Hotel Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt, Buenos Aires
Expert reviews
“There is a sensation of flow at the Park Hyatt, whose setting is a converted mansion dating from 1934. Its marbled passageways run like streams, extravagant chandeliers appear to unravel from ceilings, and one elegant-chic space after another opens invitingly before guests.”
“This landmark hotel ups the ante for elegance — its two buildings, a restored 1930s-era mansion and a 17-story tower, are connected by an underground art gallery and an expansive, leafy garden that’s among the city’s most attractive outdoor area.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Buenos Aires.
“Combining traditional elegance in its restored Belle Epoque mansion with minimal modernism in its newer tower, this landmark Recoleta hotel has the best of both worlds.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Buenos Aires.
“One of the two buildings that make up the chic Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires is a Belle Époque-style palace from the 1930s, the other is a sleek, minimalistic tower. Both exude an understated regality — the kind that comes with discreet and flawless service in the most elegant of settings.”
“Elegance shimmers from every chandelier of this fabulous palace, which pays homage to the glory days of Thirties Buenos Aires. Classic with a modern twist and unfailingly stylish, with every whim catered for, in this delightfully unpretentious five star.”

Great location, great interior & friendly staff.
Very fancy hotel and garden. Great locaiton.
Staff had no clue about difference between Americano & black filtered coffee. It's a 5 star hotel! Not a 3 star hotel in the slums. The breakfast buffet did not include eggs.

Disappointing and a waste of money
Duhau Palace is lovely, but our room was in the ultra modern Hyatt tower
Room stylish stark modern and frustrating. Light switches impossible to navigate. Lack of USB sockets unacceptable at this price level. On first night our lights fused knocking out all room power. Fixed, but without bedside lights. Toilet blocked an unusable. Given new room next morning, identical but on 16tg flor! Where the tower swayed continuously with occasional shudder. Most uncomfortable.

Not bad but quite plain and overpriced.
The location is nice. The staff is friendly and helpful.
The hotel does not seem fresh and it is definitely overpriced. For the money we spent I expected something more premium.

Very underwhelming and poor value for money
The property itself was lovely, and the gardens and outside terrace was very smart, and well maintained
The food was poor (very average at best) and over priced, the bedrooms were not made up before 2ish in the afternoon, the balcony door kept breaking - we had to call in the engineer twice. The gardens were closed off in part for 2 of the three days for private functions (the gardens and terrace are the best part)

Property is beautiful with a garden in the middle. Service is excellent and the staff goes out of their way to please.

The indifference and lack of attention to detail or concern about us was apparent.
Location was good, lots of homelessness in neighborhood though.
The shower didn’t work, floors super slippery, room service staff not trained properly about order. Nice hotel but not a 5 star, will stay at 4 season next time, right down the block.

Great place but the service needs improvement
The property is gorgeous!
The room was outdated and not to international standards

breakfast not included was so bad for the price of a room, i had to pay an extra fee for it and the juices were sparkling like fermented

all around perfect
I loved it. the location is perfect. the staff went above and beyond. everyone was so friendly and the breakfast was great. especially Camilla, Melanie and Jose were amazing. they helped us get our luggage back after Air France lost it. the facilities are great and everything looks clean and well taken care of. if you are looking for an all around great if slightly expensive experience look no further! the steak restaurant is also a great place to go. Tip- pay with visa or MasterCard, foreign card means no tax and both cards offer a very favorable tourist currency rate- pay in ARS on card and save money.
only that there are no USB connections available at the bed.

A great stay despite some initial issues
If I had been asked to write this review on the day we had checked in, then I would have given this hotel a very poor rating why? See the negative comments. Having got over the awful check in process the hotel grew on us. The hotel room itself was spotless, the cleaners did a great job. It was a good sized room, which a balcony (although see negative section), the bed was comfortable, and it had a kettle and coffee machine in the room. Good size wardrobe, and hidden safe. The bathroom was big and the shower options were good (although see negative section) and we were happy with toiletries and towels. We ate in the Duhau Argentinian restaurant and the food, service, ambiance was excellent. We ate in the Piano Nobile restaurant and the food was fine. It was in a great location with easy access to restaurants and coffee shops. The gardens were lovely. The staff were helpful and friendly. We did have a lovely time in Buenos Aires
We had had a long day and arrived at the hotel around 9pm and the check in was shambolic, it took 30 mins to check in (and there were only 2 guests before us) due to at first only one person being on check in, eventually they found someone else. Unfortunately, not only were the first set of guests still there after we had been seen, the guests before us also seemed to have trouble checking in. There seemed to be plenty of staff around but limited ability to help guests. On arriving at our room, we weren't in the best of moods but over the next few days we did warm up to the hotel however we do have the following observations: We'd booked a room with a balcony, and thought we would enjoy some wine out of the deck, well you can do this, if you don't want to do it together, as there is only one chair. The bathroom was huge but not practical. Limited space to put washbags, the two shelves had items on them and were high up, and the hairdryer was in a box right up on the top shelf. Luckily we are tall so could reach it. In the shower/bathroom it is a wet room, with slates for the shower, but it is really uncomfortable on the feet, plus the water took forever to drain, still wet when we came back at later in the day. The turning off and on of lights is not straight forward, hence the information sheet explaining which buttons to press. Getting from one side of the hotel is not easy and as my husband had recently had knee surgery it isn't suitable for those who can't manage stairs. Yes there are elevators in the underground walkway, but one was out of action, so you have to able to do stairs otherwise you need to walk outside and go up the road to get to the other side. Finally, the room is not sound proofed and unfortunately during the night, if you are a light sleeper, you will hear traffic, sirens and refuse vehicles.

Best spot in Buenos Aires. Forget Faena and other stuff. Ask for a garden view room.
Nothing. However, I believe it is no good to disable, since it has lot of small stairs.

Luxury in Buenos Aires.
The staff was amazing, from the guards at the door, front desk, breakfast attendants, bartenders, housekeeping, they all insured we had everything we needed. The hotel is also beautiful. We reserved the palace and our room was spectacular.
The only slight problem was the concierge couldn’t find a package that had arrived for us. But they found it after showing them the proof a staff member had signed for it.

Would definitely recommend this hotel for a luxurious stay.
Breakfast was fabulous. Room was spacious and well laid out. Very tranquil. Beautiful gardens. Staff was exceptional and wanted to ensure a great stay.
Didn't like QR code for services. I detest QR codes and don't like looking at my phone for this info. A written option would be preferable. Also, light switches were very complicated. Better labeling for what switch does what would be better.

Rooms on the palace side are much better. we only got to stay on the palace side during our second week

good stay, but too expensive for Argentina. Payd more for Hyatt in Buenos Aires than for the stay at San Francisco.
location, clean, food
We booked for one price in pesos through booking. .com, but were charged by highest price at the hotel. most of the staff doesn’t speak English

Beautiful hotel. Great breakfast. Great restaurants placed in a charming garden. Very helpful staff.
Terrible wifi in the room. TV channel selection was a little poor for international users, considering the quality of the hotel.
