Centric Montevideo
Contemporary boutique lifestyle hotel with strong Uruguayan cultural identity. Bold colors, local art on every floor, tech-friendly rooms, and a design that feels more independent than chain. Art Deco tiles in the Spanish Colonial-style entry, blue subway tiles and red velvet at the bar, and a stained-glass-inspired lobby ceiling that floods the space with natural light.
River-view rooms (facing Rio de la Plata) look like pure ocean during the day — genuinely striking — but go dark at night. City-view rooms give you twinkling lights after dark instead.
Why It Matters
First Hyatt Centric to open outside North America. The Montevideo sign — the city's most-photographed landmark — is directly across the street. La Rambla, the 19-mile (30 km) coastal promenade, runs right past the front door. In a city with surprisingly few upscale hotel options, this property fills the gap between basic business hotels and full luxury resorts.
A 178-room, 13-story lifestyle hotel sitting directly on Montevideo's La Rambla coastal promenade in the upscale Pocitos neighborhood. Opened in June 2016 as the first Hyatt Centric property outside North America. Local identity runs through every corner — a lobby wall at Plantado restaurant is made of iron letters spelling out a Uruguayan poem, mirrored panels in guest room entryways are painted with Montevideo street scenes, and the library's floor-to-ceiling shelves are stocked with books by local authors. It's not positioning itself as a luxury hotel; the brand philosophy is 'everything you need, but nothing you don't need,' and it delivers on that honestly.
