Hotel Pulitzer

Hotel Pulitzer

Hotel Pulitzer is located in the historic heart of Buenos Aires, between the business/shopping district known as Microcentro, and the elegant and cultural Recoleta neighborhood.

Each of the hotel’s 104 rooms and suites contains its own temple of relaxation: a sleek, black-tiled bathroom complete with a hydromassage bath and aromatic oils. During summer months poolside chaise lounges beckon guests to stretch out and bathe in the sun eight stories above the bustling Buenos Aires streets. Upstairs at the 13th floor Sky Bar, superbly mixed drinks flow while sultry, sun-kissed patrons take in the sunset al fresco.
