Pousada das Artes Hotel

The Amazon


This well-located upscale hotel lives up to its name, with artsy rooms and architecture. Both are the handiwork of Graça Arnús, who designed the building and painted the intriguing artwork in the guestrooms and common areas. Accommodations are comfortable and modern; the small pool a welcome bonus. The hotel hosts occasional art expositions.
