Don Majestic Hotel is an architecturally distinctive hospitality establishment located in Punta del Este, Uruguay, exemplifying innovative contemporary design through its sculptural form and unique architectural expression. Completed in 2019, this 54-meter-tall structure encompasses 5,900 square meters across 19 floors, featuring 52 meticulously designed accommodations including 48 standard rooms ranging from 32 to 47 square meters and four luxury suites of 81 square meters each. The architectural concept, developed by Natalia Ottonello and Ian Guevara, emphasizes a harmonious interplay between two curved volumes - a primary vertical tower with varying elliptical floor plans and a complementary horizontal volume housing the reception hall and cafeteria. The building's distinctive engineering employs a singular central pillar system, enabling unobstructed panoramic views while supporting its dynamic form. The facade incorporates innovative curved glazing throughout, enhancing the structure's sculptural quality while maximizing natural light penetration. The hotel's comprehensive amenities include both indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, a fitness center, spa facilities, conference spaces, and dining venues, all integrated within its avant-garde architectural framework. This architectural masterpiece, recognized with a Silver A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category, represents a significant achievement in hospitality architecture, combining functional excellence with artistic vision to create an iconic presence in Uruguay's premier resort destination.
