Radisson Montevideo Victoria Plaza is a luxury hotel in Uraguay’s capital Montevideo. As a smart and slick Radisson sibling, the hotel delivers all the fancy facilities you’d expect with ingratiating, unstuffy service. A great option for those who want to be in the centre of things, the hotel is located on main square Plaza Indepencia and is a short walk from the attractive Old City, the commercial district and the city’s best beaches.

The facilities

Plenty of facilities, super-convenient for those on the go: most exciting is the adjoining Casino Victoria, but if you want to get back in the slow lane the Spa Victoria offers an indoor swimming pool, sauna, gym and beauty treatments.

Dine in style to panoramic views at the 25th-floor Restaurante Arcadia, and tuck in to international fare with a Uruguayan twist: most popular is the rack of lamb with mint and garlic. If you’re after coffee or a snack, the cosy lobby Bridge Bar is just the ticket.

The rooms

245 rooms are smart and uniform, most with fantastic bird’s-eye views of La Plata River, Harbour Bay and the city. All rooms come complete with flatscreen TVs, internet connections and mini-bars.
