Design Inspired by Pernambuco

The hotel’s design draws inspiration from the landscapes and cultural identity of Pernambuco State. Public spaces incorporate natural materials and regional influences, while guest corridors feature artwork inspired by Cordel literature, a traditional form of Brazilian storytelling.

The rooftop area draws inspiration from the coastal environment, while interior spaces reflect elements of the region’s inland landscapes.

Accommodation options include rooms with bunk beds and sofa beds, while Hilton’s Confirmed Connecting Room technology allows guests to reserve connecting rooms in advance. The hotel features 42 connecting rooms, with some configurations allowing up to four rooms to be linked together.

Dining and Social Spaces

The hotel includes a rooftop restaurant serving breakfast with views of the sea and nearby waterways. A café on the ground floor is open to both hotel guests and local visitors, creating a social space connected to the surrounding neighbourhood.

Dining venues have been designed to reflect local culture and regional culinary influences while providing gathering spaces for travellers and residents.
