Hotels in San Telmo, Buenos Aires

San Telmo is old Buenos Aires — the barrio the city's wealthy abandoned after the 1870s yellow fever epidemic and never fully reclaimed, leaving behind cobblestone streets, colonial mansions and tenements now housing tango dancers, antique dealers, the famous Sunday Feria on Defensa Street and some of the city's most atmospheric bars. The Mercado de San Telmo is worth a slow morning. Less polished than Palermo, more working-class in its original bones — and better for it. For the Buenos Aires of its history and street-level tango culture, not the boutique hotel version, San Telmo is the neighbourhood that earns genuine affection every time.
