I have always thought Montevideo is one of the most underrated LGBTQ+ cities in South America - Uruguay was the first country on the continent to legalize same-sex marriage in 2013, and the welcome you get in Montevideo reflects that. The three gay hotels in Montevideo our community books most are Quijano Hotel - Aparts & Suites, Esplendor by Wyndham Montevideo Cervantes, and Circus Hotel Montevideo - a range of styles from boutique suites to a Wyndham brand hotel to a design property. Montevideo is also the gateway to the Buenos Aires region (2-3h by ferry). For the best local knowledge, booking through misterb&b is always recommended. 🏳️🌈
