Where to Stay?
You will want to stay either downtown, in Puerto Madero or in Recoleta. Palermo, Belgrano and some of the northern suburbs are nice, but further away from the action.Almost all hotels are chica friendly if you register for two people.
travel agents
Listen up. Ole Pirate knows of which he speaks.
Use a good Argentina travel agent! You'll save money. You'll save time. Life is short. Let her do the work. Here are two of the best:
http://www.argentinago.com Mayra
http://www.wowargentina.com.ar Cintia. A great travel agent and very attractive, but it is best not to talk with her about your desire to get laid. Just tell her you want to reserve a room for two, because you want to have guests.
Hotels
Maybe you just want to see where your agent has booked you a room. And maybe you ignored ole Pirate and decided to book a room yourself.
Fool. It's gonna cost you more in time and money. Ole pirate don't mince words.
