Hotel Costa Rica takes its name from the street it stands on, Costa Rica 4137, in the part of Palermo once known as Palermo Viejo and now often called Palermo Soho. The property presents itself as an elegant, relaxed place with a bar, a lounge feel and a terrace where guests can sit with a drink.

Visitors who want a personal scale rather than a large chain hotel may like it, though the details matter. Online reviewers rate it 3.9 out of 5. They tend to praise the location, the peaceful, charming atmosphere, the rooftop terrace and the friendly, helpful team. Others say rooms can be small and that privacy can be limited, so read the room description carefully before choosing. Reception is open 24 hours and the hotel can arrange an airport transfer, which is useful after a long flight. Check what the room you pick includes, because layouts and sizes vary from one room to another.

The setting
Palermo Soho is the Buenos Aires neighborhood many travelers from Brazil head for once they have seen the classic sights. Its low-rise streets are full of design shops, independent boutiques, wine bars, ice cream parlors and restaurants with sidewalk tables, and street art and murals decorate many walls. Plaza Serrano is the social heart of the area, with a craft market on weekends in good weather, and Plaza Güemes is a quieter square with cafes. The evening scene runs late, so expect some activity outside after dark. Palermo Hollywood is a short ride away, and the Bosques de Palermo parks, with lakes and rose gardens, are a pleasant place to walk or rent a bike in the daytime.
