Rio de Janeiro - RJ

What to say about this city? I guess is one of the Brazilian spots, as well as Amazon. I know Rio since 1979, a lot of time. In the last years, I stayed at Copacabana, but also the Downtown too.

This one is very nice. Cheap and good. The problem is that is difficult to make a reservation, due to high demand. Very well located in Copacabana Beach and an excellent infra-structure.

Hotel Sesc Copacabana

It is very well located in Copacabana Beach, a tourist region. Close to the beach, bars, and good public transport. I guess the rooms are small, but comfortable.

Hotel Atlântico Travel – O Hotel Atlantico Travel Copacabana é uma ótima ...

This one is located in Rio Downtown Region, more useful if you are going to the city for business.
It has a direct public transport connection with Santos Dumont Airport.
It is a cheap and simple place, honest prices.

Manaus, Amazonas (AM)

Manaus is the capital of Amazon State. I know Manaus since 2006.

This hotel is located close to 3 shopping centers and also it is not so far from Manaus downtown.
The hotel is cheap and simple, but good, Accor Ibis Budget standards.

São Paulo - SP

São Paulo is the biggest Brazilian city. I was born and lived there for 35 years. Today I usually go at least once a year, to meet friends. These are the hotels I usually stay there.

The great advantage of this place is that it is located on other side of Congonhas airport avenue, you just have to cross it, no way to loose you flight.
Hotel is nice, medium priced, very comfortable, good breakfast.
If you need to eat, there is an excellent restaurant/bar across the street (Boteco 737).

Hotel Pousada dos Anjos - João Pessoa

Teresina, Piauí (PI)

Teresina is not a Brazilian tourist place, but it is a commercial center of its region. Be prepared for the high temperatures. Despite this, the city has a nice nightlife and good places to visit.

I stayed at this hotel in an "out of season Carnival" that happens October in Teresina.
It is located close to the rivers, very nice and comfortable.
It is also close to Fatima neighborhood, where the nightlife happens.

Palácio do Rio Hotel - Teresina

Ibis Teresina is located close to Teresina downtown.
It follows the same Accor standards.
As Teresina is not so big city, it has an easy access to other parts of the city.
