Will see other parts of the city today.
Just be "streetsmart" and look like you know where you're going, and don't fight with anyone trying to take your goods, like the person that was murdered a while back by trying to save a camera right at the Torre Monumental (across from your hotel).
Whatever you do, don't wander to the area behind Retiro station (the right side, facing the station facade), and better not to dawdle in the parks surrounding your hotel at night.
Also (not Park Tower specific), note this US Embassy Alert from earlier this week:
https://ar.usembassy.gov/security-al...ugust-22-2024/
Of course, I'd take that same advice anywhere in the USA - but the Embassy must be receiving specific reports for this alert. Accordingly, if this is playing in your head, take appropriate precautions
