If the hotel scene in Buenos Aires were a tango, then the Purobaires Hotel Boutique would be a paso básico, a basic step that looks deceptively uncomplicated -- until you try it. That is, while larger hotels close by might offer kicky flair in the form of lush fruit baskets with monogrammed napkins in every room or common spaces cavernous enough for a game of fútbol, Purobaires goes the tiny and carefully considered route. Better to do a few things well than everything just so-so.
The rooms were renovated by the owners, a fact that perhaps helps explain slight differences in size. The largest come equipped with jacuzzis; everyone else will have to make due with the spa's sauna, the heated pool on the roof terrace, or maybe just a really long shower, taking full advantage of the fancy toiletries. Balconies overlook the courtyard or the street.
Purobaires's own restaurant is nothing to scoff at, but for variety, Palermo Soho isn't exactly hurting. A small gym in the hotel's basement will do in a pinch, but for a more stimulating form of exercise, clubs abound, where you can practice your abrazos and baldosas. Palermo boasts bars, boutiques, and an overarching spirit of bonhomie, due in part to those who gather in nearby Plaza Serrano. At night, an informal crafts market often springs up, where young designers who can't afford rent on storefronts sometimes sell their stuff. And consider yourself warned: impromptu sing-alongs are not uncommon.
