Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel sits inside Iguacu National Park beside the falls at Foz do Iguacu, the only hotel within the Brazilian park, next to the Atlantic Forest, about 30 minutes from the airport. It has 176 rooms and suites, including two signature suites, in a Portuguese-colonial style of tropical charm and old-world elegance. Dining spans the creative regional Brazilian fine dining of Restaurant Y with its terrace, the casual Brazilian Ipe with a poolside barbecue, the falls-view Y Bar and the Bar Taroba, with tower sunset drinks, picnics and a private gazebo dinner.
There is the Cataratas Spa drawing on Guarani traditions, a fitness centre, a heated outdoor pool and tennis courts. The great draw is exclusive early and late crowd-free access to the falls, alongside Macuco Safari, river rafting, a helicopter tour, birdwatching and a full-moon walk. Part of Belmond, it suits nature and adventure travellers, couples, honeymooners and families who want exclusive falls access with fine dining and comfort.
