Palermo (shops and restaurants galore) along with the soulfulness of the people of Argentina had me yearning to stay, but all good things must come to an end. I wrote this review on my return flight home feeling satisfied with a heart filled with good memories. Special thanks to all - Mariana, Lucas, Martin, Lucila, Raquel, Norma, Jose, Juan Pablo, Jean Paul, Marina, Matias, Monica, Soledad & Matias. Their combined professionalism and grace made this weary traveler feel rejuvenated. One more thing - the hotel and swimming area are more stunning in person. The website photos, however good, don’t capture the magic and loveliness of L’ Hotel Palermo. Highly recommended! (obviously).
