Hotel Loureiro
A restaurant hotel six minutes from the cathedral
Rio Branco, Rio Branco
About this stay
Hotel Loureiro runs its own restaurant and coffee shop alongside the usual room amenities, which sets it apart from properties that leave guests to fend for themselves after breakfast. Family rooms come air-conditioned with a minibar, shower, television, tiled floors and a wardrobe, and daily housekeeping keeps things running smoothly through a longer stay, backed by luggage storage and a 24-hour front desk for late arrivals. Nazaré Cathedral is a six-minute walk away, Parque da Maternidade sits 1.2 kilometres out, and the Joaquim Macedo Footbridge is five minutes on foot, all close enough that a family can plan a day without needing a taxi. Horto Florestal is a little further at six kilometres, better suited to a dedicated outing than a spontaneous one, and free on-site private parking covers anyone arriving by car.

Our take
Guests who want an in-house restaurant and daily housekeeping rather than a bare-bones room will appreciate Loureiro over some of its cheaper neighbours, and the near-nine review score backs up the cleanliness and staff attentiveness. This is not the address for anyone chasing a pool or a garden, since the property is built around service rather than leisure facilities.
- ✓Eat at the in-house restaurant at least once; it saves a walk after a full day of sightseeing.
- ✓Use the five-minute walk to Joaquim Macedo Footbridge for an easy evening outing.
- ✓Ask housekeeping for extra towels early in the stay if travelling with young children.

- In-house restaurant and coffee shop
- Six-minute walk to the cathedral
- Daily housekeeping
- 24-hour front desk
Why guests love itHaving a restaurant downstairs turned out to matter more than we expected, especially on the evening nobody had the energy to go back out after visiting the cathedral. Housekeeping showed up daily without needing to be asked twice, and the front desk handled a late arrival without any fuss. The rooms themselves are functional rather than stylish, tiled floors and a wardrobe rather than anything designed, but the service around them is what kept the stay comfortable.
