Frommer's Review
The Park Tower will be rebranded as a St. Regis during 2007, meaning there will be renovations in the building to upgrade what is already a luxurious property. The Park Tower is connected to the Sheraton next door, and the two share some of the same facilities. The hotel combines traditional elegance with technological sophistication and offers impeccable service, including butlers for every room. Common areas as well as private rooms feature imported marble, Italian linens, lavish furniture, and impressive works of art. The lobby, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, potted palms, and Japanese wall screens, feels like you're in the Pacific Rim rather than South America. This quiet area is also an immediate contrast from the much busier lobby in the Sheraton. Tastefully designed guest rooms are equipped with 29-inch color TVs, stereo systems with CD players, and cellphones. A special "In Touch" program includes a Palm-like device which allows you to have a concierge at your fingertips at all times. The rooms have stunning views of the city and the river. The hotel boasts four restaurants that it shares with the Sheraton, including Crystal Garden, serving refined international cuisine; El Aljibe, cooking Argentine beef from the grill; Cardinale, offering Italian specialties and Café Express, a fast food and pastry shop recently opened off the lobby. The lobby lounge features piano music, a cigar bar, tea, cocktails, and special liquors. All the public areas are Wi-Fi capable, and there is a very large business center. The exclusive spa, which is not shared with the Sheraton, also received all new gym equipment in 2006.
