Check availability Official websiteThe hotel occupies a unique position as the only hotel within Iguassu National Park. The Iguassu River, spanning the Brazil–Argentina border, plunges into a vast chasm forming 275 waterfalls. Located on the edge of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, the hotel provides exclusive early and late access to the falls—times when crowds have departed—allowing guests unobstructed views and experiences. This access differentiates the property from day-trip alternatives in nearby Foz do Iguaçu.
