Where to Stay In Iguazú Falls, Argentina and Brazil Sides

With more than 250 waterfalls and an impressive flow of water from the Iguazu River, we tell you where to stay in Iguazu Falls.

The Iguazu Falls are one of the great wonders of the world, located on the border between Argentina and Brazil.

Currently there are only two hotels located next to the Iguazu Falls and inside the national park, one on the Argentine side and the other on the Brazilian side. Although the price is not cheap, since they are five-star accommodations, if you can afford it, it is highly recommended since the view of the falls from the hotel and listening to the water flow is priceless.

The Gran Melia Iguazu is the hotel located on the Argentine side and constitutes a large complex in itself, with impressive views of the falls. It has 3 restaurants and 4 bars inside, a spa area and a large swimming pool surrounded by a green garden. In many of the rooms the balconies have a stunning view of the falls, where you can hear the force of the water. A dream come true!

On the Brazilian side, the Hotel das Cataratas is the one located next to the waterfalls. Decorated with mosaics and period furniture in the Portuguese style, it has 2 restaurants, a bar and a swimming pool.

In addition, it has the advantage of visiting the waterfalls outside the usual visiting hours, with few people around you.
