The 168-room Hilton Garden Inn Montevideo, opening in late 2014, will be Hilton Worldwide's first managed property in Uruguay.
The hotel will form part of the Montevideo Shopping Center, said to be Uruguay's first shopping mall, and will be across from the World Trade Center and 20 minutes from the airport.
Hilton Worldwide has one franchised property in Uruguay, the Conrad Punta del Este.
