Brasília Palace Hotel

Design- well maintained mid-century modern architecture at its finest. Furniture matches the era, simple/ less is more elegance. Amazing use of materials. Peacocks 🦚 run rampant on the grounds alongside chickens, geese, and a family of capybaras by the lake. Mangos 🥭, avocados 🥑 and limes 🍋‍🟩 fall from the trees on the property and are edible. Oscars restaurant and staff is good as well, but did venture next door to the hideous golden tulip for some steaks and snacks.

Staying in an original building designed by Oscar Niemeyer with a view of the lake, lived up to our high expectations, and being neighbours with the Alvorado Palace and the Museum of Fine Art added to our excitement. Having capibara, peacocks and burrowing owls in the grounds was an added bonus. Wide range of food at breakfast - including our first soya milk after a month in Brazil, and great dinners. Staff went out of their way to be helpful. Bus from outside the hotel goes into the centre of town past all major buildings of interest.

The building from an architectural point of view. The room, spacious and quiet. The hotel is far away from the city forcing clients to hire taxis or rent cars.

Everything! The hotel is beautiful, and its architecture reflects Brasília’s design vision. It offers the experience of staying in a building designed by Oscar Niemeyer and inspired by the Plano Piloto, surrounded by nature, wildlife, and the lake, all while enjoying the comfort of a top-tier hotel. It is my favorite hotel in the city. Additionally, it is the BEST breakfast and the pool is amazing.

The architecture is just incredible. To stay in such a stunningly renovated Niemeyer building is really special. The service is very sweet and kind. The swimming pool is huge and pool service great.
