Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel

Imagine an early morning visit to the epic Iguaçu Falls before anyone else is here, experiencing one of the world's greatest natural wonders in complete tranquillity. As the only hotel located within the UNESCO-listed Iguaçu National Park, Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel offers guests an extraordinary privilege: exclusive access to the trails leading to the falls before and after the park opens to the public. This unique location allows for unforgettable encounters with the falls, the surrounding rainforest and its remarkable wildlife, all while enjoying the comfort and elegance of Brazil's most iconic nature retreat.

Individually styled with warm pastel tones, handcrafted furnishings and specially commissioned artwork, each room evokes the timeless charm and character of a bygone era while providing every modern comfort.

Feast for the senses

Guests can savour the flavours of Brazil across the hotel's distinctive dining venues. Y Restaurant showcases refined Brazilian cuisine inspired by local ingredients and contemporary culinary techniques, while Ipê offers relaxed dining in a beautiful garden setting. As evening falls, Tarobá Bar provides the perfect place to enjoy signature cocktails and fine wines in an elegant atmosphere, while the Pool Bar serves refreshing drinks and light bites throughout the day.

The hotel's leisure facilities are equally impressive. Guests can relax beside two heated swimming pools, while younger visitors can enjoy a dedicated children's pool. The Cataratas Spa uses responsibly harvested rainforest ingredients and offers a menu of restorative massages, facials and wellness rituals inspired by the natural environment surrounding the hotel.
