Hotels near San Telmo, Buenos Aires

The cobbled streets of San Telmo, the city’s oldest neighborhood, retain much of their historic curb appeal (with original architecture and storied mansions) while also exuding an intoxicating bohemian vibe thanks to the many artists, musicians and bars. Stroll along Calle Defensa to Plaza Dorrego to see tango dancers in action, get lost in the massive antiques market on weekends and pop into traditional cafés for a truly Porteño (as residents of Buenos Aires are called) experience.
