The Plaza Hotel Buenos Aires is a hotel in the Retiro district, near the Calle Florida shopping area and overlooking the Plaza San Martín. At the moment of its inauguration, the 9-floor hotel was the tallest building in Buenos Aires, until it was surpassed by the Kavanagh Building, inaugurated in 1936.

The hotel was part of several international chains including InterContinental, and Marriott (through which it achieved a five-star rating), then temporarily closed in 2017. The building has been undergoing refurbishment and it is expected to be opened in 2027 as a residential complex with a new 12-floor hotel structure.
