Sofitel Montevideo Casino Carrasco and Spa occupies a landmark position on Montevideo's Rambla—the promenade running along the Río de la Plata—in the Carrasco neighborhood. The hotel stands at the center of an urban plan designed in the early 20th century by French landscape architects Charles Thays and Édouard André, whose work shaped the entire barrio. Views extend across the river from most public spaces and many guest rooms.
The surrounding Carrasco district has evolved into a vibrant cultural quarter, with the hotel at its center. Rostand Street and an adjoining plaza near the property have become popular pedestrian zones, anchoring the neighborhood's restaurants, designer shops, and boutique galleries.
The hotel contains 116 rooms, including 22 suites, each appointed with a Sofitel MyBed, bathtub, and yoga equipment. Room categories range from Superior Rooms with city views, available with either one queen or two single beds, to Luxury Rooms overlooking the Río de la Plata in the same bed configurations.
Suite options include the Junior Suite, Prestige Suite, Opera Suite, and Imperial Suite, all with one king bed and views of the river, city, or both. A handicap-accessible room is available. All rooms and suites feature the hotel's signature bedding and contemporary comfort touches.
1921 Restaurant and Bar serves as the hotel's main dining venue, named for the year the property opened. The restaurant offers views of the Río de la Plata and Carrasco neighborhood, with a menu built on locally sourced, organic, and zero-carbon ingredients. Breakfast is available as a generous buffet, featuring a signature avocado toast with poached egg.
The Sofitel Bar provides a casual setting for sunsets and evening service, offering tea, international cocktails, and a selection of Uruguayan wines from across the country. The Thays Lounge Bar offers additional bar service within the property.
The So Spa offers wellness and spa treatments, while an in-out pool lined with brown marble reflects the colors of the Río de la Plata. The fitness center contains modern equipment and a dedicated area for relaxation and well-being.
The hotel houses a casino in the basement, providing evening entertainment. The property is also equipped with meeting and event spaces throughout.
The hotel's formal architecture and riverside setting appeal to couples seeking a romantic getaway, with tailored packages that include champagne and in-room breakfast. Families are welcomed through options such as adjoining rooms and extended checkout times. Business travelers benefit from the dedicated conference facilities and central Rambla location.
Construction of the Hotel Carrasco began in 1912 under architects Gastón Mallet and Jacques Dunant. World War I delayed progress for nine years. The Municipality of Montevideo acquired and completed the work, formally inaugurating the hotel on January 29, 1921. It became an immediate landmark, hosting notable guests including Albert Einstein (1925) and Federico García Lorca (1934).
In 1975 the building was designated a National Historical Heritage site. The hotel closed in 1997 and underwent a comprehensive renovation from 2009 to 2013, formally reopening under Sofitel management on March 7, 2013. The property was the first hotel in Uruguay to achieve single-use plastic-free certification.
