What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Guest rooms and suites are what you’d expect of a brand-new Hyatt – spacious and sleek, with ample work space, flat-screen TVs, large bathrooms, free wi-fi – with the occasional piece of interest, like a red wall, a gilded mirror, or a quirky light installation.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in residential Pocitos, sandy beaches line the coast and Ciudad Vieja is a short drive west.
The rooms
Many rooms look straight out across the Río de la Plata, with generous work desks and sleek bathrooms.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Black mosaic columns and subtle cove lighting enclose the heated subterranean lap pool, lined with dark tiles.
The spa
A relaxation lounge with illuminated hanging sculptures and circular daybeds leads to private massage and bodywork suites.
The gym
Light hardwood floors run through the fitness room, set with Life Fitness cardio machines and strength stations.
Plantado Restaurant
Chefs cook regional dishes in an open kitchen under a glass atrium, bordered by wide windows overlooking the coast.
Moderno Bar
Cobalt subway tiles and scarlet cabinets line the marble bar, where tufted banquettes look toward the Río de la Plata.
How it began
The property was Hyatt Centric's first opening outside North America, built on the site of a historic seaside mansion.
