Most convenient hotel

If you’re travelling for business, I would opt for the comfort of luxury hotels such as the Four Seasons, located in Recoleta, which is walking distance from the highend shopping district Patio Bullrich.

Best restaurant for a business lunch

Any Puerto Madero restaurant is good for meat and wine in a formal environment. If you want to go local, you can explore Sucre or Grappa, which is built on what use to be a traditional family house.

Etiquette to be aware of

In general, Argentineans dress casual but trendy. In some cases, formal shoes may be a good choice.

What touristy thing should you do if you have the time?

If you´re an outdoor person, then have a walk or a run at Rosedal park. If you´re a culture fan, go visit the Malba Museum.

Don’t...

Look like a tourist with maps and guides and cameras hanging from your neck. Act like a local and use Google Maps.
