This legendary oceanfront retreat blends timeless Art Deco elegance with modern luxury, offering beautifully appointed rooms and suites with sweeping views of the Atlantic or the hotel’s famed swimming pool. Guests enjoy world-class service, refined accommodations, and an atmosphere that has welcomed celebrities, royalty, and travelers for over a century. The hotel is also home to Mee, a Michelin-starred dining experience where Chef Kazuo Harada presents innovative Pan-Asian cuisine in an intimate and stylish setting, making a stay here as memorable for its culinary excellence as for its storied history.
Set within the lush surroundings of Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel, the only hotel located inside Iguaçu National Park, this iconic pink-walled retreat offers an unmatched front-row seat to the breathtaking Iguazu Falls. Blending 1950s hacienda-style charm with refined Belmond luxury, the hotel features elegantly appointed rooms and suites designed for comfort and immersion in the surrounding rainforest.
Guests can unwind with views of the falls, sip a classic caipirinha at sunset, or enjoy an authentic Brazilian barbecue surrounded by tropical greenery. A heated outdoor pool, tucked within the jungle landscape, offers a serene place to relax between adventures. Exclusive early-morning access to the falls and thoughtfully curated experiences reveal Iguazu in its most awe-inspiring light. Here, where the sound of nature surrounds you at every turn, paradise is both immersive and unforgettable.
