Four Seasons Buenos Aires

| Welcome to the Four Seasons Buenos Aires |
Sadly, there were no coffee makers in the room and I didn’t have
time for room service. It was a large
room (646 square feet) with the bedroom separated from the living area by a
large TV armoire thing. The room décor was attractive in a subdued hotel way,
but there were evocative tango paintings on the walls. The furniture was
comfortable and looked expensive. Thoughtful touches, like the electric
converter in the desk drawer, were appreciated.
The walk-in closet was very well designed.
After I surveyed the room and
took some photos, I needed to quickly get ready. At that point of our journey,
the dark circles under my eyes had become like ancient leather valises and I
despaired my repair efforts would be in vain. Then I heard my name being called
softly. I looked around the spacious bathroom to observe the huge Jacuzzi tub
beckoning me, scented bath salts at the ready.
If only I had more than fifteen minutes to spare, I knew the
hydro-massage would restore me. It wasn’t easy to resist, but our hosts were
waiting.

Executive Chef Juan Gaffuri
created a special Tasting Menu for our private dinner, and it was an
exceptional meal. After dinner, we went to a
milonga for an authentic Tango experience. It was fun to watch the locals
tango and give it a try.
I returned to the hotel at
2am and finally discovered how amazing a Four Seasons bed can feel. Intellectually, I knew their beds were the
best in the industry; but sleeping is believing. Perfection! Only a
poet could describe how sublime the linens were. But at 6am, I awoke to hear my
name again. As if the Jacuzzi knew my
7am wake-up call would only permit a quick shower, it tried to entice me once more. The bed would not release me: who knows when I’ll have another
opportunity to experience the fabulous Four Seasons bed? It was a pleasant
struggle but the bed won the hour. If only all life dilemmas were as wonderful…

After a quick bite and cafe con leche from the buffet breakfast at Le Mistral, and our private walking
tour of the city guided by Abercrombie & Kent, we returned for a tour of
the hotel. We inspected a Deluxe room (definitely upgrade to the Junior Suite
for the extra space, double vanity and Jacuzzi tub). We explored the Preferred Lounge called The
Library, the full-service Spa and Fitness center and the Presidential Suite in La
Mansion, where Madonna stayed while filming Evita.
There they arranged a private tango
performance and served champagne- amazing! From there, we went to Sunday Brunch for
another superb meal created by Juan
Gaffuri. The musicians played a Tango version of “Autumn Leaves” as I wandered through the garden admiring the heated outdoor pool.
