Hotel Exterior, El Solar de la Plaza, Salta

El Solar de la Plaza

City
Northwest Argentina, Argentina

El Solar de la Plaza is a charming 30-room hotel located near the centre of Salta with plenty of character and history. With its carved wooden panelling, antique tiling and original works of art, it’s a very civilised, comfortable base while in the city itself.

Each of the bedrooms with parquet floors has been individually decorated in a tasteful way, and the two suites include a four-poster bed and Jacuzzi.

The hotel’s restaurant ‘La Terrazza’ offers a varied menu including classic dishes from the region and there is a small pool on the top floor.

Why we like El Solar de la Plaza

A characterful hotel with superb service in the ideal location.
