Casa Zinc

Near Punta del Este, Uruguay

Kids

From 1 Feb-21 Dec, children of all ages are welcome, but from 22 Dec-31 Jan (peak and high season), only 7+ year olds are allowed. This works well, though. February and March are more tranquil times to take children to La Barra, when the party season has dwindled out, and children can have fun on bikes and horses, and play on the beach. Extra beds can be added to most rooms, but there are no baby cots.

  • Best for: Children (4-12 years)
  • Family friendly accommodation: Back to School is a triple room. Diseño, Back to School and Biblioteca can all fit 1 extra bed; Arquitecto can fit 2 extra beds.
  • Babysitting: Available by arrangement.
Save to favouritesPrintMailCasa ZincIt takes a serious design guru to make rusty banisters and old sofas look cool. And design guru is exactly what Casa Zinc owner Aaron Hojman is: he has cleverly filled his homely posada - which started off as a showroom for his wonderful antique shop down the road - with tasteful vintage finds from Uruguay and beyond, transforming a building full of random odds and sods into one of the hippest places to stay on Uruguay’s exclusive east coast. From the outside, Casa Zinc attracts attention with its depot-style corrugated iron walls and distressed siding. Once inside, things get a whole lot prettier with the gravel courtyard and its grand olive tree, iron tables and Art Nouveau chairs. Light pours into tall salvaged windows, and the sweet scent of lavender plants wafts into the communal breakfast room. Hojman has a bit of an obsession with antique globes, which line the mantelpieces and bookshelves, as do old siphon bottles and an impressive collection of vintage dictionaries. Best of all are the the 6 [r:UR008:guest rooms], light-filled and lovely, with vintage laboratory lamps, iron bathtubs and old desks.
