Frommer's Review

In 2002, the Four Seasons took over the original Park Hyatt, which was already one of the city's most luxurious properties. This landmark hotel consists of two parts -- the 12-story Park tower, housing the majority of the guest rooms, and the 1916 French-style La Mansión, with seven elegant suites and a handful of private event rooms. A French-style garden and a pool separate the two buildings, and a well-equipped health club offers spa treatments, including a wine massage and facial. The spa was renovated in mid-2004, and renovations have been completed on all the hotel's rooms to convert them from Hyatt style to Four Seasons style. The spa is named Pachamama in honor of the native earth goddess, and among the specialties of the spa are treatments using wine and other Argentine ingredients. The hotel's restaurant, Le Mistral, serves excellent Mediterranean cuisine in a casual environment. Spacious guest rooms offer atypical amenities such as walk-in closets, wet and dry bars, stereo systems, and cellphones. Large marble bathrooms contain separate water-jet bathtubs and showers. People staying on the Library floor, formerly known as the Executive area, enjoy exclusive check-in and checkout; additional in-room amenities including a printer, fax machine, Argentine wine, and complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails. Located on the seventh floor of the tower, the exclusive Library offers guests of preferred rooms and suites a lounge area in which to relax and conduct business meetings. A selection of international newspapers and magazines is provided in this area, as is complimentary Internet access, nonalcoholic beverages, and coffee. The Library is open from 8:00am to 9:00pm. The attentive staff will assist you in arranging day tours of Buenos Aires, as well as access to golf courses, tennis, boating, and horseback riding. Kids receive bedtime milk and cookies. While new competition has opened up around the corner in the form of the new Buenos Aires Park Hyatt, the Four Seasons holds its own and continues to win top honors from Conde Nast Traveler, Travel & Leisure, and other magazines in their reviews of South American hotels.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
