Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires


Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires is a part of the Toronto-based Four Seasons chain of luxury hotels and resorts. It is located in the city's culturally rich Retiro District.

History

Constructed in 1992 as a Park Hyatt Hotel and renovated following its 2002 transfer, the Buenos Aires Four Seasons Hotel is a 12-floor main marble tower that combines contemporary and French styles. The main tower was built overlooking a French Renaissance-styled mansion, which houses the suites; the hotel currently houses 165 guest rooms, including 49 suites. The Mansion was a wedding gift from Mr. Felix Alzaga Unzué to his wife Elena Peña in 1920, and remains one of the most architecturally significant mansions in the Recoleta area.
The mansion adds a Parisian atmosphere to the hotel, with its stone façade and Belle Époque style. The Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires is South America’s only “World’s Best Hotel” recognized by Institutional Investor and rated in the Top 100 International Hotels, Resorts and Spas by Zagat in 2006.
The hotel underwent a $49 million renovation that was completed in 2013.

Francisco López Bustos is an Argentine architect who has worked on several 5 star hotels and embassies including the Irish and New Zealand embassies and business offices. His partner, Marcela Carvajal, is an expert in textiles. The restoration consultant for the mansion also worked on the restoration of the Colón Theatre Opera House.
