One guest praises the attention to detail and service, while another says they were ill throughout their three-day stay without attributing it to the hotel.

Palacio Duhau - Park Hyatt Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires, Argentina

City165 roomsHistoric

On Avenida Alvear in Recoleta, this 165-room hotel occupies two contrasting buildings: a restored 1934 palace and the contemporary Posadas building. Gardens connect the pair, while an underground gallery adds an art-focused thread to the stay. The palace brings French academic architecture and historic interiors; Posadas offers a more modern counterpoint. With several restaurants, a bar, and Ahín Wellness & Spa on site, Palacio Duhau makes its strongest case as a grand, self-contained base for exploring Buenos Aires.
