Gran Hotel Hispano

Buenos Aires


The tiny stairway lobby here isn’t an impressive start, but upstairs there’s a sweet atrium area with covered patio. Most rooms are carpeted and rather dated; those in front are biggest, and those on the top floor are brightest and have air-con. Pay in cash for a 10% discount.
