Travel to Salvador -
Experience Salvador at the Pousada do Boqueirao,
Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

Pousada do Boqueirao and Pousada das Flores are great examples of colonial architecture, in the newly restored Pelourinho, at the heart of Salvador’s historical center and UNESCO's World Heritage Site.

Pousada do Boqueirao is one of the most charming pousadas in Salvador and DiscoverBrazil has selected this pousada because of its friendly staff and its simple and rustic decoration which transports their guests back to the past. Location is one of its assets, since it is a short walk from Pelourinho´s main streets. The restaurant offers Bahian food and the breakfasts are delicious, specially the Pao Delicia (a flour bread roseate with cheese).

This pousada is special because of its unique architecture. The façade is discrete and you could easily walk past it and not notice it, however if you decide to step inside you will be transported to another world. The space inside contradicts its exterior facade. A hallway leads to a large room that doubles as an entrance hall. The decoration is rustic, but inviting and after crossing the lounge and living room you will discover a very pleasant and spacious veranda with a great view of the bay. So you can enjoy the sea breeze as you have your breakfast or dinner. If you want to feel as if you traveled to the past, this is the place to stay.

Salvador’s historic center of the Pelourinho has recently been recuperated and the glory of many of the buildings as well as most of the old streets that continue to be covered with cobblestones, transports visitors to the old colonial days. While staying in the Pelourinho you can’t miss the Olodum rehearsals, the rich production of the Balle Folclorico da Bahia, the new releases at the Teatro XVI, and night life in cafes and bars. A Moqueca de peixe (a marinated fish) or a simple caipirinha at the Jardim das Delicias restaurant is a must.

Pousada do Boqueirao has 15 different rooms, including a honeymoon suite on the last floor with its view of the Bahia de Todos os Santos (All Saints Bay). It is an ideal setting for an unforgettable stay.
