The Park Hyatt is the splurge pick for Mendoza and the city's best-known luxury address. It stands directly in front of Plaza Independencia, the central square of the city, so the plazas, cafés and restaurants of the centre are on your doorstep. The hotel is a full-service property with a spa that includes a hammam and hydro-massage tub, a pool, a fitness centre, a casino and several places to eat, including an Argentine grill, a restaurant serving international cuisine on the plaza terraces and a bistro. A buffet breakfast is served daily. According to Hyatt, rooms include twin and king rooms of 36 square metres and deluxe corner rooms of 40 square metres, with city or Andes views on higher floors, plus larger suites including a Park Suite, a Governors Suite and a Presidential Suite with a whirlpool bath and views of the pool and the mountains.
Location and getting around: the plaza setting is the main reason to choose it. You can walk to the other four plazas, the pedestrian Sarmiento street, the municipal museum and dozens of restaurants without a taxi. Parque General San Martín is about a mile away and easy to reach by taxi, and the hotel can arrange airport transfers to El Plumerillo, about five miles away, as well as bicycle rental for exploring the city. For wine country, ask the concierge to book a driver or a tour for Luján de Cuyo, Maipú or the Uco Valley.
The rooms: the standard rooms are bright and spacious with contemporary decor, work desks, free Wi-Fi, large smart televisions and walk-in showers with big bathtubs. Ask for a mountain-view room on a high floor, because on clear mornings the Andes are visible beyond the city. The larger suites suit families or anyone who wants a separate living area, and the top suites have kitchens.
What is good to know: the hotel has a casino, so the public areas can be lively in the evenings, although guest rooms are generally quiet. Rates are the highest in the city and rise in the harvest season and holiday weeks, so book early. The spa, the pool and the grill are the places to unwind after a day of tastings. The hotel suits couples, business travellers and anyone who values a central address with full service and a polished feel.
