We offer 10 suites, each with its own private bathroom. Each room has a unique design and is equipped with a SMART TV, inverter air conditioning, a desk with a small safe, and a minibar stocked with mineral water and an electric kettle with coffee and a variety of teas.

HISTORY

Located in the city's historic district, inside a 1927 building, this architectural gem is a classic example of Montevideo's beautiful architecture from the early 20th century.

The entire building was restored in 2016.

how to get there

All flights arrive at Carrasco International Airport (MVD), located on the other side of the city. The best way to get to the Old City is by Uber, a 30-45 minute ride depending on traffic.

All buses arrive at the Tres Cruces Terminal. Taking an UBER to Ciudad Vieja should take between 8 and 10 minutes, depending on traffic.

Arriving by car from Colonia, you will enter the city via Route 1. Drive to the "Puerto" (Port) and go up Colon Street to the Sarandí Pedestrian Street.
Arriving from the East along the INTERBALNEARIA ROUTE, you will skirt the Rambla, passing through the Centre until you reach Ciudad Vieja.

the neighborhood

Fauna is a small oasis strategically located on the main pedestrian street of the Old City and just a few meters walk from the city's main attractions.
The Old City is our historic center, boasting Montevideo's richest and most important architectural heritage. Here you'll find a wide variety of renovated and excellently preserved historic buildings, side by side with others in a state of total disrepair.

It's a unique place, not only recognized for its museums and iconic buildings, but also for the versatility of its people and the diversity of its cultural landscape. Fruit vendors, office workers, and bank employees mingle with cruise ship tourists, who in turn mingle with the Candombe drummers and the neighborhood's residents and locals. The photo opportunities are endless.

While the cultural offering is immense, so is the culinary offering. From restaurants serving contemporary cuisine from renowned local chefs to the more traditional grills at Mercado del Puerto, cafes with specialty coffee and top-notch pastries. Everything is located just a few blocks from FAUNA.

GETTING AROUND

The best way to get around the neighborhood is by foot. We are located on a pedestrian street, less than two blocks away from the nearest bus stop where you can get to all other parts of the city. An easy and highly recommended alternative is to use Uber or Cabify.

For those wanting to go beyond the Old City, we recommend a walk along the RAMBLA, located just three blocks away. A 35-minute walk along the Río de la Plata will take you to Playa Ramírez. The more adventurous can rent a bicycle and pedal the 20 km of RAMBLA to Carrasco and explore the city's waterfront.
