Carrasco Uruguay
Welcome to Carrasco Uruguay
The design of the Carrasco neighborhood, as well as its main postcard, the Hotel Casino Carrasco, was a private project initiated by a group of pioneers, the spa Balneario de Carrasco, which formed another company - Sociedad Hotel Casino Carrasco-, specifically for construction of the hotel.
It was the first case in Uruguayan history of urban planning and design of a whole neighborhood exclusively addressed by private initiative. The main bulwark of that dream was the great Hotel Casino Carrasco, monumental construction in the style of the luxurious hotels that dazzled Alfredo Arocena -the driving force behind the project-, in Europe, where he went to find inspiration.
In 1912 the construction of the hotel began, based on the project of the French architects Dunant and Mallet, with the subsequent collaboration of the Uruguayan Felipe Elena.
The Intendancy continued the work, which concluded in 1921 and the building, surrounded by gardens and sculptures in Carrara marble, would become a place of meeting and celebration of the affluent society. Located in front of the sea, it counted on rooms of celebrations, of game, great dining room, as well as covered and outdoor terraces. A hierarchy nestled away from the bustling city of the 20 years.
When you visit Uruguay and from Airport to Montevideo City you will pass this Carrasco.
It is a beautiful building on the street and infront of the hotel is a nice beach. The most of city in uruguay where most of people would like to enjoy they time.
