Recife accommodation from NZ$42

Boasting 30 accommodation options, Boa Viagem is an accommodation area that could be a good place to stay. Boa Viagem is just 8 kilometres from the buzz of Recife's downtown. Grand Mercure Recife Atlante Plaza and Vila Rica Hotel are among Wotif's top choices.

Travelling is about choice so why not check out some alternative neighbourhoods? Downtown Recife and Pina are two other options. The Mercure Recife Metropolis Hotel and Pousada Villa Boa Vista are in Downtown Recife and the Cosmopolitan Hostel and Vivaz are in Pina. The Pousada Baobá and Pousada dos Quatro Cantos are situated in Historic Center, while Beach Class Resort Muro Alto and Pousada Girassol are part of the Porto de Galinhas area.

The Motel Sobrado and NovoHotell Recife are recommended options should you decide to choose accommodation within a short stroll of Church of Our Lady of the Conception of the Military. The Recife Praia Hotel and Eninova Flat Executive are within walking distance of the Sao Jose Market. If you choose to stay close to the Sao Jose do Ribamar Church, choose from useful accommodation options like the Transamérica Prestige Beach Class International and Cult Hotel. And, if you are interested in staying near the Recife City Museum, your most convenient hotel options are the Best Western Manibu Recife and Hotel Pousada da Praia.

The Deco Home Design is positioned 12 kilometres from the middle of Recife. Alternatively, the Meliá Barra Recife can be found 18 kilometres away. Another possibility is to book a room at the Studio 51 or the Boa Viagem Praia Hotel.

After seeing Recife, take a little time to visit the wider region of the Pernambuco area. Photographers will appreciate Pernambuco's beaches and forests. If that's not your idea of a good time, head to the region's traditional villages and churches. Adventurous types might also try their hand at mountain climbing, hiking and shore fishing in this part of Brazil.

An alternative place to spend the night is Gravata, which is 75 kilometres to the west of the heart of Recife. It is home to the Three Kings Monument, Rodolfo de Moraes Park and Escadaria de Felicidade. Gravata accommodation options include the Villa Hípica Resort and Oasis Boutique Hotel & Spa.

Before you head home from Northeast Region, make sure you experience some local sport. Find Arruda Stadium to the north of Recife. The Recife Plaza Hotel and the Pousada dos Quatro Cantos are near the action.

Visitors planning on arriving or departing via Guararapes International Airport may plan to book some accommodation at the Nobile Beach Class Executive or the Nacional Inn Recife, which are both close.
