In a city famous for its historic mansions, Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt Buenos Aires at Recoleta is one of them all. For more than 50 years, the palace – which was designed by French architect Léon Dourgé for the distinguished Duhau family in the 1930s – was a private residence until it was converted into a hotel in 2006.
