Don Majestic
Don Majestic is a hotel in Punta del Este, Uruguay. The building has a sculptural curved form inspired by the curves of nature. Two curved volumes shape the design.

The hotel is 54 metres tall and has 19 floors and 52 rooms. A single central pillar in the core supports the structure and allows open views. Curved glass covers the whole facade.
