Palacio Duhau - Park Hyatt Buenos Aires

Built in 1934 for the Duhau brothers. It’s an amazing property. This was a bucket list trip for me. I stayed for 7 nights paid for using Hyatt points and applied a suite upgrade award. I had emailed the hotel a few times leading up to my week long stay. I had requested a room facing the garden. When I arrived I was told my room was an upgrade but it was a standard king city view. I was then moved to the Park Suite, a huge room with big windows overlooking the gardens (this was more like what I had expected with a suite upgrade). Even the room key was fancy. Macaroons, champagne, and a note were waiting for me when I got back from exchanging money. Room details: King bed, 2 nightstands, huge credenza with TV that can swivel from the bedroom side to the sitting area. Desk with 2 chairs, 2 seat sofa, coffee table, end table, stocked mini bar, with coffee maker, teapot, snacks, glasses, champagne glasses, etc. Two thermostats one in the bedroom area next to the bathroom entrance and the other in the front entrance by the door. Lighting controls - Black out shades open/close. Bathroom nightlights on/off, main lamps on/off/dim, bedside lamps on/off/dim, reading lights on/off. Next level just have to say it on the lighting. Bathroom and closet span the entire length of the room. Includes a small open closet perfect for a jacket. Vanity with 2 sinks and plenty of space to store things. Toilet and a bidet closed off by a barn style frosted glass door. Rain-shower good size with great water pressure. Large open wall closet with room for 2 carryon size bags on the large shelf. Plenty of hanging clothes space. 2 drawers, and an open shelf. Another closed cabinet contains the safe. Soaking tub with window overlooking the bedroom. There’s a curtain you can close to block the tub window from the bedroom. The natural light coming in from the windows along with the garden views I absolutely loved. Facilities: There’s basically two sides to the property. The palace side, entrance on Avenida Alvear, has all the palace rooms/suites, reception desk, piano nobile, oak bar, Duhau Restaurant, spa, indoor pool, gym, patisserie, and florist. The Park Hyatt side, entrance on Posadas, has rooms/suites, Gioia Cocina Botanica Restaurant. There’s a reception desk and concierge here also. Note: Concierge hours are 11am-8pm daily. Both sides are connected to each other by a basement level art gallery. You can also walk through the garden to access each side. There’s so much to see and take pictures of here. There’s beautiful architecture, chandeliers, statues, and art work. On top of all that, the staff/service here is amazing. Jose the concierge saved the day… I know this is long but I need to give credit where it is due. The day of the River plate futbol game (Sunday) I found out that my contact was not able to secure tickets to the game. I was really upset this was a bucket list item for me while in BA. First thing in the morning I let concierge Jose know what had happened. Within 30 minutes he had two tickets for the game with less than 5 hours to game start. Jose saved the day!! The game was so much fun and is now at the top of my favorite things I did in BA. Thank You Jose!⚽️🤩 Breakfast: Breakfast served 7am -11am you can go to either Gioia Cocina Botanica or Piano Nobile for breakfast. *Gioia has a breakfast buffet and a La carte menu. Seating inside or on the patio. *Piano Nobile you can also sit inside or outside on the terrace overlooking the garden below. Breakfast is ordered from their menu. I preferred Piano Nobile for breakfast so I could order what I wanted and then take the leftovers to go (I took with me for lunch/snacks when I was out sightseeing). Breakfast is free for globalists. Honestly one of the best globalist breakfasts I have had at a Hyatt property anywhere. Lunch at Gioia Cocina Botanica - Swiss chard dolmas stuffed with barley, fermented walnuts, black garlic sauce and tahini. I’m not a vegetarian but I thought it would be nice to try something different. Service was excellent. Dinner Duhau Restaurant- grilled provoleta cheese, pesto, tomatoes. Argentina wagyu beef. I understand now why people say the beef in Argentina is so good. It really is that good. I couldn’t even finish half of it the portion it was so large. Santiago was my waiter and the service was excellent. Oak Bar: in the afternoon after sightseeing I would stop off at the bar to grab a drink. Over several days I chatted with Xavier (bartender) as he made my drink. I asked all the dumb tourist questions and he patiently explained. He also makes great drinks! Long review I know but there’s a lot to acknowledge in my week stay. I highly recommend the Park Hyatt and would definitely stay here again on my next visit.

This is a beautiful hotel with unique touches that will make your stay a memorable experience. Of course, this is what you should expect from a hotel that has the Vatican embassy as its next door neighbor. The staff is helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. In an area that isn't short on 5 star accommodations this really should be at the top of your list.

I stayed at the Palacio Duhau for a work event for a week. The check in process was smooth and overall the room was comfortable and clean. Some of the service of the people during breakfast was a bit mediocre but other than that everything else was excellent.

With the exception of the smell of the hotel on the Alvear side bc of the cigar bar we can’t find much to complain about. The rooms were spacious and we love that Hyatt has connecting rooms guaranteed. They left us several nice surprises including wine and cookies in the room. The concierge was helpful with numerous questions prior to arrival and a few reservations ahead of time. Location is great in the middle of Recoleta. We wound up not using the indoor pool which looked pretty large but used the gym which was small but OK.

The best hotel in Buenos Aires, everything is excellent and wonderful. We had an amazing stay at the hotel. We will certainly be back soon. The breakfast is amazing and the courtyard is stunning. The rooms are mimialistic but functional and they are attentive to any of your request and needs
