The Four Points by Sheraton Montevideo stands on Calle Ejido in Centro, the central district that links the old town to the city's main avenue, Avenida 18 de Julio. It is a good choice for visitors who want a full-service hotel close to the sights without paying the price of the most luxurious addresses. The facilities are generous for the category: both an indoor and an outdoor pool with sun loungers, a gym with fitness classes, a sauna or steam room, spa services including massage, facials and manicures, a restaurant, a café and two bars. Rooms are air-conditioned, with free Wi-Fi, and there is a garden and a lobby fireplace that give the public areas a warm feel. A 24-hour business centre makes it popular with work travellers, while the pools and spa make it just as comfortable for leisure guests who want a restful base. The location in the entertainment and business district puts theatres, shops, cafés and restaurants within a short walk, and Plaza Independencia is around a kilometre away.
Location and getting around
Centro is the practical heart of Montevideo. From the hotel you can walk toward Plaza Independencia and the gateway to Ciudad Vieja in roughly fifteen minutes, passing shops, bookstalls and cafés on the way, and the Teatro Solís is close to the end of that walk.
The beach districts of Pocitos and Punta Carretas are a short taxi ride away, and buses on Avenida 18 de Julio connect the centre in several directions. The streets around the hotel are busy and urban rather than leafy, so choose it for convenience rather than for peace.
Rooms and facilities
The hotel is part of a well-known international chain, and rooms follow the familiar standard of comfortable beds, air conditioning, desk space and in-room Wi-Fi. The outdoor pool is best in the warm months, from late spring to early autumn, while the indoor pool and sauna keep the hotel comfortable year-round.
Breakfast is cooked to order and typically charged separately, so check your rate. An airport shuttle is available for an extra charge, and self-parking is offered at a daily rate, which helps if you plan to rent a car for wine country or the coast.
Who it suits
Business travellers, couples and first-time visitors who want a central base with proper facilities, and families who value having a pool. It is less suited to travellers who want a quiet residential setting or a hotel directly on the beach, since the Rambla is some distance away. Good to know: the centre is lively by day but quieter at night on some streets, so use taxis for late dinners, and book early for the summer season.
For a calmer room, ask for one away from the street or on a higher floor, and check the airport shuttle price and times before relying on it.
