What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
They’re all larger than you’d expect, outfitted in blonde wood and earth tones.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The coastal Rambla is two blocks away along the Río de la Plata. Neighborhood bistros fill the surrounding residential streets.
The rooms
Bedrooms have generous layouts finished in pale timber and earth tones. Several open onto small private terraces overlooking the street.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated water fills the outdoor pool, set on a solarium terrace looking out toward the Río de la Plata.
Restaurant
Bistro O
Tables spill onto a sidewalk terrace beneath the awning, serving seasonal bistro plates and Uruguayan wines.
At the table
Tables line the indoor banquettes for breakfast. Up on the third floor, the terrace bar pours evening cocktails.
