DoubleTree by Hilton Resort Foz do Iguaçu is a large, family-friendly resort on the Brazilian side of the falls, rated five stars. The facilities are the headline: an indoor pool and four outdoor pools, a children's pool, a playground, a spa with massage treatment rooms, free daily breakfast and 24-hour room service. After a day of walking the panoramic trail on the Brazilian side or taking a boat ride to the base of the falls, the pools and the spa make it easy to switch off, and for families with children the playground and children's pool mean that nobody has to go back out for entertainment. The resort format also suits groups and couples who want everything in one place, from breakfast to dinner and a drink by the water. It sits at the splurge end of the Brazilian side without the in-park setting of Belmond, so it works as a polished, practical alternative for people who want resort comfort and flexible access to the border crossing. Check current room categories and what is included in your rate when you book.
Location and getting around
Foz do Iguaçu is the Brazilian gateway to the falls, and the national park entrance, the airport and the town centre are all within a short drive of most hotels in the area. Taxis and ride services are plentiful, and tour operators collect guests from hotels for the Brazilian walkway, the Argentine side, the Itaipu dam and the bird park. Ask the front desk about transfers, early-morning breakfast for park openings and the paperwork you need for crossing the border to Argentina, since requirements depend on your nationality.
Rooms and facilities
Expect spacious, modern rooms in a resort with a large outdoor pool area and a separate indoor pool for cooler or wetter days. Free daily breakfast is a real saving for a family, and 24-hour room service helps when you arrive late from a flight or return tired from a long excursion. The spa offers massage and treatment rooms, and it is worth reserving ahead on busy weekends and holidays. The playground and children's pool are useful for families with younger children, and larger groups should check room categories and connecting rooms.
What to know
This is a resort rather than a walk-to-everything town hotel, so plan how you will get to dinner out or to the falls each day. Brazilian school holidays and long weekends bring crowds and higher rates, and the weather is hot and humid for much of the year, so the pools are not an extra but a core part of the stay.
If you want a view of the falls from your room, look at Belmond or Gran Meliá inside the parks. If you want a budget bed in town, look at the simpler Foz hotels. For families and couples wanting comfort, space and facilities, this is a strong option.
