Best hotels in Iguazu Falls

A vision in soft pink, the Hotel das Cataratas was built in 1958, and still embodies a certain type of vintage glamour. It also happens to be the only hotel within the Iguaçú National Park, its lush lawns sloping down towards a lookout over the tumbling, roaring falls. Taller than Niagara and wider than Victoria Falls, Cataratas do Iguaçu are a wonder to behold whether it's while exploring rainforest paths or on a speedboat ride to the thunderous base. When you're not marvelling at the falls, dine amongst the palm, mango and apricot trees as toucans shrike overhead, or head to the rainforest spa and harness the healing energies of the falls.

Just ten minutes from Foz do Iguaçu airport, this adults-only retreat proves proximity to the Falls doesn't mean sacrificing tranquillity. Standalone bungalows nestle into native forest where toucans and parrots provide the morning alarm. The Belgian-Brazilian owners created something deliberately intimate – think Canadian lodge aesthetics with Brazilian warmth and Thai-inspired spa touches. That famous three-course breakfast isn't rushed; it's an event that sets the tone for unhurried days. While bigger resorts battle for poolside space, here you'll find two pools that rarely feel crowded, a wine bar that knows its way around South American vintages, and staff who remember your coffee preference after day one.

Located on the main avenue of the city's tourist corridor next to Catuaí Shopping. This hotel is a short drive from Foz do Iguaçu International Airport and the city center. Enjoy their indoor and outdoor pools, tennis court, soccer field, and spa. The famous Iguazu Falls are 25 minutes away.
