Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel, Iguazu Falls

The only residence inside the Brazilian Iguaçu National Park, Hôtel das Cataratas offers rare access to the famous falls. Its pastel-pink, hacienda-style silhouette features semi-open loggias where local craftsmanship blends with the wild surroundings, all arranged around a central pool set in a lush, green courtyard. The common areas exude Portuguese-Brazilian spirit through azulejo tiles and artworks commissioned from local artists that capture the region's flora and fauna. Suites feature frescoes that harmonise with the landscape, alongside artefacts that evoke the history of the place. Perched on a terrace offering an unobstructed view of this UNESCO World Heritage site, Restaurant Y opens up fresh perspectives on local cuisine and classics like the national dish, moqueca fish stew, or braised beef, all accompanied by the soundtrack of whispering waters.
