We strongly recommend you to hire the service of Manuel Tienda León. If you arrive to Ezeiza international airport, you can take the service from there that will leave you in Madero Av. and San Martín, where you will find Plaza San Martín. They also run a service from Jorge Newbery. This is the distance between the place you are going to be left from Manuel Tienda León Service and the hotel:
From there, you have different options to the hotel.
By subway
Take the subway, line C, in Retiro station (terminal station), until Diagonal Norte station, where you have two different lines to make combination: line B and line D. There you'll have to take line B (Carlos Pellegrini station) in direction to Los Incas, until Uruguay or Callao (they are at the same distance from the hotel). You can also walk from Diagonal Norte to the hotel, it's a nice walk through Corrientes Av. and Callao Av.
By taxi
You can take a cab on the intersection of Madero Av. and San Martín, and it should cost you around 30-40 argentinean pesos. In Argentina the tariff is fixed by an automatic system that you can see in front of the passenger's seat.
