Small Boutique hotels in MONTEVIDEO DEPARTMENT

With the same name as the capital of Uruguay and also the Department of Montevideo, this area is located in the south of the country, where almost half of its population is concentrated. The lively capital, with its winding promenade along the wide Río de la Plata, is embraced by long fine sandy beaches and extensive landscaped parks.

The Plaza de la Independencia is a good starting point to enter the Old Town, with its narrow streets and squares festooned with old stately residences. With an intense cultural life, the Solís Theater, with its imposing neoclassical façade, stands out as one of the most important theaters in South America. The beach Pocitos is among the most popular to enjoy.

At one end of Montevideo Bay, the bustling Mercado del Puerto offers tasty grilled food to the sound of popular music. It is an area that testifies to the importance of its activity as a port city.

One of the favorite walking routes for the locals is the twenty kilometers that span from the Rambla Sur to Carrasco. From the Cerro de Montevideo, on which the 19th century fortress stands, you will get magnificent views of the city. In the “Tacita de Plata”, as Montevideo is known, you can stay in charming boutique hotels, both classic and contemporary in design.
