Just outside, the Recova Restaurant area near the hotel is home to El Mirasol, known for Argentine steak dinners. In the Retiro neighborhood you will also find Floreria Atlantico, Dandy and Gran Bar Danzón. A short walk toward Recoleta brings you to more restaurants and the Patio Bullrich Mall food options. For anything further afield, a taxi or ride-hailing car is an easy way to reach other dining areas.
