Hotel Das Cataratas
Iguacu national park, parana. ++55 45 2102-7000, (http://www.hoteldascatara...). stunning location inside the brazilian national park, perched atop the falls. walk to brazilian observation points and porto canoas. traditional luxury hotel with upscale appointments, gourmet dining rooms, outdoor swimming pool and tennis. observation deck on the roof. 203 guest rooms. an unforgettable hotel.
There are only two options to stay inside the park within walking distance to the falls: Sheraton in Argentina and Hotel das Cataratas in Brazil. Both are a bit pricey and take advantage of their position. Some people prefer to stay in either Foz do Iguaçu on the Brazilian side or in Puerto Iguazu in Argentina, where a large number and range of accommodation options can be found. Transport to the falls during daytime is a 20 min bus ride.
Sheraton Internacional Iguazú Resort
Iguazú 3370, ++54 3757-491800, (http://www.starwoodhotels...). amazing location within the argentinian national park, walk to the argentinian falls. newly remodelled pool/ gym/ spa area. otherwise the place feels a bit rundown, but you didn't come here to lounge around inside the hotel anyway. observation deck on the roof. english speaking. 180 rooms. double jungle view/ falls view $305 us/ $365 us per night. if you stay there, pay the extra $50/ night for "falls view" and ask for a 3rd floor room where the view is best. be sure to keep your patio door closed in the early morning, or the monkeys may steal things. also breakfast is included.
