In-Depth Information
The majority have outdoor pools and offer busi-
ness services. Prices are moderate and we
found most to be an exceptional value. It is only
recently, in the late 1990s, that five-star hotels
have opened here. Our selections, the Sheraton
and the Córdoba Plaza International (the only
five-stars in Córdoba), are both new to the city
and to this guidebook. In keeping with hotels
throughout the country, practically all offer a
generous breakfast buffet featuring fresh
juices, fruit, cold cuts, cheeses
,
breads and past-
ries, and assorted jams and marmalades.
If you prefer a lakeside setting or would just
like a break from the city, consider staying in
Carlos Paz
, a resort town 35 miles outside
Córdoba. Options include the
Hotel
Libertador
and the
Portal del Lago Hotel.
Both are described in the
Excursion along the
Camino de la Punilla
(page 345).
