Four Seasons is the perfect place to see Buenos Aires. Beutiful rooms - we had a suite which was gorgeous. Excellent staff and lovely brunch. Go out early to get good seats by the pool - it fills up fast. Buy the leather goods while you are there - I am so sorry I missed out! There is also great shopping in the malls.

An imposing property in the best district for easy access to all the interesting sites and decent shopping. Our suite was beautiful and well serviced; we had the use of an executive coffee lounge. There was a wide choice at breakfasts. The meticulously well-tended pool terrace was a useful feature in a city centre hotel during the summer. The staff throughout were delightful and obviously very well trained; they would put many an expensive European hotel to shame. The hairdryer connected in the bathroom drawer shorted during use; my wife sustained a burn as a result. At my request, the housekeeper and subsequently the manager who were both very attentive acceded to my suggestion that these dryers should be withdrawn from the bathrooms; some excellent wine was proffered as an apology! Our favourite nearby restaurant, just a few yards away, is El Mirasol which we visited last year when we stayed at the Sofitel; this was also fantastic but no pool. The Four Seasons would be our first choice when we return.

This hotel is my unequivocal choice as the standard bearer for excellence in Buenos Aires. Assuming that you will receive excellent service is a given because it is a member of probably the best luxury chain of hotels in the world, but their attention to detail left me feeling extremely flattered if not outright royal. Take for instance the porter Juan. After one encounter he not only knew and referred to me by name but was also helpful with navigation of the different sites of the city, took my pants to be dry cleaned and made sure my merchandise was delivered (the hotel is in the heart of a boutique shop extravaganza that rivals Madison Avenue with names like Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Armani, Ralph Lauren and the leather experts Rossi & Caruso) . In addition, the beds, pillows, etc., were comfortable and relaxing, the room service and food were delicious while the gym, sauna and steam room were adequate. Finally, the experience is one that I can, without reservation, recommend for a delightful, relaxing and exhilarating Latin American sojourn.

The Four Seasons in BA is the place where The Stones stay when they are passing through on tour. It is not cheap, but by European standards it is a bargain! The rooms are sumptuous. The beds are the kind that you just fall asleep in....even the insomniacs! The bathrooms are finished in marble with a seperate shower cubicle with a solid glass door, and the toilet is in a recess. I witnessed the maid clean the whole bathroom one day. It took her about 30 minutes and that included the hoovering and the polishing! Everyone speaks English, but sometimes they do not quite understand, but you think they have. As they want to please you they don;t ask for clarification! Can lead to baggage which we;d asked to be put in storage as we were going up to the Iguazu Falls for 2 days, ending up outside the hotel waiting for us to leave! I only give this criticism for future travellers to emphasise important issues and make sure they obtain confirmation of understanding from the ever-so-helpful staff!
