Brasilia Charm
Certainly a Brasilia experience. It is a gem. Located near the President's Palace the hotel is in a quiet area of the city on the lake. We have stayed at this hotel 3 times now (2018, 2021, 2023) and would recommend. Staff are very friendly, almost all speak Portuguese and English. The hotel is so relaxing, the breakfast is likely the best in Brazil and the pool is lovely to sit back and relax. The hotel is convenient to get anywhere in Brasilia within 10 - 20 minutes. The bathrooms in the rooms are the only disappointment in the hotel, they don't necessarily need to be renovated but the showers need new calking and replace the shower heads.

Good historic hotel. Designed by Oscar Nimeyer. The first one in Brasilia. Architecture and details from 1960s. Renovated about 10 years ago. Good and comfortable stay. Bear in mind there is almost nothing in the area. No convenience stores, no small businesses, the area is generally not walkable. There are presidential palace, art museum, 5 star hotel and a condominium nearby. Good hotel for one night stay to get the sense of architectural history. Staff members are good. Good price/quality/history ratio. Thanks.

Architectural gem
So awesome to stay in this architectural gem! Loved the furniture and the details. Gym was not great--elliptical was broken, no TV remote, weights were not set up, and no water. Room was fine. The room service people were very friendly and nice. Front desk was helpful and breakfast was very good. I would recommend this place.

Step back in time to 1960s Brasília
Delightful retro 1960s style hotel, beautifully renovated and very characterful. The very first hotel to be built in Brasília, according to the plans of the celebrated modernist architect Oscar Niemeyer. The only inconveniences are the location (it is quite far from the central Eixo Monumental), and the fact that the restaurant is closed on Sundays: there is no bar either, so nowhere to get a bite to eat on the premises.

Modernist charm
The hotel, a project by the renowned Brazilian modernist architect Niemeyer, has a lot of charm and elegance. The grounds are very beautiful and spacious, allowing beautiful views of the famous Brasilia´s sky. I was treated with courtesy and felt very safe about cleanliness and COVID protocols. Very happy to see the receptionist waring a N95 mask at checkin. The breakfast is in a open place, with is the safer option as well.

The Brasilia Palace Hotel is a monument to the construction of Brasilia and the incredible work by the "candangos" who came here from all over Brasil. The hotel has been fully renovated. The facilities are comfortable but not luxurious, which fits well with its historical theme. The restaurant Oscar is excellent and certainly a hidden jewel. Don't miss having dinner while listening to live music. The staff is courteous and always ready to help.

Comfy stay in a historic hotel
I’m glad we stayed at the Brasilia Palace to go back in time and relive the greatest days of this historic place. Well located, very quiet, spacious and modern. There are two massive rubber trees that will impress anyone. We went for a nice ride along the lake and President’s House on the hotels provided bicycles.

Excellent location, clean hotel but not luxury
Excellent location near the lake and near the Presidential Palace/residence. The location is the best thing about this hotel. The hotel is clean yet very simple. This hotel does not compare to luxury hotels in other resort areas. Everything is easily accessible by Uber and cheap so getting around is easy with regard to seeing all the architectural sites.

This is an architectural gem, designed by Niemeyer as part of the original plan for Brasilia. Built in the early 1960s, it was rebuilt/faithfully restored in the early 2000's after a fire. For many years, all of the important folks coming to Brasilia (JFK, etc.), would stay here. In addition to being important architecturally, it's a very comfortable 1st class hotel, and it's reasonably priced. The restaurants and food are good, the staff is accommodating, the rooms are simple and lovely, the grounds are well maintained and lead directly down to the lake (and have two stunning rubber trees close to the hotel), the pool is great, and the location is quiet, safe, and close to the central mall/government buildings. (note that there is no notion of walking around in Brasilia - even though the architecture is wonderful, it's a city planned around using cars, a product of 1950s thinking).

Absolute gem! The building is a work of art, location is beautiful, right by the lake. The air is clear and nights are quiet, my patio door remained open most of my stay. Breakfast is generous and delicious. Staff is friendly and well trained. The restaurant is also excellent. I’d go back to this hotel in a heartbeat.
