Family Friendly Hotels in La Plata

Just an hour's train ride from Buenos Aires, La Plata offers a different, more scholarly pace. This planned city is famous for its strict diagonal avenues and the massive, neo-Gothic La Plata Cathedral, whose twin spires dominate the skyline. The heart of the city is the sprawling Plaza Moreno, and a visit to the excellent Museo de La Plata, with its vast natural history collection, is a must for anyone. It's a city built around ideas, home to one of Argentina's most important universities, which gives its streets a constant, energetic buzz of student life.

La Plata is ideal for curious travelers, academics, or those on a longer Argentina trip looking for a manageable city experience. The microcentro, around Plaza San Martín and along Calle 8, is the most convenient area to stay, putting museums, theaters, and restaurants within easy walking distance. The city is very well-connected, with frequent train and bus services to the capital and its Ezeiza International Airport, making it a practical base.

Accommodation here is largely functional and value-focused, with a strong selection of modern business hotels and comfortable mid-range options. On HOTEVI, you can find places like the Gran Hotel La Plata, the Hotel Corregidor, the Hotel Del Rey, the City Hotel, and the more contemporary Howard Johnson. You'll find solid comfort and good service here, rather than lavish luxury.
