If you're looking for a good hotel in Vitória, this is it. I stayed here during a three-day weekend…read morewhen I was in town for business, a friend shared the room with me, so we opted for deluxe room with the two twin-sized beds, which was surprisingly one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've slept in.
The lobby area was clean, organized, and the staff very professional. My first impression of the room was that it was basic, and not very comfortable. Maybe it was a bad first impression, and I'm not sure why I had it, because later on the room grew on me. It had a small chair, desk, TV, radio, closet with safe, and the bathroom had a large shower. The maids did a good job of cleaning and brought complimentary water every day.
There is a pool and gym on the top floor, as well as a sauna. You can buy drinks up there, but whether or not a person is there to sell them to you is hit or miss. The gym had modern equipment and looked like it was well maintained.
Breakfast was included in my room rate, and was definitely worth it. They have a large buffet with fruits, pastries, scrambled eggs, bacon, etc. I made sure to go every day.
The elevator system has an added layer of security - you need your room key to go anywhere, and it will only let you to the pool and your own floor, so there's no need to worry about strangers coming in.
The other two perks are: 1. The view, which was spectacular because you can see almost all of the bay out to the ocean, including Praia do Canto and Ilha do Frade. 2.The location. The hotel is located on a quiet street in the Praia do Canto neighborhood, a two-minute walk from the beach and a jogging/bicycle track, and lots of small restaurants nearby (mostly behind the hotel). There were always taxis out front, so it would be very easy to get a ride anywhere in Vitória.
If/when I go back, I will stay here again.
