4-star hotels in Itajai

A shortlist of 4-star hotels in Itajai, from city-centre addresses to the Praia Brava seafront. It is for couples, families and business travellers comparing guest ratings and facilities before booking a stay in this part of Santa Catarina.

Staying in Itajai

Itajai sits at the mouth of the Itajai-Acu river on Brazil's Santa Catarina coast, a port and working city whose waterfront and nearby beaches draw visitors as much as its business does. Others sit out along the coast, on Rodovia Osvaldo Reis, Rua Delfim Mario De Padua Peixoto and Jose De Alencar, close to the Praia Brava and Praia dos Amores seafront. That split shapes who each hotel suits: couples and families tend to favour the beach addresses, where facilities include family rooms, balconies and beach access, while business travellers are better served by the central hotels with business centres, fitness centres and 24 hour front desks. A short break works either way.
