HOTEL CAESAR PARK IS HOME BASE IN BUENOS AIRES.

AFTER AN UN-EVENTFUL 10 HOUR FLIGHT FROM ATLANTA, A 40 MINUTE OR SO CAR RIDE GETS US TO THE HOTEL CASER PARK.  LOCATED CLOSE TO THE LA RECOLETA DISTRICT OF BUENOS AIRES, IT'S A MEDIUM SIZE BOUTIQUE BUSINESS HOTEL.  LOCATED IN A STATELY OLD BUILDING, THE INSIDE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REHABBED WITH A BEAUTIFUL SPACIOUS FRONT DESK/ATRIUM AREA, WITH A SMALLISH RESTAURANT AND BAR AREA OFF IN THE WINGS.  OUR ROOM WAS NICE WITH A GOOD SIZE FLAT PANEL TV, A DESK AREA AND A VERY SPACIOUS BATHROOM WITH A SEPARATE TUB AND SHOWER AND EVEN A BIDET!  OUR VIEW WAS LESS THAN SPECTACULAR, EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKED TOWARDS THE BAY, MOST OF THE WATERFRONT IS PRETTY INDUSTRIAL.  HERE IS THE BREAK DOWN ON THE HOTEL.  LOCATION:  IF YOU ARE IN B.A. ON BUSINESS WITH A NICE EXPENSE ACCOUNT, YOU ARE IN LUCK.  ACROSS THE STREET IS A NICE HIGH END SHOPPING MALL AND CLOSE BY ARE SOME VERY NICE UPSCALE DINING OPTIONS. FOR THE POOR TOURIST LIKE MYSELF, IT IS A BIT MORE OF A CHALLENGE.  TAXI'S ARE PLENTIFUL IN THIS AREA, AND NOT TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE UNLESS YOU GET JAMMED IN TRAFFIC.  AVOID TRYING TO GET AROUND DURING RUSH HOUR.  BUSSES SEEM TO BE FAIRLY EASY TO CATCH, BUT THE CLOSEST SUBWAY STATION I COULD FIND WAS QUITE A HAUL AWAY.  I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE STUDIED THE BUS ROUTES MORE THOROUGHLY, BUT I DID A LOT OF WALKING AND CAUGHT A CAB HERE AND THERE AND DID JUST FINE.  AMENITIES: THERE IS A SMALL FITNESS CENTER WITH AN INDOOR SWIMMING POOL ATTACHED.  THERE IS ALSO A SMALL DINING AREA WITH A BAR AREA ATTACHED FOR GET TOGETHERS.  THE CONCIERGE DESK WAS ALWAYS STAFFED AND VERY HELPFUL.  ALL OF THE STAFF ARE SUPER PLEASANT AND SPEAK FLUENT ENGLISH IF YOUR SPANISH ISN'T UP TO SNUFF.  EVERY MORNING THE DINING AREA FEATURES AN AMAZING BRUNCH.  SEVERAL FRESH FRUIT SELECTIONS INCLUDING FRESH SQUEEZED JUICES, CEREALS, DELI MEAT, CHEESES AN OMELET STATION AND HOT SELECTIONS ROTATING DAILY.  AS WITH ANY BUFFET, THE HOT ITEMS ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS ELEMENTS THAT USUALLY DETER FROM THEIR ORIGINAL PREPARATION.  ALL THE OTHER ITEMS ARE SPOT ON!
A SHORT WALK AWAY ARE SEVERAL LOCAL EATERIES, SEE SOME MORE REVIEWS, AND SOME INTERESTING SHOPPING OPTIONS.  STAY TUNED FOR MORE ON MY TRIP TO BUENOS AIRES.
