Brasília's hotels cater primarily to business executives and government officials. Most hotels, from the upscale resorts to the budget inns, are found in the Hotel Sectors and along Lago Paranoá. For ease in exploring the city, try to stay in Plano Piloto, close to most architectural landmarks, shopping malls, and a number of good restaurants.
West of Brasília, deluxe accommodations are scarcer. In the Pantanal, the fazendas (farms) are quite spartan, but there are a few extremely comfortable jungle lodges with nearly everything you could need.
When you book a room, note that a 10% service charge will be added.
Clinging to the mesa's edge, this small resort may be far from the Chapada dos Guimarães, but it has tremendous views of the cerrado. The sunny rooms are in cabins scattered about the grounds. All rooms have access to verandas with great vistas. Hiking tours and rappelling trips are available.
With decorations inspired by the Kadiweu people's traditional crafts, this eco-lodge has an authentic feel. The rooms—in single-story bungalows—are spacious, with colorful furnishings, tile floors, and wood paneling. Some rooms have good views of the extensive gardens and the nearby forest-covered hills. The restaurant serves international fare, but local fish is always available. Tours to the region's attractions can be arranged through the on-site travel agency. The resort also has swimming pools, tennis courts, game rooms, and a lake for fishing. Rates include dinner.
