4 Best Hotels in Montevideo, Uruguay

Background Illustration for Hotels

Many downtown hotels are grouped around the big three squares: Plaza Independencia, Plaza Fabini, and Plaza Cagancha. In the weeks before and after Carnaval in February, rooms become hard to come by. Otherwise, rooms are plentiful in summer, when beach-bound residents desert the city.

Cottage Carrasco

$$ | Miraflores 1360 at Rambla, Montevideo, Uruguay

Overlooking the sea, the hotel's sleek design translates directly to the stylish rooms where nary a line is wasted. The beds are deeply comfortable, and the room facilities are modern and welcoming. Common areas are done in clean stone and wood but with warm-colored furnishings. Breakfast buffet is fresh and abundant but not free.

Pros

  • Oceanfront
  • Outside the city
  • Good breakfast

Cons

  • Spotty service
  • Breakfast is expensive
  • Somewhat sterile rooms

Oxford Hotel

$$ | Paraguay 1286, Montevideo, 11100, Uruguay

Glass walls, broad windows, and mirrors give the small lobby an open but intimate feel, much like that of the hotel itself. Rooms at this English-style hotel are immaculate, the staff friendly and helpful. Despite its location near Plaza Cagancha, the hotel is remarkably quiet.

Pros

  • Central location
  • Attentive staff
  • Fast Wi-Fi

Cons

  • Some oddly configured rooms
  • Small bathrooms
  • Basic breakfast
