Posada Plaza Mayor is located in the very heart of Colonia del Sacramento’s historic district, an area recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding cultural and architectural value. The property operates within a large historic house built in 1860 and an adjoining Portuguese ranch dating back to the 1700s. Both buildings have been carefully preserved to maintain their original colonial essence, allowing guests to experience the authentic character of the city while enjoying a warm and welcoming atmosphere inspired by traditional Spanish courtyards.
The architecture reflects the rich history of Colonia through thick stone walls, wooden beams, tiled roofs and interior patios that provide natural light and tranquility. Every restoration detail respects the spirit of the original structures, blending historic features with modern comforts to ensure a pleasant and memorable stay. The courtyards, filled with greenery and calm, invite guests to relax and disconnect from the pace of everyday life.
As a boutique accommodation, Posada Plaza Mayor offers an intimate and personalized experience. Its privileged location allows visitors to explore the historic quarter on foot, with easy access to the main attractions, cobblestone streets, museums, plazas and the riverfront. More than just a place to stay, the posada is a space where history, comfort and charm come together, offering guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the timeless atmosphere of Colonia del Sacramento while enjoying attentive service and a sense of genuine hospitality.
