The dashing good looks of Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel, Iguassu Falls, an ice-cream pink estate, are trumped only by the breathtaking natural wonder of its setting.

It is the only hotel inside Brazil's Iguacu National Park and from its restaurant terrace you can savor a refreshing caipirinha while watching the sun set behind the cascading froth of Iguassu Falls.

Inside, the marble and dark-wood interior is endlessly elegant; out the back you’ll find pristinely manicured gardens brimming with exotic trees and a brilliant-blue, deep-water swimming pool staffed by pool attendants who seem to know just when you're ready for another fresh coconut water.
