Hotel Guapindaia Praça
A 3-star base minutes from the cathedral and the river
Rio Branco, Rio Branco
About this stay
Hotel Guapindaia Praça sits close enough to the Rio Acre that the 700-metre walk to the water barely counts as an outing, and Nazaré Cathedral is nearer still at 500 metres. The three-star classification here means straightforward comfort rather than extras: air-conditioned rooms with satellite television and a minibar, an en-suite shower, and a front desk staffed around the clock for late check-ins. Families booking a family room get the same central position as everyone else, with restaurants and cafés within a fifteen-minute walk and a tour desk on hand for day-trip planning. The Rio Branco Bus Station is 8 kilometres out and Presidente Médici Airport a further 18, so most guests arrive by taxi rather than on foot.

Our take
This suits families and solo travellers who want a straightforward, central base without paying for facilities they will not use. The 500-metre walk to Nazaré Cathedral and the short hop to Parque da Maternidade make it easy to fill a day without a car. Anyone wanting a pool or a river view should look at the apart-hotels further out instead, since Guapindaia Praça is built for convenience, not lounging.
- ✓Book a family room specifically if travelling with children; standard doubles do not include the extra bedding.
- ✓Budget a taxi for the bus station or airport runs, since both sit well outside comfortable walking range.
- ✓Ask at the tour desk about day trips before your first evening, slots fill up during the dry season.

Why guests love itWhat stands out about this address is how little walking a family has to do to fill a day. The cathedral is close enough to reach before the midday heat sets in, and the front desk staff sorted a late check-in without any fuss. The rooms are plain three-star rooms rather than anything special, and the breakfast buffet is functional rather than memorable, but for a short city stay with children in tow, the location earns its keep more than any single amenity does.
