Bahiacafé Hotel

About this hotel

The address puts guests inside Pelourinho itself, right next to Praça da Sé, with the Elevador Lacerda and its view over the lower city a short walk away. This is a historic-center stay first: the building dates to the 18th century, and local art pieces on the walls do more of the talking than any sea view, since the nearest sand is a taxi ride rather than a stroll. Rooms keep to the essentials, air-conditioning, a safe, a minibar, a hot shower, while the ground floor bar and its billiards table give evenings somewhere to land after a day spent in the old town. Breakfast leans generous and local: tropical fruit, fresh juices, yoghurt, bread, cheese, ham and eggs, laid out before the square outside fills with the day's first tour groups.
