Belmond Hotel das Cataratas is the only hotel in Iguassu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Centre in Brazil, and has access to Iguassu Falls.[1]
The two storey Portuguese colonial style building first opened as a hotel in 1958.[2] Two further wings were added in 1971 and 1982.
The hotel comprises a main building which houses the reception area, a bar and restaurant with terrace and an outdoor pool area with a casual restaurant.
The hotel was the first property in Latin America to qualify for the ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification in recognition of its ecological operating policies.[3]
In 2007 the hotel was acquired by Orient-Express Hotels, which embarked on a US$20 million refurbishment programme (completed in 2010). In 2014 the company changed its name to Belmond Ltd. At that time the hotel was renamed Belmond Hotel das Cataratas [4]
