The hotel has GIGANTIC rooms with high ceilings, very nice. And connecting rooms (useful with children) The restaurant in the hotel is very good too. Delicious breakfast.... More

We stayed five days with two kids(10 and 7).Lovely hotel, comfortable and outstanding staff. Great place to bring the family. The room was spacious and very clean. The restaurant is excellent in the breakfast, lunch or dinner, in addition well located in this quiet imperial city.

This is a great place to stay if you are visiting Petropolis. First of all, it is located in one of the most beautiful streets of the town. Besides that, the rooms are comfortable, the yard is great, and the restaurant... well, the restaurant is just perfect! Wonderful food! The place is not so cheap, so, if you can´t stay... More

This is a very special place. It's a historic building that was renovated and modernized with very good taste. The owners are always around making sure that everything goes well and that the guests needs are being met. Breakfast is delicious and I strongly recommend the pancakes (ask for mixed pancakes so that you can try both banana and strawberry).... More

Regularly visit Petropolis on Business and always stay at Solar do Imperio. If there is no availability at Solar because it is often full, I stay in Rio. The owners and their staff are amazingly helpful, friendly, and really appreciate that you are staying at their hotel spa.

My husband and I got married there. We closed the entire hotel just for us and our guests, including their 5 star, Michelin Star Worthy, Top Chef (world renowned Claudia Mascarenhas) restaurant. My parents became close friends with the owners, who are a humble delight. This place is magical! Every single person who went to our wedding still talks about... More

It's a hotel located at an old mansion, but the rooms are new and big. But don't expect luxury, because you won't find it. The staff is very good, everybody polite and ready to help. The breakfast it's good, but not wonderful. The price is over rated, especially for a town like Petrópolis. But i think is the best hotel... More
