Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel, Iguassu Falls

This was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had! The place is gorgeous, the location is perfect, and the service was incredible. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff made us feel special, welcome, and took care of everything we needed. The concierge handled all our excursions and made everything so easy. The restaurants were amazing and we always left feeling satisfied. If I had to complain, it’s that they don’t seem to have more stuff with their awesome logo. But hey, if you’re planning to visit the falls, this is the only place to stay. Oh, and Edgar and Andre were amazing guides! They both had so much knowledge and information about the park.

We'd had a wonderful stay at this hotel a couple of years ago, but this time was even better. The service was consistently remarkable, employees often anticipating what we might need without our asking for it. Great food, reasonably priced (except for wines). This hotel is perhaps the most expensive we've ever stayed at, yet still a great value given how exceptional it is. And, the location is stunning. Access to the park (trails to waterfalls, etc.) before and after it's open to the public each day was a wonderful perk. This hotel is worth it, and then some!

We had a wonderful day at Iguaçu Falls, both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. Both should be visited, and one of the highlights was staying within the park on the Brazilian side at Hotel das Cataratas!||Built into the albeit high nightly cost is exclusive access to the falls at sunrise and sunset, outside of the park as usual hours. Different from the Argentine side, on the Brazilian side, you have full access to the trails after hours. There are a few additional included amenities that others have mentioned, such as free coffee and cachaça tasting experiences, guided sunrise hike, breakfast, and havaiana flip flops. ||A particular highlight of our stay was Douglas at the Front Desk. We were visiting for my parents 43rd anniversary, and he made particular efforts to make it a very special stay for them. He has such a warm smile and welcoming demeanor, and we will definitely look for him the next time we come! Perhaps by then, the hotel will have him leading a Brazilian martial arts experience!

Top notch super luxury resort, right on the iguacu Falls … literally!|It is absolutely worth the price! You come here to see the falls really for nothing else, and this Hotel sits on top of the fall.|Get up any time and stroll down to see this massive wonder of nature… over and over again till you get an eye full! |Stephanie greeted us wonderfully on arrival and We were upgraded to a sweet, which was beyond fantastic with a warm pool and great interiors||And overwhelming experience… will not do it any other way!||Special shout out to Thayane and Anderson for attending to us so wonderfully at the hotel bar, which itself is a fantastically romantic den

This was, without a doubt, the most luxurious hotel stay I’ve ever experienced. The staff went above and beyond at every turn — warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. The property itself is immaculate and absolutely stunning, with every detail thoughtfully designed. A truly unforgettable stay. I can’t wait to return.

The location is excellent, with the park, allowing you to access the Falls before the park opens. That experience is amazing avoiding the crowds.||||The hotel has an old world colonial feel, excellent restaurants and a great pool. Service is very friendly, though at times a little slow at breakfast.||||It is expensive but I would not have wanted to stay anywhere else; the location and atmosphere make it worth it.

A very good hotel. We stayed in a very generous "colonial style" room, which was enormous and had an enclosed terrace with AC. The staff were good and eventually managed to solve an ongoing issue with wifi access. The food in the restaurant by the pool was great. We had a fantastic sunset drink at the top of the tower, an expensive thing to do as it is hired for your group only, but a memorable place to watch the sun go down over the falls

Staying at Hotel das Cataratas was honestly one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. The location is unbeatable—right inside Iguaçu National Park, with the falls just steps away. Being able to explore them early in the morning or after the park closes, without the crowds, felt magical. The hotel itself is stunning. It has this charming old-world style with Portuguese-inspired touches—hand-painted tiles, rich wood furniture, and beautiful gardens. Everything is so polished and thoughtfully designed, it feels luxurious without being over-the-top. What really made the stay unforgettable, though, was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind and attentive. From the front desk to the restaurant servers, you could tell they truly cared about the guest experience. Every little detail was taken care of, often before we even had to ask. The food was fantastic too—breakfast at Ipê Grill had tons of options (all delicious), and dinner at Itaipu was equally impressive. All in all, Hotel das Cataratas is the perfect mix of natural beauty, classic charm, and exceptional service. I’d go back in a heartbeat.
