We stayed in park deluxe king room. The room was very modern and big. The bathroom was also big. The shower and tub are separate and the shower has a rain shower (or you can use the "normal" shower. Every night they left out complimentary water and apples.
All of the employees in the hotel were very attentive and friendly. The hotel was always very clean.
We used the business center in the hotel. It was nice. They had 3 computers. All 3 were never full at the same time.
We never used the workout facilities or the spa but we did take a look at them. They had nice equipment for a hotel gym. The pool was 25 meters. They have complimentary herbal teas and fruit for those who use the gym.
We never ate at any of the hotel's restaurants since we had many recommendations from friends of places to eat at. Bar Uriarte (Palermo Soho) and Casa Cruz (Palermo Soho) are a must. Skip Cabanas Las Lilas in Puerto Madero- average food but very expensive. We also never had a drink on the hotel's bar or wine bar. Also, because we wanted to hit some cheaper and hipper places in the city. One bar that is not too far from the hotel is Milion (Parana 1048). Once you go inside the building, take the stairs up to the 2nd floor. Two bars in Palmero Soho are Sala (Guatemala 4802). This is a martini bar. A bartender named Ariel speaks good English and makes some really good drinks. Go to Mundo Bizarro (on Serrano near Cordoba) if you want to feel like you are in a Quentin Tarratino movie- it's got that Pulp Fiction type feel. They only take cash at this bar. If you can't miss college or professional football on the weekends this fall, go to Shoeless Joe's Alamo Bar (the sign says Alamo Bar very big). It's not too far from the Hyatt (on Uruguay b/t Arenales and Santa Fe). They put the games on through an internet feed so it's not that clear but you can watch the games. Everyone in the bar was American (even the bartender). The drinks are cheap and the food was good (and also cheap). There is one other bar that is not to far from the Hyatt that is also supposed to broadcast football- Casa Bar- but it was closed. They are supposed to have the games on live (not an internet feed). Finally, a recommendation on a lunch place- if you are like me and crave Mexican food about once a week, there is a place in downtown called California Burrito Company (Lavalle 441). It's similar to a Chipolte, but it is Mexican food nonetheless.

I loved the Hyatt and would stay there again. It's very convenient to many restaurants, shopping, and downtown. We walked mostly everywhere- plus we felt like we needed to do some sort of exercise with all that we were eating and drinking. You will need to take a cab to Palmero Soho/Hollywood.

Went on business and took the family. We had a lovely suite with an Asian aesthetic and plenty of space. Lobby spaces and restaurants are very attractive and high quality.

After winning a massive trip extravaganza, Buenos Aires was the first stop on my tour. After the 40 minutes ride from the airport, this hotel was like a beacon in the dark. The room we had was HUGE! Almost too big, perhaps. The mini bar area wonderful and classy. The bathroom killer, with enough room for 5 people ! The shower was awesome after a long day of walking around/getting lost. We didn't spend too much time in the hotel except for sleeping, but its an extremely beautiful building.Beds very comfy.Every accommodation under the sun. The cons:
-tv had about 5 channels of English, could use a little more
( they have a long list of rather outdated English movies to rent for a dollar, but we didn't take advantage)
-the staff collectively didn't speak English as well as liked, leaving us with a huge phone bill after a major miscommunication from the front desk.Also, when it was time to leave, the check out left me felling exhausted and ready to get the bleep outta there.

This hotel is right in the middle of the very rich, snobby, Recoletta District of BA. Be prepared to spend all of your money and then some. My advice, walk about 6 blocks over and eat on the cheap. I spent a total of 400 dollars in 5 days and had the best time ever.
On weekends, go to the huge outdoor market and stroll through the cemetery and crazy church.

This is the most beautiful renovation of a palatial home imaginable and so subtly done that, at the moment, there is no identifying sign out front.

Its problem is that the impeccably dressed staff - and there are dozens of them wandering about - has absolutely no clue about what they are supposed to do.

They smile graciously and then then hide or cluster by themselves determined not to look at the patrons because no one has trained them.

For example, it can take over an hour in the bar to get someone to take your order even though four staff will be in the corner at the cash register looking away from the room. You order a scotch and the bottle is presented some time later for inspection. Please. Then a long wait for the drink. And never for the check.

There is no training and no supervision of anyone, anyone. It is a very strange feeling being there, and beautiful as the hotel may be, you will be frustrated beyond the capability your patience.
