Hotels in Uruguay

Often referred to as the Switzerland of South America for its stable government (especially for the region) and its generous social programs, South America’s second smallest country is also one of the most interesting to visit. The name Uruguay means, “River of the Colorful Birds.” Whether that refers to the Uruguay River to the west or the estuary of Río de la Plata to the southwest, the country also boasts its share of natural beauty, as you can tell by staying in many Uruguay hotels. Though many Uruguay landmarks are natural, rather than man-made, especially in the north, a hotel in Uruguay’s southern cities is the best way to experience the country.

Hotels in Uruguay’s capital city of Montevideo can provide you with a front-row seat to some of the country’s most historic sites and some beautiful nature and some modern sights that are quite eye-opening.
