Defined as “a woman of the world” by some of his relatives, as he may have learned THE NATION, Jauregui, a computer engineer and yoga lover, used to spend half the year in Texaswhere he had studied. He had planned to return to Uruguay, from where he had left in April, at the end of November. He used to live during the Uruguayan low season in the United States, where his brother Jorge resides.
While returning to the bordering country, where he had made commercial roots long ago, with the beginning of the high season. She owned the boutique hotel, easterly breezesin The stonethe Uruguayan resort on the coast of the department of Rocha, located about 230 kilometers from Montevideo.
“Laura was a very valuable woman for La Pedrera. She arrived here in 2008 and, soon after, she bought an old dilapidated hotel and transformed it into a marvel”, recalled one of her friends from that Uruguayan town who preferred not to give her name.
Breezes came to The New York Timesa 2011, a a note that defined Rocha as the next “bohemian chic hideaway” in South America. There they relate that Jaureguí bought the hotel and renovated its 14 rooms, where televisions and telephones are purposely missing, with a “mixture of mid-century finds and custom-made rattan furniture.”
“The Uruguayan coast has always been very popular and it has progressively moved to the north,” Jauregui said at the time, expressing surprise at the growth of the place after a year of opening, adding that they had exhausted the reserves for the entire season, from Christmas to Carnival.
Years later, the hotel would be chosen by this means as one of the 52 places to visit in 2014. “A 14-room clifftop inn restored by an Argentine tech mogul, without compromising the area’s natural charms: miles of undeveloped beach, rolling pastures, and a culture where gauchos and fishermen with fishing boats wood are not just accessories”, they described.
He also got his mention in the Conde Nast Traveler, the magazine specialized in luxury tourism, in which they highlighted Jauregui’s risk of betting on a different and almost metropolitan concept in a rural setting. “But it was a success from day one,” she said. And she recounted:It has been a difficult job, very hard and a fantastic experience. But I’ve already done it and it’s time to move on”.
As this medium learned, one of his future projects was to transform this hotel into luxury apartments.
Jauregui had no children, he lived with his two cats Ricardo and Enrique, about 7 kilometers from La Pedrera, in the San Antonio resort, about 500 meters from the sea.
“In 2020, as a result of the pandemic, he stayed here all year and dedicated himself to touring the entire department on a bicycle. He was that kind of person, indefatigable, curious, enthusiastic. A horror that it has gone like this. here we are in shocksaid her friend to THE NATION. And he described it:Very intelligent, very hard-working and very enterprising, she had inexhaustible energy. It’s a huge loss to our community.”.
