Francis Mallmann's intimate 5-room hotel in the village of Garzón: a converted colonial building with an extraordinary restaurant, the most atmospheric countryside stay in the region and the perfect base for Bodega Garzón and the pastoral Uruguayan interior.
Why We Chose It
Hotel Garzón is one of five rooms in Francis Mallmann's converted colonial building in the village of Garzón — intimate, beautifully decorated, and operating as a genuine village inn rather than a resort. The restaurant is the main event (one of the most renowned open-fire dining experiences in South America), but the rooms are lovely and the setting — a genuine Uruguayan village 45 minutes from José Ignacio — is extraordinary. Recommended for those wanting to experience the pastoral interior of Uruguay rather than the coastal scene. The combination of the hotel, the restaurant, and Bodega Garzón winery nearby makes a perfect two-night stay.
