Florianopolis Hotels and Accommodation

(Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil)




Although there is a very good supply of hotels in Florianopolis, budget accommodation is not always readily available and so if you are counting the pennies, it is advisable to plan your trip well ahead and book your lodging before you arrive.

During the high season (late December to early March), the city of Florianopolis is at its busiest and the demand for accommodation therefore increases, along with prices. Outside of this time, Florianopolis hotels are known to greatly reduce their lodging rates, making rooms in many mid-range hotels all the more affordable and tempting.


Where to Stay

A number of the hotels in Florianopolis are famous for their thermal baths and spa facilities, and these tend to be located within the Caldas da Imperatriz area. Just a 40-minute drive to the west, similar hotels present themselves within the neighbouring town of Aguas Mornas.

Budget accommodation is available in Florianopolis in the form of several youth hostels, which reside along streets such as the Rua Duarte Schutel (home of the Floripa Hostel Centro). The Backpackers Sharehouse is especially popular and stands close to the beautiful beachfront of the Barra da Lagoa.

Mid-range lodging includes not only three-star hotels, but also apartment complexes, where you can rent serviced apartments by the week. Popular family hotels in Florianopolis include the Ibis (Avenida Rio Branco), the Joaquina Beach Hotel (Estrada Geral da Joaquina) and the Pousada da Lagoinha, the latter of which offers B&B-style accommodation right next to the Lagoinha Beach. Situated on the Rodovia Princesa Leopoldina, the Plaza Caldas da Imperatriz Resort and Spa boasts views of the Parque da Serra do Tabuleiro mountains, while the Hotel Boutique Villas Del Mar Y Sol on the Rua Jorge Cherem is actually the first ever boutique-style hotel to open in Santa Catarina.

If you fancy splashing out on some luxury accommodation in Florianopolis, then consider the high-rise Intercity Premium on the Avenida Paolo Fontes, and the Sofitel Hotel on the Avenida Rubens Arruda Ramos, where the bay views don't get much better.
