In my opinion The Bristol is the most detail-oriented hotel in the country. While it´s not super glitzy like a Ritz, the service and attention to detail is as good as anywhere I`ve been in the world. You`ll receive your own business cards when you arrive, personalized with your room number and fax on them should you be doing any business during your stay.

The restaurant below is super classy and though I`ve never eaten there, I`ve heard really great things. There`s no pool which was a bummer for me, but all in all, this is one of the finest service-oriented establishments around. I once went downstairs to ask for two wine glasses and the bartender returned with three different sets, inquiring as to exactly what kind of wine I would be needing them for. I shrugged and told him I didn`t know, but it was red.

The hotel says it`s `Set in the heartof the bustling Financial center, minutes from shopping, cultural attractions and nightlife,The Bristol is a rare jewel where luxurious accommodations and sumptuous dining are blended to create uncompromising quality`

The location is pretty darn good, just minutes away from my favorite nighttime spot, Calle Uruguay and super close to casinos, restaurants, and the ocean. If you can spare the extra change, make an effort to stay here.

I`d agree with everything there and reccomend the hotel to anyone. Rooms are a bit pricey but in terms of the overall hotel experience, you can`t get much better than this. Oh, and if it means anything to you, they are a member of a club called `the leading hotels of the world.` Can`t be all that bad.
