The Hotel das Cataratas is located inside the Igua?u National Park, in Foz do Igua?u, and is the only Hotel within the Park facing the world famous Iguacu Falls. With its attractive architectural lines in the Portuguese colonial style the Hotel stands out as one of the most beautiful buildings in the region. Its privileged location, in harmony with nature, means the visitor enjoys one of the richest experiences possible. As well as the amazing view of the falls the Brazil/Argentina border can also be seen. Guests are constantly reminded of the proximity of the falls by the ever-present sound of the water and by the mist. This elegant Colonial-style hotel offers 195 rooms and suites, well equipped to meet the needs of any traveler. The Hotel das Cataratas has two restaurants: the Ipe Bar & Grill, next to the swimming pool and the Itaipu Restaurant which boasts a terrace. Both restaurants serve international as well as local cuisine. There are numerous local and speciality dishes, based on the eclectic population of the Igua?u region, and their range of culinary influences. In the middle of The Hotel das Cataratas there is a large swimming pool. The hotel is surrounded by tropical gardens where delicate orchids grow. The area is luscious and the tropical vegetation is abundant because of the water vapour from the falls.
