The first ever historical and luxury hotel of Brazil. Located in the picturesque district of Pelourinho in Salvador, the Pestana Convento do Carmo belongs to the traditional Pousadas de Portugal hotel group. 

Construction began on this friary in 1586, commissioned by the First Order of Carmelite Friars.

Over the centuries, it has been the stage for major historical events and today it is Brazil’s first luxury historic hotel.

Situated in the heart of Salvador de Bahia's Old Town, in the San Antonio Quarter, this beautiful and grand colonial home has been reborn as an exclusive boutique hotel. During the refurbishment process great care was taken to retain an air of authenticity and keep the building's delightful original style.

The suites are spacious, bright and airy with high ceilings – the perfect place to escape to for a cool siesta. Each has a large four-poster bed with white cotton hangings, while colourful cushions in ethnic patterns, stylish lamps and dark wood furniture all conjure up a feeling of ease, relaxation and charm.

From Trip Advisor: "One of the most lovely places we've stayed. And the most relaxing. Very comfortable beds, beautifully furnished, with a lot of attention to detail. We stayed in the Panoramic Suite with fantastic harbour views. There is a lovely infinity pool on the roof. This hotel is a haven of peace. Magnificent breakfast extravaganzas of exotic fruit, everything of the highest..."

A Casa das Portas Velhas

A Casa das Portas Velhas does not have this name by chance, but for presenting a peculiar decoration of ancient doors collected from the ruins of houses from Historic Center of Salvador. We are in a 19th century manor, which was restored to give place to this charming hotel. The doors are here richly used as headboards, ornamenting walls or as mirror frames, and antique door handles and hinges are spread throughout the hotel composing the atmosphere.

The hotel offers 15 suites in English colonial style elegant decoration to its tourists, distributed in two floors served by an elevator. In the rooms of the beautiful manor there is choice among standard, luxury ROOM or the "Porteiro" (porter) master suite, which vary according to size.
