A propriedade — La Rochella
La Rochella is a modest three-star perched on the Rambla in the Carrasco neighbourhood, where the Atlantic meets the city. The lobby feels like a calm, slightly dated beachside lounge – terracotta tiles, big windows overlooking the sea, and the smell of salt and coffee. It suits travellers who want a quiet base away from the centre, with no frills but reliable service and a genuine location on the coast.
Crónicas de Montevideo
Montevideo was founded in 1726 by Spanish colonisers to counter Portuguese expansion, growing from a fortress into a busy port city. Its architecture mixes colonial-era buildings, art deco blocks from the 1920s boom, and concrete high-rises from the mid-20th century. Today, it’s a laid-back capital known for its Rambla waterfront, mate-drinking culture, and a blend of European and gaucho traditions. The city has a quiet confidence – no skyscrapers, lots of green space, and a strong left-leaning civic identity.

Guia completo de Montevideo →Melhores meses
November and March: warm but not hot, low humidity, fewer tourists than January; December is lovely but pricier.
Peak / Festival Surge
January is peak: summer holidays and the Carnival season kick off, with hotel prices rising 30-50%. The main event is the Desfile de Llamadas (candombe parade) in late January.
Orçamento da temporada
April and October: 15-20% cheaper rooms, mild weather (18-22°C), and clear skies for walking the Rambla without the crowds.
Tempo e embalagem
Montevideo’s climate is famously fickle – four seasons in a day is normal, especially in winter. Pack a waterproof windbreaker and layers: a thin merino top under a fleece works for June’s 8-15°C range.

🔊 Noise notes
Guests can expect some street noise from the 21 de Setiembre street, which is a relatively busy street in the Punta Carretas area. The hotel's proximity to the 'Estacionamiento Punta Carretas' car park may also result in occasional noise from cars and pedestrians.
Insider tips
Be aware that the hotel does not have on-site parking, so it's essential to factor in the cost of parking at the nearby Estacionamiento Punta Carretas (400 UYU per 24h). When checking in, consider requesting a room on a higher floor, as the lift can be a bit slow, and the stairs-only sections are not an option. This may help ensure a smoother and more efficient check-in process.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
