Hotel Colón

Frommer's Review

This hotel is in the heart of the city, on Avenida 9 de Julio overlooking the Obelisco, which gives guests here convenient access to virtually all of the city's metro lines. Corner rooms are more spacious, and many of the very large suites come with terraces. The decor varies throughout, and renovations are ongoing in this property, opened in 1984 in an older building. As such, rooms are hit-or-miss: Some come with very sleek modern interiors, others traditional, but the color theme throughout is creamy white, giving a luminescence to some of the rooms. Double-glazed windows mean the noise is blocked out in spite of its busy surroundings, but don't worry about oversleeping, as each room comes with an alarm clock. Bathrooms are very large, and some of the suite bathrooms have Jacuzzis. The restaurant offers international cuisine and a wraparound view overlooking the Obelisco. Lifeguards oversee the medium-size heated rooftop pool, located at the back of the building without a view. A small business center offers Internet access at roughly US$1.35 (80p) per half-hour.
