Comodoro's
answer to the Trump Towers, the sparkling Palazzo offers ocean views from every room
and tasteful modern decor, although ventilation could be better. While its features only
add up to those of a solid chain hotel, there's a decent restaurant and the eager staff offers
helpful recommendations.

Co-
modoro's only boutique effort is this shining new hotel just outside the town center, with
an unfortunate office-building-like exterior. Rooms have a refreshing, contemporary
look, with crisp white linens, neutral tones and glass-walled tubs. There's restaurant ser-
vice and a gym. Guests have access to spa, Jacuzzi and pool included. Located just off
the
costanera,
in a convenient but industrial area.
Eating
The oil boom in this part of the world has bankrolled a taste for fine dining. Look out for
the free
Sabores del Sur
restaurant directory in your hotel.
