Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel

Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil

JungleHistoric

Built in 1958, Hotel das Cataratas stands inside Brazil’s Iguaçu National Park, surrounded by Atlantic Forest on the Brazilian side of the falls. This substantial historic hotel is the park’s only hotel, and its pale-pink, Portuguese-colonial-style building gives it a distinct presence in the forest. Its defining advantage is not simply proximity: hotel guests can reach the falls before or after public visiting hours, when the park’s day-visitor crowds are not there.
