NH City & Tower

Ho preso parte ad un summit di O&G, ottima posizione, buon servizio e un fantastico catering!!

Questo hotel non si distingue particolarmente. Le camere erano perfettamente adeguate – contenevano tutte un minibar, cassaforte, eccecc. – ma c'era un'enorme differenza tra la camera standard, che era piuttosto piccola e scura, e le altre tipologie di camere, che erano significativamente più larghe e arieggiate. La lobby ed il bar al suo interno non avevano alcun tipo di personalità ed in alcun modo mi hanno invogliato a prendere un drink. Ci sono state anche una serie di piccoli inconvenienti: la palestra è localizzata in un altro palazzo, la piscina e la sauna sono aperte solamente durante i mesi estivi e il ristorante è aperto solamente da lunedì a venerdì. Posizione strategica, l'hotel è opportunamente situato a pochi passi dalla Plaza de Mayo e proprio di fronte alla chiesa di San Ignacio, le cui campane rintoccanti conferiscono al vicinato ulteriore fascino. A parte questo, però, non sono stato particolarmente colpito.

L'entrata è molto luminosa e calma, cosa molto gradita visto quanto morta può essere Monserrat nei weekend. C'è un buon ristorante, e tutto è decorato in maniera impeccabile, ma anche un po' forzato. Lo staff è professionale, ma un po' distante. Tutto sommato è stato l'arredamento che mi ha aiutato a godermi l'esperienza qui. Le stanze hanno lenzuola bianche ma comunque con abbastanza colore da non sentirsi come in un ambiente sterile, e dormire lì è stato molto piacevole, ma raccomanderei questo posto a qualcuno che è molto occupato e suggerirei di provare a socializzare da qualche altra parte.

bell'hotel, buona posizione;

I was really impressed by the foyer. Everything sparkled and shined to perfection, which was a dramatic contrast to what was going on outside in the street with all the refurbishments. In fact, this hotel acts as a little haven in which to hide from the constant noise and activity of Plaza de Mayo just one block away. It still wasn’t quite my thing though. The sparkles and the shine were great at first, but the attention from the staff was pretty cold and calculated. It’s a huge hotel, with lots of people to attend to, but I’ve been to a number of large hotels in Buenos Aires - and some much larger than this one - in which the attention was still very personalised. I was made to feel like just another number in the queue. It was just too businesslike for my tastes. They also shut the pool down at the end of April, which was another annoying thing to know - I like hotels which can offer the same facilities whatever time of the year you want to stay.

Everything here has been designed to perfection: it’s really sleek and luxurious if a little impersonal. Perfect for businesspeople or couples and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Great location that is really close to the city centre, tourist attractions and San Telmo neighbourhood.
Of the two hotels City is more traditional whereas Towers is more modern. The two places share facilities, including pool and the hotel’s gym, which is impressive and covers 3 floors. Lots of different machines and a yoga/aerobics space too with mats.
The rooms are a good size and they have a pleasant balcony. However, the division between balconies is quite flimsy so you’ll be able to see your neighbour and vice-versa.
The breakfast room is very charming and the food is reasonable plus they have some healthier food options.

Finally a hotel in Buenos Aires with a bathtub!! Technically, the NH City and Tower are two hotels right next door to each other, but they are the same property. It is large, but has a stylish boutique feel, very modern but still quite comfortable and not cramped. The rooms are bright and a good size with wood floors, and have spacious marble bathrooms with a bathtub. The set-up of the bathroom is a bit unusual, but comes off as modern and interesting, with the two large sinks out in the room,apart from the toilet and bathtub room. The location is really great, right in the city center near lots of historical landmarks and sites to see. The front desk staff were really helpful and can offer you a great map of the city! The gym is a bit sparse and lacking, but the rest of the hotel makes up for it.
