History
The Park Tower is a 23-storey, 91-metre tower added in 1996 to the Sheraton complex overlooking Plaza San Martin in the Retiro district of Buenos Aires. The original Buenos Aires-Sheraton had opened on 24 August 1972, and the new tower - a Luxury Collection property with 181 rooms and suites - transformed the site into what was then billed as the largest hotel complex in Latin America, at which point the adjoining hotel became the Sheraton Buenos Aires Hotel & Convention Center.
Designed by the Argentine firm SEPRA (Santiago Sanchez Elia, Federico Peralta Ramos and Alfredo Agostini), the Park Tower's interiors were conceived to evoke the private homes of the city's elite, with European furniture, a 19th-century Italian tapestry, 18th-century paintings and abundant marble. Among its first notable guests in November 1996 were Sun Myung Moon and George H. W. Bush.
The setting
Park Tower, a Luxury Collection Hotel, occupies a slim 23-floor tower at Avenida Leandro N. Alem 1193 in Retiro, overlooking Plaza San Martín — Buenos Aires’ finest formal square, edged by the British Clock Tower and the Kavanagh Building. Avenida Leandro N. Alem is the commercial nerve centre linking the city’s financial district to the north, with Retiro’s combined railway terminus steps away for rapid access across the metropolitan area. The hotel commands panoramic views toward the Río de la Plata and Puerto Madero’s glass skyline, while Plaza de Mayo and Casa Rosada are nine minutes by transit and Teatro Colón, one of the world’s pre-eminent opera houses, is thirteen minutes away.
