The Best Hotel in Fortaleza, The Northeast

Background Illustration for Hotels

Most hotels are along Avenida Beira-Mar (previously known as Avenida Presidente John Kennedy). Those in the Praia de Iracema are generally less expensive than those along Praia do Mucuripe. Iracema, however, is also a more interesting area to explore, and it's full of trendy restaurants and bars.

Hotel Gran Marquise

$$$ | Av. Beira-Mar 3980, Fortaleza, 60165-121, Brazil Fodor's Choice

Overlooking the beach, this luxury hotel has beautiful rooms; friendly, five-star service; and a prime location that makes it a wonderful base for exploring Fortaleza. Sophisticated amenities include comfortable king-size beds, a rooftop pool, and L’Occitane toiletries. While the hotel boasts three decent restaurants, it's also within strolling distance of some of the city’s top bars and restaurants. Helpful bilingual concierges can book you into one of the sophisticated beach clubs nearby, or organize a day trip out of town. Opt for one of the ocean-view rooms to wake up to a view of the sparkling blue sea.
