Marriott Downtown puts you in the city center. A rooftop indoor pool, a spa and a gym, per Marriott, and a published transfer from Ezeiza at US$110 one way.
At about 2.1 km from the terminal by our map, it falls a band behind Recoleta — though the tourism board puts the Obelisco about 15 minutes from the terminal by taxi. Tienda León’s airport bus stops a few blocks away, so use it if you’re traveling light.
Book it if
- You want a priced car from the airport
- You want a rooftop pool and the Obelisco on your doorstep
- You’re taking Tienda León’s bus from Ezeiza
Look elsewhere if
- You want a shorter taxi to the ship
- You’re bringing a pet
