Best Spa and Wellness Hotels in Bauru

Comfort Hotel Bauru sits 400 metres from Bauru Shopping, close enough to walk for a meal or a rainy-day outing with children. The outdoor pool and fitness centre add something to do on site, and breakfast is included every morning. Rooms have air conditioning, private bathrooms and flat-screen TVs with cable channels. Pets are accepted, and free parking is offered subject to availability. A 9.2 rating from 560 reviews is excellent for three stars.

Vitória Régia Hotel is a three-star hotel on Avenida Nações Unidas in Bauru with a gym and an outdoor pool with sunloungers. Rooms are air-conditioned with cable TV, a minibar, a work desk and a private bathroom with a hairdryer. Free WiFi, free private parking, laundry services and a buffet breakfast are included. With a 9.1 rating from 249 reviews, I would recommend it to business travellers and families who want a pool and a desk.

Tulip Inn Bauru gives families more outdoor space than most city hotels in Bauru. The rooftop swimming pool and sun terrace are the main draw for children, and the lush garden offers a quieter corner. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, a desk and a wardrobe, and Wi-Fi is free. Free on-site parking, a lift, room service and a 24-hour front desk handle the practical side, with a fitness centre for parents. A 9.0 score from 1,309 reviews is a strong record.

Biazi Plaza Hotel Bauru has both an indoor and an outdoor pool, so swimming stays on the plan even when the weather turns. A sauna, a fitness centre and a sun terrace give parents their own breathing room, and billiards can keep older children busy in the evening. The on-site restaurant avoids a drive for dinner, and free private parking suits families on a road trip. An 8.9 rating from 550 reviews supports its four stars.

Blue Tree Garden Bauru is a four-star hotel with business-style rooms: air conditioning, a safe, a minibar, cable television and a work desk, with white linens and wooden furniture. There is a restaurant, a bar and a fitness centre, free WiFi throughout and room service all day. Private parking is available for a charge. It suits families who want a tidy, practical base rather than a leisure resort.

Blue Tree Towers Bauru is a four-star hotel a kilometre from Bauru Shopping, with an outdoor pool and an on-site restaurant. Every room has a television, air conditioning, a balcony and a city view, plus a private bathroom with a shower and hairdryer. A fitness centre, laundry facilities and free WiFi are included, and pets are accepted, so the whole family can come.

Intercity Bauru is a four-star hotel with contemporary air-conditioned rooms, private bathrooms and city views. Each room has a work desk, a minibar, a television, a wardrobe, free toiletries and bathrobes. A Brazilian restaurant serves the buffet breakfast, and there is a lift and a 24-hour front desk. Private parking on site is charged separately, so ask when booking. It is a four-star stay aimed at guests who value a tidy room.

Hotel Nacional Inn Bauru is a central, well-rated base, with 8.7 from close to 700 reviews. For a family, the location does most of the work: the city's best bars and restaurants are 100 metres away and Bauru Shopping is 800 metres away, so meals and rainy afternoons are easy. Rooms are air-conditioned, with a minibar, a TV and a hairdryer. The Centrinho hospital and the USP dentistry faculty are close by, useful for families with appointments there.

Astron Hotel Bauru by Nobile is a four-star hotel in an upscale part of Bauru, next to Avenida Getulio Vargas. The semi-olympic lap pool is the standout, useful for swimmers and for children who need space to splash. Rooms are air-conditioned with cable television and a minibar, free WiFi covers the property, and Brazilian cuisine is served in the restaurant. Pets are welcome.

Hotel Nações Plaza is a sound family pick in Bauru thanks to two features children notice: a rooftop swimming pool and a garden with outdoor seating. Family rooms are air-conditioned and have balconies, a minibar and a TV. Free WiFi, a lift and a 24-hour front desk cover the practical side, and an electric vehicle charging station helps families on a road trip. Guests rate it 7.7 out of 10 across 69 reviews. I would choose it over a business hotel for a weekend stay.

Obeid Plaza Hotel gives a family in Bauru more facilities than most local hotels: an outdoor pool for the children, a gym and a sauna for the adults, and two restaurants on site, so dinner never needs a car. Rooms are air-conditioned, with cable TV, a minibar and an en suite bathroom. The 1980s building shows its age in the carpets and wood furniture, which some will find charming and others dated. I would book it for the pool and the main avenue address.

Flat Saint Paul Residence is an apart-hotel about a kilometre from central Bauru, and its rooftop swimming pool is the main reason a family would pick it. Rooms are air-conditioned with a balcony, a minibar and a 32-inch LCD TV, and a buffet breakfast is served every day. Free parking and free WiFi are included. The bars of Avenida Getúlio Vargas are nearby, livelier for adults than for children. A 7.6 score from 260 reviews suggests decent, unremarkable comfort.
