Hotel L'Auberge de Punta del Este

Hotel L'Auberge, Cantidad de habitaciones: 36

Esta ubicado a solo 4 Km. del centro y a 200 mts. de la Playa Brava, la mas bonita y extensa de Punta del Este. L'Auberge, con su torre de agua, fue la primera construccion que existio en el Barrio Parque del Golf, que hoy es la zona residencial mas cotizada de Punta del Este. Nuestra intención es ofrecer una opcion de alojamiento diferente, mucho mas calida y personalizada, donde antigüedades y obras de arte conviven con el mas moderno confort. Desde los waffles en el tradicional Salon de Te, el trago o el almuerzo informal en el jardin o la piscina, hasta el mas sofisticado servicio de atencion empresarial, demuestran la diferencia en el trato, el cuidado de las maneras, el culto por el detalle. Somos entusiastas convencidos de que lo mas importante en la hoteleria de hoy, es cultivar "El Arte del Bien Recibir". Con sus mas de cinco decadas de vida, la famosa Torre de Agua de L´Auberge, emerge majestuosa entre el inmenso pinar, y es mudo testigo de la evolucion de un lugar tan clasico como tradicional, su Hotel y Salon de Te, reconocido por un turismo de relevante nivel. Cristina e Ignacio Carrera, son los responsables de que el Hotel se convirtiera en la vedette del balneario. Tanto las suites, como el resto de las calidas habitaciones, algunas en la torre con indescriptible vista, hacen de esta hermosa y singular construccion un elemento diferencial que marca la identidad de L´Auberge y del Barrio Parque de Golf. El proyecto original fue del Arq. Arturo Dubourg y la direccion de obra del Arq. Guillermo Rodríguez Reborati. La primera gran ampliacion fue obra del Arq. Jorge Varela Lopez, y la mayor de todas, en los años 1994 y 1998, del Arq. Eduardo Álvarez. El Salón de Té, impecable hasta en los minimos detalles, las habitaciones decoradas con elegante estilo europeo, una sala de Congresos equipada con los mas sofisticados equipos, y un servicio gastronomico de creciente nivel, conforman parte de nuestra inigualable propuesta.

Notes on how to live Punta.

Summer In Punta Del Este

Returning to Punta Del Este, after being there during the winter, was like returning to a ghost-town and finding it filled with people laughing, drinking, sunning, and enjoying every moment.

The wealthy set from all over South America and the world descend on Punta Del Este immediately after Christmas and the party lasts for a few months.

Punta Del Este reminds me of South Beach in Miami, with tall buildings overlooking the beaches. And, like South Beach, it is filled with beautiful Latin people (be sure to learn some Spanish before you go so that you can talk to all of them!).

Word on the streets in Uruguay was that the Brazilians take over Punta Del Este during the first 15 days of the season (December 26-Jan 10) and, after that, you will find predominantly Argentineans. There are also Uruguayans of course but many prefer the more tranquil and reasonably-priced beaches of Cabo Polonio, Rocha, and Punta Del Diablo.

But the place to see and be seen is Punta Del Este. Don’t believe me, believe E!

The Beaches in Punta Del Este

As a peninsula, Punta Del Este offers two types of beaches: the bay side and the ocean facing side. You will often hear people refer to Playa Mansa (bayside) and Playa Brava (oceanside). The bayside offers a bit more tranquility with less wind and waves. The beaches on the ocean side are more expansive and there is plenty of room to move, play football (or futbol), and roam around looking at the various sites.

Often, you will hear people say, “Meet us at the beach at stop 16.” All the beaches are numbered, numbers which you can see along the street, and many people have their favorite number.

Bikini Beach in Punta Del Este

Whoever woefully said, “today’s bikinis don’t leave much to the imagination” is woefully short of imagination.

After seeing the bikinis in Bikini Beach just outside of Punta Del Este, I have nothing but positive reviews of the South American style bikini. The way it hugs the curves of a woman and exhibits their fine physique certainly doesn’t leave me short of imagination. Au Contraire–it feeds the imagination.

Any visit to Punta Del Este is incomplete without a visit to Bikini Beach.

Nightlife In Punta Del Este

The local catchphrase: “There’s always time to sleep in the winter!”

