Our Inspector's Highlights
• Classical, eclectic design and good taste reign at the 180-room Park Tower. Italian marble, Christofle silver, Persian rugs, Coromandel folding screens, German glassware and handpicked antiques are the norm here.
• No matter which accommodation you choose, you’ll enjoy a scenic view. Half of the guest rooms overlook the bustling port and Rio de la Plata, while the other half have panoramas of the buzzing metropolis that is Buenos Aires.
• Home to a 17th-century tapestry depicting Alexander the Great, the Lobby Lounge is one luxurious spot for respite.
• A glass of Argentina’s finest sparkling wine ensures a smooth check-in; new guests in superior categories can also take a complimentary high tea on arrival day.
• Park Tower’s well-equipped fitness center on the third floor won’t disappoint. You can even opt for a massage or facial post-workout.
Things to Know
• To take a dip, you can nip next door to Park Tower’s sister hotel, which has both indoor and outdoor swimming pools as well as two tennis courts and a putting green.
• Pop into the in-house Shopping Arcade to browse leather goods and men and women’s fashions.
The Rooms
• Gold and neutral tones, rich fabrics and classic furnishings are featured in the elegant rooms.
• The basic accommodations are fairly compact at 419 square feet, but certainly don’t skimp on luxurious amenities, including Italian marble bathrooms, king-sized beds, 42-inch LCD TV screens, and 400-thread-count linens.
• The most luxurious accommodation is without a doubt the St. Regis Suite, a 4,011-square-foot-space that exclusively commandeers floor 23.
• The Senator and Governor Suites are also large, at 1,722 and 1,884 square feet, respectively, and have terraces where you can kick back on a sun lounger and enjoy a private alfresco moment from on high.
The Restaurants
• Fine international cuisine is what’s on the menu at Park Tower’s St. Regis Restaurant, a glass-ceilinged affair located on the second floor.
• The floor-to-ceiling windows offer great views of Buenos Aires and Alem Avenue below, particularly enchanting in the evening.
• At dinner, tuck into a trilogy of sweetbreads and king prawns, veal tenderloin with truffles, or crispy aubergine cake with cherry tomatoes.
• If you’ve got a hankering for tea or cocktails almost any time of day, stop by the elegant Lobby Lounge and sip to soothing melodies from a live harpist or pianist.
