5/5
The room was quiet and comfortable. My only complaint is that the bed was sloped to the edge. A detail that should not be present at $750 per night. The staff is generally very good, but communication among staff could be better. For example, the concierge had no idea the rooftop bar was reserved for a private party. The breakfast in the morning has an impressive array of pastries. Very limited on hot items.

Very nice hotel reminds The Plaza of NY, rooms with a lot of luxury and good size, beautiful common area and great buffet breakfast! Also very nice having the rooftop bar and the main bar. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Also very good location, walkable to the Recoleta and some shopping and restaurants. Very good price for the luxury that you get! Not a single issue during the stay, only positive things!
