It depends on your own style and what you prefer. I suspect that most of the suites in the Tower building are significantly larger but YMMV. The main concierge seems to be located in the new building too, which seems to make sense since that's where the majority of the rooms are located. I'm not sure there's anything below junior suites in the Palace side.
BTW there should be a master thread devoted to the PH in the Hyatt forum here.

Have a pretty lengthy stay (for me) in BA next month.
Confirmed at Park Hyatt for 3 nights. I need a place to stay before and after the Park Hyatt visit.
Algodon Mansion...place to be?
Alvear looks way too old-school.
Not too interested in Faena, despite being obsessed with the MIA property..

I stick to the Park Hyatt there as much as I can.

I personally have only stayed at the Alvear Palace and the Park Hyatt and I much preferred the Park Hyatt but I know people who stayed at the Four Seasons and enjoyed their stay there. They also mentioned how much they enjoyed the pool area

I think part of it is that the Four Seasons BA used to be the Park Hyatt and isn't all that better as a Four Seasons than it was as a Park Hyatt. And the current Park Hyatt is better in various regards, with the major exception being that of the outdoor pool area.

I'm alone for almost a week then my wife is flying down to meet me.
So, right now, I looks like 3 nights Four Seasons, then switch to the Park Hyatt, then 3 nights ???? Wife likes the look of Algodan.

Perhaps recce more hotels before or while at PH . Then decide if just to stick with PH or switch to it earlier 
..
Really enjoyed staying in the tower side ( new wing ) corner & on the higher floors . You overlook the mansion , gardens , Vatican embassy , etc . Or if you decide to stay longer at PH try both , the mansion & tower .
Perhaps , for us , even more pleasant being in December .
Hope you get to see more of Argentina .

My wife does want the PH, so I may simply extend, but I hear SUCH great things about Algodon that I'm quite interested.
Will see more of Argentina, as we're working in a Patagonia element.
Thx for your advice!

If you must switch hotels, there are some interesting boutique properties in Palerma, Soho, etc. areas. [IIRC one that looked good is named something like BoBo.] I'd do that for the contrast rather than Four Seasons; for a single night, you can take a bit of a risk. Depending on your schedule and early check in and late check out possibilities at the PH, it could make sense to pick a more modest place for just an overnight sleep at the beginning or end of your stay.

We stayed at the Four Seasons BA in early January. I had not been for a number of years, but had been before as FS and PH before. It has just undergone a multi million dollar renovation. The lobby from my point of view was not great - actually kind of unattractive. However our corner 1 bd suite overlooking the garden and mansion was very nice. Bathroom had step tub and shower but same old tile. Service was great once we got there. Trying to communicate via email prior to our stay was min 72+ hours turn around. The outdoor space is nice in good weather with a small outdoor pool. The location is good but slightly off.
Our friends stayed in the Alvear Palace as had never been to BA and were anxious to try the old world hotel. Having stayed there before I was skeptical. After seeing their room I would definitely opt for the Four Seasons. Although the Alvear is in a slightly better location, the rooms and outdoor space are nicer at the FS. Restaurant Elena at FS is a more modern steakhouse is also quite good. Rooms at the Alvear remain a little worn comparitively, but I will say the lobby and bar are beautiful, and the location is terrific for that area.
We had a drink at the PH. Might try that next time as the location just a couple of blocks better than the FS, but no outdoor pool which is too bad. Minot sure about the rooms as did not ask to see.
