This resort is set in the heart of the cultural, commercial, and financial district of Montevideo, 25 minutes from the international airport and a few minutes from the largest shopping centers, art galleries, museums, and golf courses. This resort/capital sits on the northern shore of the wide River Plata. The peaceful waterfront is lined with sandy beaches, and the charming Old Town is an open-air museum of 18th- and 19th-century colonial architecture.
