Overview
Buenos Aires is a sprawling, passionate city of 15 million where Parisian boulevards, Italian-influenced cuisine, and Argentine culture blend seamlessly. Palermo Soho, San Telmo, Recoleta, and Puerto Madero each have distinct personalities.
The Park Hyatt Palacio Duhau regularly delivers 2.0-2.5 CPP against cash rates of $350-$500. The JW Marriott Buenos Aires in Puerto Madero is another strong redemption option.
The best time to visit is during spring and autumn (September-November and March-May), when jacaranda trees bloom across the city's leafy streets.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Buenos Aires range from $75 to $595 per night. Points redemptions offer 2.39+ cents per point value.
