Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires

Located on the most famous boulevard in the city’s Recoleta neighbourhood, the neoclassical palace of Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires is an excellent place to stay for those who are interested in architecture and culture.

Recoleta, the most prestigious of the barrios in Buenos Aires, is a delight to wander through since it features magnificent French architecture, upscale boutiques, a large number of parks and cafés, and an extraordinary cemetery that is now known all over the world. It takes fifteen minutes to walk to the nearest tube station.

Rooms

In these pristine classic interiors, everything appears to be of a much larger size. With a hint to minimalism, they are not at all eccentric or glamorous, but they have everything you require: a neutral colour scheme, classic and discreet furnishings, and all of the minor touches that you anticipate from a top five star establishment (a Nespresso machine, morning newspaper, and DVDs on demand).

Unlike other city hotels, marble bathrooms are roomy and come equipped with a bathtub in every single one of them. In addition, there is your butler, who puts a waxy red apple next to your bed at night and leaves charming notes all over your room while you are sleeping.

Services

As a result of the completely charming, smiling, and hospitable staff, you will feel as though you were meant to live in a palace. It is possible that it would be simple to feel insignificant when you are surrounded by such perfect surroundings.

And what a palace it is, with everything hidden within its alabaster walls; from the most extensive spa in the city, a glowing blue under-palace cave with a lusciously long pool and unfailingly brilliant tailored treatments, to Luigi de Carlo, the in-house tailor, a glorious flower boutique full of bright blooms, and a rotation of art exhibitions by local artists.

All of these things are inside the palace. There are wonderful cocktail events and summer music nights that take place in the terraced garden, which is a pleasant place to be.

Food and drinks

You can pick from superb fine dining on candlelight terraces with a menu that pays real tribute to Argentine cuisine, including outstanding steak, ostrich, and a Patagonian eel tossed in for good measure. There are three restaurants available for your eating pleasure. For a more laid-back dining experience, the Gioia restaurant offers a selection of freshly prepared Italian cuisine.

The breakfasts are a delight and among the most beautiful that can be seen in the city. They consist of a lavish buffet consisting of silver platters stacked high with delightful pastries and sufficient fruits, salmon, cold meats, and cheeses to set you up for your strolls through the city. Additionally, à la carte classics are available for those who are still feeling hungry.
