"A Belle Epoque mansion and a 12-story tower make up this hotel. Inside, the decor mixes traditional with contemporary aesthetics—think mahogany and leather furnishings and decor and amenities that play up Argentina's passions for horses, tango and wine. The landscaped gardens are stunning and there's even a heated Roman-style pool. In the tower, rooms are lively and colorful, with lots of orange throw pillows and patterned chairs. The aesthetics lean toward French opulence in the Mansion, complete with gilded mirrors, glass chandeliers, and Toile de Jouy wallpaper." - Celeste Moure
"One of the high-end stalwarts in Buenos Aires, known for its luxury accommodations." - Billie Cohen
"A historic Belle Époque mansion makes up the two sides of this glamorous hotel (the other is an ultra-modern tower); suites in La Mansión include a private bar stocked with Argentinean wines." - Peter Kaminsky
"Sunday Brunch at Elena For a chic Sunday repast, head to Elena at the opulent Four Seasons Hotel in Recoleta. Like any Buenos Aires event worth its salt, brunch here is late, 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. But let go of preconceived notions: You’ll find no pancakes or waffles, nor even a menu—this buffet table groans beneath a gargantuan spread of charcuterie, fish and seafood, salads, meats and sides, pastas, and desserts. All ingredients are locally sourced, so if you can possibly conceive of something that’s missing, it’s sure to be out of season. Do not miss the dry-aged beef, and save room for the so-called dolce morte , or sweet death, ice cream. By Travesías"
"The Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires , which opened in 1992, is really two hotels in one. The more historic of the two is the three-story, Belle Epoque mansion, built in 1920 as a wedding gift from Félix de Álzaga Unzué, a member of a prominent local family, for his bride, Elena Peña. There are mansard ceilings and toile de Jouy wall panels, and many suites are housed here. The other building is a modern 12-floor tower, which holds the bulk of the rooms. These feature double-glass windows, private bars, and armoires with HD TVs. Every cushy amenity expected of a Four Seasons property is found in both styles. In 2013, most of the common spaces underwent a $49 million renovation, completely overhauling the lobby and the spa, and adding two new restaurants. There’s still the Roman-style outdoor heated pool overlooking La Mansión, but to complement it, more of the outdoors has been worked into the hotel: lavishly landscaped gardens, a rooftop garden, and a glass-enclosed asado-style restaurant that can be opened up to fresh air."
