El Hotel del Prado, Cultural heritage monument in Prado neighborhood, Montevideo, Uruguay
The Hotel del Prado stands as a symmetrical structure with a main hall and two smaller halls, located within the expansive Prado Park grounds.
German architect Jules Knab designed the building after winning a municipal competition in 1908, leading to its official opening on September 15, 1912.
The establishment served as a central gathering place for Montevideo's upper class, featuring activities such as tea ceremonies, casino gaming, and social celebrations.
The renovated facility includes two new 200-square-meter halls on the terrace level, offering space for events with capacity for 800 attendees.
While bearing the name 'hotel', this structure never operated as conventional lodging but was built on the foundation of the former Hotel El Recreo del Prado.
