Recife Hotels

Recife is a city on a mission to capture the hearts and minds of new tourists to Brazil and indeed, South America. A vital metropolis of 4 million people, the capital of the state of Pernambuco is a major commercial, economic and cultural hub in Northeast Brazil and a convenient gateway to a phenomenal ensemble of worthwhile destinations nearby. These include the city of Natal, UNESCO World Heritage archipelago of Fernando de Noronha and many fine beach resorts on the South Atlantic coast. Important points of interest in dynamic Recife include the Igreja da Ordem Terceira de São Francisco, Concatedral de São Pedro dos Clérigos, Gilberto Freyre Foundation and Museum of Pernambuco State. One extraordinary, must-see gem is the Historic Centre of the Town of Olinda, a UNESCO World Heritage Site mere minutes from downtown Recife. The Recife and Olinda carnivals both lure tens of thousands of revelers every year.