If you are from North America, or Europe, and you are reading this: Be Prepared. Nightlife in Punta Del Este truly begins at about 2am or later.

I remember asking some friends in Uruguay: “If you go out at 2am, and arrive home at 8 or 9 in the morning, how do you enjoy the beach during the day?”

“Well,” came the collective response, “we still go to the beach everyday.”

This is true. However, I realized the term day has significant elasticity here. To many in Punta Del Este, the beach day begins at about 2 or 3pm in the afternoon. If you are an early riser, you will be heading out the door in the morning before most party-goers get home from their evening.

Don’t believe me?

One night we were going out to the clubs and my friend said, “oh, I forgot my sunglasses.” Sunglasses at the bar? Is your Future So Bright You Have to Wear Shades? No! The hipsters all know that they’ll be leaving the clubs when the sun is coming out and so they’ll need their sunglasses for the homeward journey.

For many, nightlife in Punta Del Este does not take place in Punta Del Este; nightlife happens in La Barra, a small town about 10-15 minutes outside of Punta Del Este filled with many different bars and discos. If you don’t have a car, you can get there by bus. Or, if you are female, there are many cars who will eagerly escort you from Punta Del Este to La Barra. Just look your finest because the competition is fierce.

My friends and I ventured out in Punta Del Este many times as well. There are many bars in the port area and along the beaches that are packed with beautiful people every night. View the links below for the hot nightspots in either place.

Punta Del Este Sunsets

Since the nightlife continues well into the day, our schedule included many Punta Del Este sunsets. We would wake up to hit the beach during the day (at about 3pm) and then take in the sunsets along Playa Mansa.

After the sunsets at about 9:15, it would be time for a little nap before the nightlife. Napping at 9pm? In your workweek vernacular, you might refer to this as a paradigm shift.

Embrace the shift-it’s well worth it!

From Tablet Hotels - Hotel L'Auberge Punta del Este

El exclusivo destino uruguayo de Punta del Este reune a la flor y nata brasileña y argentina, que acude, en su gran mayoria, a descansar en ostentosos palacios costeros o en grandilocuentes hoteles casino. En cambio, los hoteles rurales de estilo frances son menos frecuentes y a menudo se encuentran aislados del bullicio hotelero de la costa. Ahora bien, cuando hablamos de hoteles rusticos de estilo Tudor habilitados en antiguas torres de agua, solo podemos referirnos al Hotel L’Auberge.

Ubicado en un barrio conocido por el prosaico nombre de Barrio Parque de Golf, el Hotel L'Auberge ofrece un remanso de paz y tranquilidad, es decir, lo mas cercano a una casa de campo bucolica que puede encontrarse en Punta del Este, un lugar atestado de hoteles y clubs maritimos. En cuanto al hotel propiamente dicho, se trata de una hermosa combinación de influencias francesas e inglesas: el edificio original y las habitaciones mas antiguas han sido decorados con el estilo tipico de las casas de campo inglesas, mientras que las habitaciones mas recientes se caracterizan por los suaves tonos pastel de la Provenza francesa.

Independientemente de su estilo, las treinta y seis habitaciones de las que dispone el hotel son elegantes, algunas con jacuzzi, otras con chimenea, y todas ellas equipadas con las comodidades de la vida moderna, como acceso a Internet de alta velocidad. Las habitaciones habilitadas en la torre son, inevitablemente, las mas pequeñas, pero el tamaño se ve compensado por una fuerte y atractiva personalidad, mientras que las suites son espaciosas. El restaurante del hotel es excelente, y el servicio de te se ha convertido en un rito obligado en Punta del Este; conviene que los golfistas se planifiquen bien el partido para no perderse el exquisito te con waffles de media tarde.

Traveling to South America?

Punta del Este, Uruguay, offers a dramatic change from Cape Horn or the Falkland Islands. Vineyards and beaches, the vacation homes of international jet-setters, palm trees and world class yachts characterize this sunny locale. The port for Montevideo/Punta del Este is within walking distance of Plaza Constitucion where inexpensive microbus tours can be arranged. There is also a thriving street market for leather goods and handicrafts on Saturdays. From here, it is a quick drive to beautiful beaches. Uruguay is known as the "Switzerland of the Americas" for its stable democracy, small size and appeal to foreign millionaires.
