Continental Airline's Feb 2007 Guide to Latin America has a Starwood ad that makes reference to this upcoming property.
The Continental ad...

Seems to be a rebranding of the Park Tower -- a Luxury Collection property.
However, that doesn't really match the idea of a 2010 opening. So maybe these are separate plans.

Yeah the Park Tower is definitely different than this new St. Regis.
It will be great to have a new property in town, though I must say that it's hard to beat 3K points a night (for PLATS) to get one of the presidential suites at Sheraton Libertador.

St. Regis Continues Dynamic Growth Path as it Announces Plans to Open the First St Regis Hotel & Residences in South America
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:HOT - News) today announced an agreement with First South American Investments S.A. (FSA) to develop the first St. Regis hotel and residences complex in South America. St. Regis Hotel & Residences, Buenos Aires will open in 2010, introducing an unrivaled dimension of luxury and bespoke service to this thriving metropolis. St. Regis Hotel & Residences, Buenos Aires will feature 160 guest rooms and suites as well as residences, featuring inspiring views of the city's bustling waterfront on the Rio de la Plata.
"The passionate city of Buenos Aires engages visitors with its energy, enthusiasm and excitement, creating a richly textured cosmopolitan setting perfect for our global St. Regis guests," said Ross Klein, President of Starwood's Luxury Brands Group. "Buenos Aires is the perfect choice for the debut of the St. Regis brand into South America, enticing sophisticated, worldly travelers to explore this stylish and sizzling destination.

As one of the world's most alluring destinations, Buenos Aires is lined with majestic boulevards lined with palatial mansions, beautifully landscaped parks, a dynamic arts scene and vibrant nightlife. The newly constructed St. Regis property will be located in Puerto Madero, a contemporary dock-front neighborhood within walking distance of the financial and commercial heart of the city. In this fast-growing district, old brick warehouses have been renovated and transformed into upscale offices, residences, banks, theaters, and restaurants, with many more residential and commercial developments slated for completion by mid 2009.

Not thrilled about the choice of location-but I bet it will be nice.
Thanks for passing this on.

All I have to say is that this place is going to have stiff competition from the Part Tower, which, in my opinion, is the benchmark SPG property for any luxury property manager in training (esp in treatment of plats).

I would have preferred a W in an up & coming area such as Palermo SOHO.

No kidding. Puerto Madero also strikes me as a "W" ish neighborhood as well, or possibly a higher-end Westin, or maybe even for ALoft, but a St. Regis??? I can think of other B.A. neighborhoods where I'd totally see a St. Regis fitting in, and yeah, the Park Tower to me it "it" as far as the Luxury Collection bar to measure up to in B.A.

What happened?
Did this project get canceled? - I remember seeing the building a year or so ago, but do not see anything on the Starwood site.

St Regis Buenos Aires scheduled to break ground in 2011
From the latest press release: http://eon.businesswire.com/news/eon/20110302006004/en.
This would be a great option in BA (Havent tried the PH yet but have heard stellar reviews). We stayed at one of the smaller boutique hotels last time and it was great, although a StR certainly sounds better! Hope this comes through.

Have you been following the trials and tribulations of the Argentine economy over the last few years...?
There might be some hope if the current govt is ousted following the presidential elections late this year. Otherwise, we'll have to stick to the glorious Sheraton Libertador (as I am not paying anything over $150 for the Park Tower).
