Miami, FL, July 16, 2013 – Interval International, a prominent worldwide provider of vacation services and an operating business of Interval Leisure Group (Nasdaq: IILG), announced the addition of OWN Montevideo, a condo-hotel in the bustling capital city of Uruguay. This property is part of the OWN Hotels Group, known for its sophisticated modern design, personal service, and state-of-the-art technology that enhances the guest experience.
“Located in one of the most desirable areas of the city just blocks from the waterfront, this boutique hotel will offer our members the ideal base from which to enjoy the many nearby attractions,” said Marcos Agostini, Interval’s senior vice president of resort sales and business development for Latin America. “This respected brand is a very welcome addition to our resort network.”
Scheduled for completion next spring, OWN Montevideo will feature 44 suites with views of the Río de la Plata. Each unit will have sleek, minimalist décor that mixes hardwood floors with modern furnishings in bright colors. Among the planned on-site amenities are a restaurant and bar, gym, hot tub, swimming pool, sky deck and outdoor terrace.
“We look forward to entering the shared ownership industry and to the opportunities this product holds in the region,” noted Pierre A. Metrailler, president of Gimbya S.A., developer of the resort. “We chose to work with Interval because of the recognized quality of its resorts and the strategic support its executives have provided us.”
A modern metropolis that is the country’s commercial and political hub, Montevideo is also one of the region’s most important seaports. Tourists from around the world visit this destination because of its beautiful beaches, mix of colonial and modern architecture, upscale shopping centers, gourmet restaurants, theaters, museums, and artisanal markets.
