Marazul Hotel Salvador 

It might seem hard to believe that any hotel could exude such appeal and serenity, while located midway between busy districts such as Farol da Barra and Porto da Barra, but the Marazul Hotel in Salvador promises just that. Located just 5 km away from the heart of the city and 30 km away from the International airport, it stands at the entrance to the prestigious All Saints Bay. The hotel provides Airport transfer. Best of all, it is a wonderful combination of the urban neighborhood and the natural sandy beaches with palm trees.

Salvador’s Marazul Hotel consists of 8 suites and 116 apartments—all very tastefully decorated. The multilingual staff is very accommodating. You need never worry about a power failure, since the Marazul Hotel has a back-up generator in place. The lift and elevator will always work, which can be a real boon for all, especially the disabled or those on wheelchairs.

Check out your room at the hotel. It is air conditioned, and has its own private en suite bathroom. Relax in the hot tub/bath, and dry your wet hair with the hairdryer. Hand over your clothes to the laundry service/drycleaners. Obtain room service via the telephone. Watch your favorite channels on cable/satellite television, or just listen to the radio. Web surfers can make use of the computer; it has high-speed Internet service. The mini bar is well stocked. The safe deposit box will hold your valuables.

Enjoy a leisurely dip in the outdoor swimming pool, and then head for the restaurant nearby. You can gorge on scrumptious dishes, while observing the beautiful vista of the Bay. Maybe you should head for the Fitness Center/gym next; follow it up with a sauna. The massage parlor or spa facilities can work wonders on your body. The bar in the lounge is for relaxation.

Your kids will always be well looked after by babysitters, if you are busy elsewhere. Additionally, there are security guards who are on duty, 24 hours, just like the receptionists. The hotel has thought of everything—a doctor and nurse on call, a reading room, provision of newspapers and magazines, and board/leisure games.

Have you come to Salvador in your car? There is a parking lot with valet services for it. Otherwise, just hire a vehicle or use public transportation. Use the wake-up service for early morning tours. You may visit the Shopping Barra, the Pelourinho, and other tourist spots, after getting guidance from the hotel concierge. And if you need Brazilian currency, the reception desk will help you. Many places are within walking distance—the beach, Fort of Santa Maria and San Diogo, and some historical sites. Have a great time in Brazil!
