The three-and-a-half-pearl My Suites
Montevideo delicately balances familial charms and modern sophistication in one of the city's nicest neighborhoods. The 40 contemporary rooms are sharp and sober, with comforts like microwaves, minibars, spacious bathrooms, and air-conditioning. The hotel is focused on local products, particularly Uruguayan tannat
wine, and features a wine shop, free daily tastings, and wine bar. Things like parking and on-site dining can be pricey, though there is plenty of excellent food to sample in the hotel's upmarket Pocitos neighborhood. Intercity Hotel and Cala di Volpe are both
solid alternatives within the same neighborhood, though they lack
My Suites' wine-themed perks.

Scene
Contemporary boutique hotel with a sophisticated vibe
The chic My Suites Montevideo makes guests feel like they’re part of an exclusive club, one where people sip good wine and discuss
South American politics over late-night dinner at the cozy restaurant. The vibe
is both intimate and sophisticated -- seemingly endless bottles of wine are displayed
in perfectly symmetrical rows along walls, while a gentle cascading water
fountain enhances the tranquil mood on the outdoor patio. The look throughout the hotel is smart and contemporary, with plenty of on-trend colors and materials like dark woods, stone, and marble. This boutique property caters to
a smaller crowd, including many Brazilian tourists, though the hotel’s unique theme -- it’s the only hotel dedicated to tannat wine in all of Uruguay -- attracts wine-lovers
from all around the world. Guests include plenty of families and couples.
Location
In Montevideo's upmarket Pocitos, a short walk from the Rambla
My Suites is in the upmarket Pocitos neighborhood, a popular
locale among tourists for its proximity to the waterfront Rambla -- about 10 minutes away on foot -- as well as the neighborhood's abundance of restaurants and boutiques. Popular local dining includes La Otra,
Amadeo, and Hoy Te Quiero, all between five and 10 minutes away from the hotel on foot. It’s a four-minute walk to Castillo Pittamiglio Theatre, and
10 minutes to Pocitos Beach as well as the trendy Punta Carretas neighborhood. The
hotel is also close to the Club de Golf del Uruguay, less than 10 minutes away by taxi, and a 15-minute cab ride to scenic Ciudad Vieja, the city's historic district. Ferries to Buenos Aires depart from the seaport and can be reached in 15 minutes by car, while the Tres Cruces bus terminal is just over 10 minutes away by taxi. Carrasco International Airport is a 30-minute drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Classy, spacious rooms with minibars and microwaves -- some with sea views
The 40 rooms at My Suites are spacious, classy, and
contemporary, with deep chestnut accents, wood floors, and original
artwork by Uruguayan artists on the walls. Attention to detail sets these rooms apart from other Montevideo hotels in this category -- rooms have plenty of charging
docks with varied shapes to avoid adapters (there’s even a charging dock inside
the room safe!), and furniture has a sharp, mod quality. Each room offers a specific bottle of wine from a local
Uruguayan winery and some information about its profile, as well as an
invitation to take a winery tour. Hues throughout the rooms are sober, and alternate between stark white walls and darker shades of brown, green, and burgundy. All rooms include minibars, microwaves, and utensils, as well as flat-screen TVs,
near-silent air-conditioners, and electric black-out shades. There’s also an accessible
room for those with mobility issues. The bathrooms are large, with lots of
counter space, bright lighting, and shower-tub combos.
Features
Local wine specialists, wellness area with fitness room and sauna, plus free healthy breafkast
The best, and most unique, feature of this hotel is its focus on local products -- local olive oil tastings are on offer and there's an on-site sommelier along with an excellent (and abundant) selection of local wines. The hotel has a shop selling a large array of tannat wine and offers wine-themed tours of the city. The hotel’s on-site restaurant has a pricey and limited menu, though dishes are tasty. The highlight is the wine bar, where a knowledgeable sommelier leads free wine tastings throughout the week. A modest-but-varied breakfast buffet is included with room rates -- it features eggs, pastries, meats, and cheeses, as well as healthy touches like chia seeds and dried fruit. The hotel has a small rooftop pool, though it's shallow and resembles a heated tub. It’s on the same floor as the fitness
center, which sports a handful of up-to-date cardio machines alongside the piping
hot sauna room. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel and there is a computer station as well.
