Laghetto Viverone Moinhos

$$ | Rua Dr. Vale 579, Porto Alegre, 9056-010, Brazil
Part of a local hotel chain, Laghetto Viverone Moinhos is a reasonably priced option for the upmarket Moinhos de Vento neighborhood, with small but functional rooms. A hotel of two halves: the reception is in a converted 1930s mansion, with original parquet floors, a fireplace, and stained-glass windows, while a covered glass walkway connects to the hotel proper behind—a modern tower block with basement convention center and a rooftop pool with sun loungers and sauna. The standard rooms have compact bathrooms but decent-sized desks.

Pros

  • Easy walk to bars and restaurants
  • Rooftop pool
  • Charming period features

Cons

  • Service is minimal
  • Small bathrooms
