Park Tower, A Luxury Collection Hotel

Character and identity

Rising 23 storeys above Retiro, Park Tower plants you between the waterfront energy of Puerto Madero, the polish of Recoleta and the commerce of Microcentro. The 180 rooms lean classical and eclectic: Italian marble, Persian rugs, Coromandel screens, Christofle silver and antiques chosen by hand rather than specced from a catalogue. Every room faces either the Rio de la Plata and port or the city skyline. A butler attends each guest, backed by 24-hour concierge. The Lobby Lounge, anchored by a 17th-century tapestry of Alexander the Great, sets the tone. Pools, tennis courts and a putting green sit next door at the sister property.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The draw here is the service register: butler-led, discreet, the kind that has hosted heads of state without fuss. Book this if you want classical Buenos Aires luxury and a Retiro address, and request a port-facing room for the Rio de la Plata view. Superior categories include a sparkling wine welcome and complimentary arrival high tea worth timing for.
