{"type":"city","city":"Montevideo","citySlug":"montevideo","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/uruguay/montevideo","description":"Pocitos is where Montevideo exhales. The neighborhood runs along the Río de la Plata's edge in a long curve of pale sand and salt air, backed by apartment blocks in a distinctly Uruguayan strain of mid-century modernism — balconied, unhurried, built for the afternoon light rather than any particular ambition. It is the part of the city that residents actually inhabit, which gives it a texture that the older Ciudad Vieja, for all its colonial atmosphere, can sometimes lack. Both of the platform's Montevideo properties sit here, and their proximity is less a coincidence than a reflection of where the city's better hospitality infrastructure has quietly concentrated itself.\n\nThe Hotel Costanero Montevideo, operating under Accor's MGallery collection, occupies a position near the Pocitos beachfront and carries the brand's characteristic investment in narrative and material finish — MGallery properties are generally distinguished from generic luxury-tier hotels by a deliberate curatorial approach to the local, and Costanero leans into its coastal position accordingly. At around $180 a night, it sits at the higher end of what Montevideo asks of visitors, though that figure would feel modest measured against comparable design-conscious properties in Buenos Aires or São Paulo. The Hotel Montevideo, also in Pocitos and priced just below at $143, offers a slightly more straightforward proposition — less branded story, still firmly in the high-quality tier, and useful for travelers who want the neighborhood without the layered hospitality concept.\n\nWhat both properties share is their address: Pocitos gives you Montevideo at a remove from its more performed tourist identity, with the rambla — that long, uninterrupted riverside promenade — functioning as the city's real social infrastructure. Early mornings here belong to runners and mate drinkers; evenings stretch slowly. Neither hotel is an architectural landmark in the manner of, say, a Raphael Viñoly building or a piece of historic restoration, and Montevideo has not yet produced the kind of headline-generating hotel design that draws architecture tourists in their own right. What these two properties offer instead is calibrated comfort in a neighborhood with genuine character, at a price point that allows the rest of the travel budget to go where Montevideo genuinely earns it — its restaurants, its wine, and the particular quality of doing very little, very well.","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}]}]}
