As an American living in BA for the past two year, I can say without hesitation it would be a great place to visit. Especially as summer approaches and the days and evenings are absolutely beautiful.
I need to disagree with one of the comments above. While English is not widely spoken in everyday life,all of the major hotels, most of the toursity restaurants, shopping areas, museums etc -English will be fine.
There are no Hyatts in BA, the park hyatt became a Four Seasons last year. As indicated above, the best bargains, other than food at restaurants, will be wine and leather goods. You can get a custom made leather or suede jacket for under 50 bucks.
The best restaurant IMO is Cabana Las Lilas where you can have a 4 star 4 course steak dinner with app, salad, steak, vegetable, potatoes wine, coffee and dessert for about $20-$30 depending on the wine.</font>
When in Buenos Aires, I eat at Cabana las Lilas at least once a day. I have never gone home with my stomach and taste buds not fully satisfied.
