PB hotel design editorial

Few hotels anywhere on earth share a fence with a UNESCO World Heritage Site quite so literally as Hotel das Cataratas, the only property permitted to sit within the boundaries of Iguaçu National Park on the Brazilian side of the falls. The building dates to 1958, designed in a Portuguese colonial Revival style — terracotta-tiled rooflines, white-rendered facades, and a clocktower anchoring the main wing — set within 1.7 kilometers of private forest that separates the 193-room complex from the wider park. Belmond assumed management in 2006 and undertook a careful restoration that preserved the building's mid-century colonial character while lifting the interior quality to match the extraordinary setting visible from the aerial: a low, spreading compound of red-roofed pavilions arranged around lawns and a circular tiled pool, the horseshoe arc of the falls thundering just beyond the treeline. Inside, the interiors carry the warm materialism of Brazilian colonial tradition — wide-plank hardwood floors in rich ipe and cumaru tones, exposed timber roof trusses with dark stained beams, cane-back chairs, and carved mahogany headboards with foliate detailing. The bar is decorated with hand-illustrated bird-cage motifs referencing the park's extraordinary avifauna, while bolster cushions in bold coral-and-teal botanical prints inject colour without disrupting the room's period confidence. Guest rooms balance linen-toned walls and navy-piped bedding with pendant globe lanterns and louvered French doors opening to forest-facing verandas — a register closer to a well-kept colonial manor than a managed resort.

Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel Reviews

"We travelled as a family of 3 in July 2026 and stayed at the Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas for one night only. To be honest disappointing for us. Having stayed at the Gran Melia on the Argentina side for the previous 3 nights, where we could see the Cataratas across the Iguazu falls and prior to these 4 nights at their same branded hotel Belmond Copacabana Hotel in Rio. So our expectations were high. Firstly check in was fragmented as you have to initially check in at the entry to the park, wait for a bus to turn up and then onward drive to the hotel. Although the hotel itself is beautiful, our room was not the greatest, at the back of the hotel but functional as we hadn't gone fancy for just the one night. Considering how the Belmond Copacabana Hotel had looked after us, wine in the room, gifts etc it wasn't a similar experience at Cataratas. The big letdown for us was we'd booked an early morning pick up by the hotels bus to take us back to the park entrance where our transfer to the airport was waiting and we had this confirmed by the hotel, in a whatsApp message as we needed to catch our flight. When we checked out, there was a bus, but no bus driver and the manager that we spoke to just kept saying that the driver hadn't turned up and basically just shrugged his shoulders and he didn't care, a terrible attitude, it also felt like the other staff hanging around were treating our frustration as a joke. We asked whether anybody else could drive the bus that was waiting there, answer no, we had to wait for the driver.. eventually after about 15 or so minutes another bus turned up, with a driver and then a guy that had been standing outside throughout all of this time, got into the original bus and drove away - you couldn't make it up...! we only just made our flight on time, luckily."

"Driving in with your car is a terrible experience. Hay to wait and park the cars on the muddy road. Not practical at all. All else is good, but that first impression and check out process, back to the muddy road where the car was parkes, just makes the experience average."
