 | |  |  | Park Chteau Kempinski Hotel Buenos Aires: Boutique Hotel In Recoleta Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
We were supposed to stay at the Kempinski Park Central near the Obelisk and several subte lines but when we arrived they were either overbooked or were having maintenance problems and they sent us over to the Kempinski Park Chateau in the posh Recoleta neighborhood. We should have asked to switch back to the original hotel, although this hotel was convenient to Recoleta Cemetery, it was located in a quiet residential area and wasn't convenient to much else (including the subte), we spent an extra 15 minutes walking each direction every time we left our hotel, most people will find that they need to use taxis. The reception desk at the Park Central said this was a nicer hotel but as they were evenly priced, I suspect that they were of similar quality.
Even though we were on a quiet side street, we never felt unsafe returning to our hotel late at night.
I'd give this hotel an A for it's rooms, our room was nicely decorated with warm colors, a comfortable bed, cable TV, minibar, air conditioning. Our room was not on the street side so it was very quiet at night, another couple we met said the street side rooms could be a little noisy. Electrical outlets had slanted slots like the ones on my Australian adapter, fortunately the TV was plugged into an adapter so I could charge my camera battery.
The bathroom was also nicely decorated, there was a hair dryer, soft towels, toiletries were just soap, shampoo and lotion. Plenty of hot water for showers.
Breakfast is included in the rate, included eggs, sausage, pastries, cereal, fruit, meat, bread, juice and the breakfast room is right past the lobby of the hotel. It wasn't as good as the other two hotels we stayed at on this trip but it was adequate.
Negatives-the small 2 person elevator was rarely available so we ended up walking up 2 flights to our room every time. Not a big deal but they also used the stairs for laundry and room service so you were walking by this stuff every day.
The front desk made us a reservation for a tango show but they mixed us up with another couple. They got us a taxi but we ended up with the worst seats in the house. And the show, which they recommended, wasn't very good. All in all, the hotel staff did not impress me.

The hotel is not too big, a little decadent, it has awful elevators (the stairs are always the best option!) and its staff it is not the most lovely of the world, indeed (except the friendly maids). We were a group of 16 people, and we had different experiences at this hotel; I shared a triple room, and it was wide, comfortable and well decorated; the shower was a pleasure, and it had TV and frigo-bar; other colleagues were not so lucky, and had small rooms, without TV or frigo-bar. So I was quite satisfied, but other fellows were not.
El hotel no es muy grande, un poco decadente, tiene unos ascensores de pesadilla (¡las escaleras son siempre la mejor opción!) y el personal no es el más encantador del mundo (con excepción de las amables mucamas). Nosotros éramos un grupo de 16 personas, y tuvimos diferentes experiencias en este hotel; yo compartí una habitación triple, y era amplia, cómoda y bien decorada; la ducha era un placer, y tenía TV y frigo-bar; otros colegas no fueron tan afortunados, y tuvieron habitaciones pequeñas, sin TV ni frigobar. Por lo tanto, yo quedé bastante satisfecha, pero otros compañeros no tanto.
The best thing I can say about this hotel is that it is in an excellent location: one block from Florida Street, one block from Córdoba Avenue, two blocks from San Martín Square.
Lo mejor que puedo decir de este hotel es que está en una ubicación excelente: a una cuadra de Florida, a una cuadra de Avenida Córdoba y a dos cuadras de la Plaza San Martín.

| | | | Nuevo Hotel Callao: Watching the Action | Tip Rating: | | | | |
We got great enjoyment out of our balconies, especially the one beside the beds. During the afternoons, after returning from a day's walking, we would open the room up and just enjoy watching the hustle and bustle of the city below. It was also nice to have our own little Jacaranda tree waving in the breezes. This view from the wrought-iron balcony shows the adjoining room's access as well as the view down the one-way Av. Callao toward Plaza del Congreso, which is located only 3 blocks away.
In the evenings, the temperature was so mild that we could lay in bed with the doors open as we sipped fine Argentinian wine, talking and staring up at the old skyline across the street and into the sky above. Sometimes there were showers or flashes of lightning in the summer clouds. All the time, the busy street sounds of cars, busses and trucks let us know that we were in the middle of a large and vibrant city.
Fortunately, the outer wooden shutters, followed by the glass doors and then the heavy double-drapes, combined with the ceiling fan drowned out the street noise when we actually wanted to sleep! Leave a Comment Theme: Hotel
