Surrounded by lush rainforest, this pastel-pink hideaway grants exclusive access to the park—minus the crowds. Seeing the falls in near solitude is magical, but we offer more than just a great location. Step through our doors into a world of understated luxury. Soak up the jungle chorus while you float in the pool, stroll gardens bejewelled with orchids and sip caipirinhas as the sun goes down. Embark on the ultimate adventure at South America's first and only Forbes Five Star hotel, and you’ll never want to leave.

This is truly a bucket list hotel! Having private access to Iguazu Falls every morning and evening was absolutely magical. Having this access from a truly luxurious hotel was even better. We had a nearly perfect stay here and enjoyed the warm pool and tennis courts as well as all of the dining outlets. My kids loved the lavish Ipe dinner buffet! Service was excellent all around and I loved how the hotel offered daily activities and treats such as the nightly free cocktail hour in front of the falls or daily cake in the lobby. Rooms were very well appointed and had a true sense of place. I struggle to find any suggestions for improvement. It was a true pleasure to stay here!

The hotel is beautiful and this is the place to stay as you are staying in the park and have access to the falls on the Brasilian side before it opens to the public. The check in was smooth and I would really recommend to use the Concierge service which is excellent! One tip if you want to save 15% on the excursions is to pay all the excursions directly to the concierge in stead of when you check out and pay it on the bill with your room and meals. We can really recommend both the winetasting and the Y restaurant at the hotel. The reason for giving 4 stars is that our deluxe room was outdated and very small which gave us a more like a 4 star hotel feeling which was supported by the feeling we got in the IPE restaurant with buffet every evening (you can also order ala carte but the ambience us the same).

Try to book a room near the falls and do not miss the Y restaurant, the 2 star Michelin Chef is excelent

The Cataratas Belmond is an excellent 5 star hotel in the best location. You can literally walk over to the Falls and experience a wonderful sunset every evening. Staff go above and beyond and the food is superb. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Fantastic! Have been to the Falls twice before but stayed outside of the park. My mistake! The proximity, extra when the park is closed, and lack of needed transportation to travel from the Falls and to the town really makes a difference

We stayed at Hotel Cataratas at the end of our 17 days in Brazil. A perfect ending. Our room was charming and comfortable, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel neglected to make arrangements for our transport from the airport (which was included in our LL package), but they made up for the error many times over during our stay, including a complementary guide when we visited the Iguassu Falls on the Argentina side. The location of the hotel also provides access to the viewing trails for the falls during hours when the park is closed to other tourist. A real bonus that is not available to those staying in the hotel in the Argentinian park. Next time I stay at Hotel Cataratas I'll coordinate my trip with a full moon!
