I stayed at De Las Americas in BA in January this year. The hotel isa
standard 3 star in a large city- it was clean, has all the usual room
amenities,. staff friendly & a reasonable breakfast buffet. From memory
some of the rooms on the higher floors were still to be renovated
However staff were happy to move us to another room on request. A
restaurant tip: down the corner from the hotel is a restaurant serving
excellent steaks (yes I know there are plenty of these in BA-this one
is close to the hotel for a tired traveller)- I think the restaurant is
called Liberator or similar- from the hotel entrance, turn left & the
restaurant is on the corner of the next cross street, only a few
minutes' walk. Have fun- BA is a great city, shame about Iguaczu. As
another poster here has said- if you ever go to the Falls, visit both
Argentina &Brazil. The bulk of the water is on the Argentinian side.
There are many opportunities to get up close (and wet) The best views
are from the Brazilian side.
