Hotel das Cataratas

Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil

• No.76 The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025

Set within the Unesco World Heritage–listed Iguaçu National Park, Hotel das Cataratas brings the effortlessness of a beach-side resort to one of the continent's most biodiverse forests. Restored to its original 1950s hacienda‑style charm, the pastel-pink property is a lesson in historic elegance, offering warm, Latin American hospitality. Its 187 rooms and suites are adorned with florid Portuguese tilework, artisanal textiles and locally commissioned artworks. Some suites come with private plunge pools, while others offer vast balconies with views of the coursing Iguaçú Falls. There's plenty to do between the large heated swimming pool, poolside grill and bar, and tennis courts on site. Or venture out into the National Park on guided rainforest explorations exclusive to hotel guests. Sustainability is central to the hotel's ethos: the property runs its own wastewater treatment plant, uses only renewable energy and supports conservation initiatives protecting native jaguars.
