Checking the Conrad "New Conrad Hotels and Resorts Openings" page <
link> doesn't reveal a Conrad Bs As in the works anymore.
Grupo Farallón, the original developer, no longer makes any mention of Conrad participation, though it still discusses the
+5411 Juana Manso Blvd. project itself
here.
In fact the group sold off the land etc. for USD $40 million in 2008, according to articles and posts in
this thread on the skyscraperpage.com Forum.
From MATÍAS BONELLI Buenos Aires
"Se vendió en u$s 40 millones una de las joyas de Puerto Madero La operación se cerró ayer por la tarde. Los nuevos dueños ahora buscan un socio, entre los que suenan Creaurban e IRSA. La idea es respetar el proyecto original Juana Manso (+5411), uno de los proyectos más grandes y fastuosos de Puerto Madero, acaba de cambiar de manos. G&D y el Grupo Farallón, las dos firmas desarrolladoras que levantaban el megaemprendimiento en el Dique 1, decidieron tirar la toalla y vendieron el 100% del plan a Proideas, una firma con presencia en el mercado de los ladrillos y que, entre otras cosas, también opera el centro turístico neuquino Cerro Bayo, a través de la firma Cerro Bayo SA."

Construction on the St. Regis seems to be continuing.
Ushuaia and Pto. Iguassú Hiltons seem to have vanished - no substantive mentions by HH since 2005. No mention of any pending hotels in Argentina at all in the new Hiltons
pages.
