{"type":"city","city":"Montevideo","citySlug":"montevideo","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/uruguay/montevideo","description":"Montevideo earns its reputation slowly. The city doesn't announce itself the way Buenos Aires does across the Río de la Plata; it accumulates instead through the long rambla that traces its coastline, the weathered Art Deco facades of Ciudad Vieja, and the quieter residential streets of Pocitos where mid-century apartment blocks look out over the South Atlantic with an unhurried confidence. It is in Pocitos that both of the platform's featured properties sit, which is telling. This is where the city has always oriented its better life, the neighborhood where Montevideans walk on Sunday mornings and where the water is close enough to change the light.\n\nHotel Costanero Montevideo MGallery occupies a position directly on Pocitos Beach, and the MGallery positioning suits it: the French Accor collection has historically favored properties with a sense of place over generic luxury delivery, and the Costanero earns that framing through its proximity to the rambla rather than despite it. At $180 per night it sits at the top of what the platform offers here. Hotel Montevideo, a few blocks into the neighborhood proper at $143, trades the immediate waterfront for a slightly more residential footing without surrendering the Pocitos address that gives both properties their character. Anyone whose instincts tend toward architecture will find the surrounding streets instructive: Pocitos developed rapidly through the 1940s and 1950s, and the apartment buildings from that period still define the streetscape, their horizontal banding and curved balconies carrying a distinctly local inflection of European modernism that never quite resolved into the Brazilian sensibility developing across the border at the same moment.\n\nWhat both properties share is a context that most river or coastal cities would envy: a walkable waterfront, a neighborhood with genuine civic texture, and a city just far enough from international tourism's main circuits to retain some of its own tempo. Uruguay moves at a different pace from Argentina, and Montevideo more so than anywhere else in the country. For a traveler who reads a city by walking it rather than ticking it, Pocitos is the right place to base. The rambla runs for miles in either direction, the old town is accessible by taxi in under fifteen minutes, and the two hotels here offer enough range in price and positioning to make the choice a matter of disposition rather than compromise.","provider":{"name":"PressBeyond","url":"https://pressbeyond.com","description":"PressBeyond provides AI-optimized hotel content with a consistent 5-image structure across its entire portfolio.

It is into this context that Hotel Montevideo was built — a ten-storey tower whose facade of dark-toned cladding, warm timber vertical fins, and continuous glass balconies sits in quiet conversation with the mature canopy of the street below. The ground floor opens through a colonnade of slender bronze-finished columns, with sculptural gold looped forms at the entrance suggesting a property more interested in considered detail than conspicuous arrival.\n\nThe interiors carry the same disposition. Guest rooms are furnished with upholstered leather-platform beds in dark chocolate, solid oak case pieces with simple bar-pull hardware, and fringed throws over white bedding — a palette of warm neutrals anchored by hand-knotted area rugs in faded botanical patterns. Blue-and-white ceramic table lamps with chinoiserie-printed shades introduce an unexpected decorative note, giving the rooms a collected residential character rather than a manufactured one. Bamboo roller blinds filter the canopy light that spills generously through the full-height glazing. Up on the rooftop, the property changes register entirely: a timber-decked pool terrace shaded by a mature date palm gives way to a glazed bar room tiled in encaustic cement with interlocking circular motifs, furnished with sage-green velvet tub chairs arranged around dark marble-topped tables — the city skyline visible in every direction at dusk.","snippet":"A Pocitos tower with timber-and-glass facade, collected interiors, and a rooftop pool beneath a date palm.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and collectors in Montevideo","vibe":"Understated-refined · residential","highlights":["Ten-storey facade with timber fins and continuous glass balconies","Rooms with hand-knotted botanical rugs and chinoiserie ceramic lamps","Rooftop pool terrace beneath mature date palm with encaustic-tile bar"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$136","pricePerNightExclTax":"$136","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt8y5e6010985uwwrvw26gg1717078823332_0b44fef3-25a8-441f-8693-0898d13ccf29.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Hotel Montevideo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Hotel Montevideo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Hotel Montevideo captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt8zac901fv85uwkzkidoyf1717078774490_f42e7f4a-b665-4d60-a6de-821e63a29d3f.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Hotel Montevideo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Hotel Montevideo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Hotel Montevideo, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt90f9201vh85uw8jz7s6zx1717078788792_25086f94-0b92-45ae-9878-c9bea90e9e40.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Hotel Montevideo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Hotel Montevideo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Hotel Montevideo — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt91k4702b385uwh5ialvq61717078809488_2372e941-4d3d-4159-8b1f-774c799d612b.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Hotel Montevideo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Hotel Montevideo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Hotel Montevideo, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt92ot702qp85uwugrs1ll31717078839585_3cfe6420-703e-4ce7-8b42-f4414c987d92.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Hotel Montevideo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Hotel Montevideo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Hotel Montevideo — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/uruguay/montevideo/hotel-costanero-montevideo-mgallery","city":"Montevideo","cityHeader":"Montevideo • Pocitos Beach • OPTIMIZE","neighborhood":"Pocitos Beach","loyaltyProgram":"ALL - Accor","designSummary":"Along the Rambla of Pocitos, where Montevideo's most coveted residential boulevard runs parallel to the Río de la Plata, a mid-century slab building was stripped back and reframed with a floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall that now gives Hotel Costanero Montevideo, part of Accor's MGallery collection, its most immediately legible gesture — a building that turns itself entirely toward the water. The exterior renovation grafted a contemporary glazed volume onto an existing concrete residential tower, the blue-tinted glass panels catching the broad light off the estuary in a way the original structure never could.\n\nInside, the interiors navigate a careful line between the building's mid-century bones and a warmer, more residential sensibility. The lobby is arranged across a double-height space in dark slate flooring, polished concrete walls, and wood-panelled coffered ceilings, with tan leather armchairs on black powder-coated frames grouped around a central bar whose backlit bottle display rises behind fluted timber cladding. Guest rooms carry oak plank floors, channelled leather headboards, and brass bedside lamps with pleated fabric shades — a palette of sage, cognac, and warm walnut that keeps each room feeling more like a carefully furnished apartment than a hotel category. In the suites, black-framed steel and glass partitions divide sleeping from sitting without sacrificing light, while the ground-floor restaurant deploys chevron-laid timber veneer behind its marble-topped bar, the whole room opening toward palm-fringed water views at dusk.","snippet":"A renovated mid-century tower on Pocitos Beach with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the Río de la Plata estuary.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts visiting Montevideo","vibe":"Mid-century-modern · residential","highlights":["Mid-century tower with floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall facing Río de la Plata","Rooms with oak floors, channelled leather headboards, and brass bedside lamps","Ground-floor restaurant with chevron timber veneer and water views"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$171","pricePerNightExclTax":"$171","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ul74g01ts15zv1yevxto91713362742132_aa386c97-b1c8-4f89-8fad-e66fd8385d79.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ulagz02bv15zvmwa4yc8s1713362743400_63ddb9b7-b14d-4a8b-829d-e5f28285f73a.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uldch02t915zvt8x68kd41713362744189_d3aa85a9-b2a2-411a-8b71-b69c207efc06.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ulg6u03b115zvheasejvf1713362745794_61c0e59b-921f-4c6e-8e5c-b2b9e675ea3b.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ulj8t03sv15zv7q373tyt1713362744990_bd101c41-15aa-4531-bfcb-f0ebd9b6c4a1.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Hotel Costanero Montevideo - MGallery — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]}]}
