  • Inn Details

    Once home to a multinational community of late-19th-century immigrant families, this recently renovated conventillo-style house continues to welcome visitors from all parts of the globe, maintaining the tradition of a hodge-podge of languages that inspired the hotel's name. Located on one of San Telmo's characteristic cobbled streets within easy walking distance of Plaza Dorrego, this intimate lodging has all the charm and personalised attention of a guesthouse. The nine air-conditioned, Wi-Fi-equipped rooms surround a small patio and are compact and pared-down. There's a retro air about the discreet decor, and the prevalence of dark wood - a motif throughout the hotel - adds warmth. Flat-screen televisions and chic ceramic sanitary-ware add a touch of sophistication, and in the modest bar and lounge area, you can browse an eclectic selection of books or contemplate the artwork on sale while the obliging staff prepares your tipple of choice. A great breakfast is included in the room rate: wake up to fresh facturas (sweet pastries), with coffee, yoghurts and fruit juices, or opt for scrambled eggs and toast.

    Spent 5 nights there before cruising. Staff was fantastic, food was great, rooms were clean and quite nice but a bit small for lounging in, but the lobby was where we spent most of our time in the hotel, drinking wine and chatting with the workers there. Would make it my headquarters if I was ever there again.

    I stayed at Hotel Babel in May and it was delightful. The staff, mainly Mauro, is educated and love their city. Mauro created my entire travel/tourist itinerary and made my visit a memorable one. The hotel is hip, artsy and contemporary. The rooms are modest and modern. The hotel is clean, safe and in a prime location. They offer daily hot omelet breakfast and wireless internet. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and family and I will stay there again.
