Brasilia Hotels and Accommodation

(Brasilia, Federal District, Brazil)

A vast city with a huge array of accommodation to choose from, hotels in Brasilia are easy to come by, although budget lodging can be rather limited at times.

Visitors planning a weekend trip to Brasilia will be pleased to hear that many hotels cater for businessmen during the week and therefore slash their accommodation rates at the weekend, in order to maintain occupancy levels. This means that even luxury hotels can become surprisingly affordable at the weekend, particularly when booked well ahead of your arrival.

Where to Stay

For budget lodging in Brasilia, a number of options lie directly to the south-west of the city's Eixo Monumental, although some of these hotels are not known for their high standards.

In general, most holiday makers looking for accommodation either stay in the Setor Hoteleiro Norte - SHN (Hotel Sector North) or the Setor Hoteleiro Sul - SHS (Hotel Sector South). Accommodation options within the Setor Hoteleiro Norte area of Brasilia are well-placed, being near to shopping centres and attractions, while those in the Setor Hoteleiro Sul tend to be better value.

At the Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, the tourist office is on hand to help tourists arrange accommodation, organising discounts at the most popular mainstream hotels. In the SHN Quadra 5 area, reliable lodging includes the Aracoara Hotel, the Mercure Brasilia Lider and the Sonesta Hotel.

Close by and still within the Setor Hoteleiro Norte, the Kubitschek Plaza Brasilia Hotel features four-star accommodation, although many travellers agree that it is a little overpriced. In the SHS Quadra 6, good-value hotels include the highly recommended Tryp Convention Brasil 21, which stands alongside the Eixo Monumental and near to the Centro Venancio 2000 shopping centre, part-way between the Parque da Cidade Sarah Kubitschek (City Park) and the Television Tower.
