For just over a week, Duhau Restaurante & Vinoteca and Gioia Cocina Botánica have been mentioned in the first Michelin Guide Buenos Aires Mendoza. Both are among the 57 recognized restaurants in Argentina, positioning our property as the only hotel in the country to have two restaurants among those recommended.
Two opposing concepts, two marked identities that come together in a single purpose: to provide exceptional gastronomy to those who visit Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires.
Hotel Chef Matías Roaux and Pastry Chef Paula Maroni lead and are part of teams that with effort and passion have managed to position our restaurants at the top of gastronomy.
Currently run by Franco Rossi, Duhau Restaurante & Vinoteca opened its doors in 2006, the year the hotel opened. Since then, the signature Argentine cuisine of our emblematic restaurant has been consistent in its proposal, offering the best cuts of meat in Argentina, in addition to treasuring the Palace's best kept secret: its artisanal cheese cellar. The wine selection, by Florencia Scilino and Mariana Aguirre, covers all the wine-growing regions of the country and the world to bring the best labels to those who visit Duhau Restaurante.
Previously known as the hotel's Italian restaurant, Gioia reopened in 2021 with a disruptive concept for a five-star luxury hotel in Argentina: plant-based cuisine. Led by Chef Juan Simonte, Gioia Cocina Botánica honors every day its commitment to offering haute cuisine based on products of non-animal origin. In just two years, Juan and his team have managed to position Gioia in the city's gastronomic scene with a proposal that combines surprising flavors and innovative techniques.
From Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires they seek to make a difference every day, with attention to detail and the creation of memorable experiences. Every step we take seeks to honor Hyatt Hotels Corporation's purpose of caring for people to be their best selves.
Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires opens the doors of its three restaurants and its exceptional terraces for a fantastic Christmas Eve celebration. On December 24, every corner of the hotel lights up to offer a gala dinner paired with wines from Bodega Salentein. The hotel Chef Matías Rouaux, the Pastry Chef Paula Maroni and their teams create a menu of steps and an unparalleled table of Christmas sweets that will be the delight of the guests. The evening is completed with live Christmas carols that will anticipate Santa's arrival at midnight.
