FAUNA Montevideo

My husband and I spent 9 nights at Fauna. Without question this was the best hotel experience of our lives. The hotel’s décor is thoughtfully curated and looks as though mid-century modern had a brief fling with art deco. Our room was spotlessly clean, and enormously comfortable. The bathroom was lovely, with enough light and mirrors to allow a woman to apply makeup without squinting. What catapulted our stay into the exceptional was the warmth and hospitality shown by our host Jeronimo. His knowledge and thoughtful recommendations of where to eat, where to go, and what to do were perfect. When we will return to Montevideo, I know where we’ll be staying!

WOW!!! What an amazing stay!! I stayed here for a majority of my time in MVD. On my late night arrival Eduardo greeted me outside the hotel and ensured everything for a seamless check-in. He’s even a great map drawer. The space is SO THOUGHTFULLY curated. The vibe is great. Common area has local liqueurs available to guests at anytime (also fruits too!). The room was very clean. Loved the minimalist vibe. The next day, I met Jeronimo and this guy is amazing! He literally assisted me with any and every question I had. He also set me up with an amazing reservation at Primuseum on Sunday where there were very little options for eating. He provided so many tips and information about Uruguay. The entire staff was available by WhatsApp 24/7. They readily answered any questions I had. This was the best stay and as someone who works in hospitality (airline and hotel), I highly recommend this hotel. This is the place if you are in Montevideo. It’s also near everything along with the best restaurants in the city. STAY HERE!

From the warm welcome to the unique furnishings, from the complimentary drinks trolley to the location (try Sometimes Sunday or Federación around the corner for brunch), from the comfort to the availability of Prime and Netflix, this guesthouse was one of our best stays in South America

The Fauna Hotel is a jewel in Ciudad Vieja. It is a historic building remodeled with exquisite taste by its owners (an architect and an antique furniture dealer). They utilize well preserved original pieces from the 50’s. The remodeling project made excellent use of natural illumination, marble, and wood. The facilites are completely modern, comfortable, and spotless. In addition, the hotel is well situated near restaurants, historic attractions, the port, and the rambla. It is truly the place to stay in Montevideo.
