The Hotel Casino Carrasco is a hotel and casino in Carrasco of Montevideo, Uruguay.
Its construction started in 1912 and finished in 1921, after 9 years work.
For decades it was a landmark of luxury for tourists visiting Montevideo. Because of eventual deterioration of the building, it was closed in the late 1990s.
In 2007 started the bidding for a public contract for its restoration and operation. By the end of 2009, it was finally adjudicated to Carrasco Nobile SA, a consortium led by the Codere Group together with international investors Global Partners and AGG. They designated Sofitel of the French chain Accor as the hotel operator. The hotel re-opened its doors in March 2013

Your composition skills are too good so I assume there was something in the foreground that caused you to crop like this. A perfect process

@digicam I recommend watching the video of the restoration.
I put a link back then.
It is in Spanish, but on YouTube it can be translated.
