NH City & Tower Hotel

NH City & Tower Hotel, Hotel building in San Nicolás district, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The NH City & Tower Hotel occupies the 1931 City Hotel, an Art Deco building with neo-Gothic towers on a 60-metre-deep lot in Monserrat. A central east-west block runs along the south side, with four north-south wings joined to it around light courtyards. It has two basements, a ground floor and 12 upper floors; a 2006 annex kept the facade of the adjoining house.

The building opened in April 1931 as the City Hotel, designed by engineer Julio A. Noble and architect Miguel Madero for David Hogg y Cía. and built by Peviani y Cía. near the Cabildo and Plaza de Mayo. In 1931 former president Marcelo T. de Alvear lodged here and founded the Junta del City, uniting the two opposition UCR factions. NH Hoteles took over in January 2000, buying 50% from Florencio Aldrey, and reopened it on 11 December 2001 after US$19.5 million in works; the Tower annex followed on 21 November 2006.

The 1931 interiors were by the Medhurst, Thomas & Harris studio, mixing styles: Spanish Renaissance entrance and hall, an early English Renaissance living room with stained glass and beamed ceiling, and a Tudor-style grill with oak panelling finished by axe and iridescent Spanish mosaic floors. The 12th-floor banquet room was decorated in modern style.

The hotel sits near several subway stations and bus stops, making it easy to reach other parts of the city. Its location offers good access to business districts and allows guests to explore the city with ease.

The hotel was the first of its kind in South America to have a radiotelephone system in every room, using the centralized Radio system then common in North America. The original 460 apartment-style rooms could house 720 people, and 30 rooms were built for guests' servants, linked by telephone to their employers' rooms.
