Real prices per night for 2 guests, without member discounts. In January and February, double room for one night on weekdays (Fridays and Saturdays do not accept a single night). In December, from the 26th, a 5-night minimum stay applies and the only room with a rate for 2 guests was the triple: the price is the total divided by the nights. From 15 November to Easter, 10% VAT may be added for Uruguayan citizens, and it is not included. In some seasons or on certain days of the week, the property may require a minimum stay of more than one night.Updated 26/10/2026.
Months marked «·» do not have a rate loaded yet: the hotel opens its calendar in stages. That doesn't mean it is closed. If you are looking at those dates, check anyway: rates show up as soon as the hotel publishes them.
