What are the types of hotels?
In the past, hotels here in Brazil did not follow a standard.
Each location offered what it wanted to offer its customers.
This scenario only changed in 2011, when the Ministry of Tourism updated the rules of the Accommodation Classification System (SBClass).
Once this was done, the locations were once again rated from one to five stars, defined for each category.
Thus, the location and its services determine the number of stars and consequently their quality and values.
HOTEL
Hotels are the main choice for many out there, especially if it is a family trip!
Practicality, frequency of service and security offered are items taken into consideration when choosing where to stay during the tour.
Accommodations can be classified from one to five stars, varying according to their size, services offered, etc.

We list the main classification requirements for hotels. If you want to see the complete list, just access the website Brazilian Accommodation Classification System clicking HERE.
APART-HOTEL
Unlike a hotel, which only offers the room, the flat or apart-hotel offers a complete structure.
For those looking to have a little more privacy, the option is practically a house in a small space.
With a bedroom, living room, bathroom and equipped kitchen, its rating is generally three to five stars, and an elective concept for its position is the gym, swimming pool, bar and restaurant.
This option is generally chosen by those who are going on a long trip, or families traveling with children, and can have everything at their disposal more easily.
FARM HOTEL
As the name suggests, it is a hotel like all the others, but located in rural/farm areas.
Contact with nature and perhaps animals are the big difference in the list of types of accommodation, with lots of fun and country entertainment.
To meet the characteristics of its name, it is mandatory that common areas have some type of vegetable garden, orchard or garden. It is also necessary to have facilities for raising animals.
HISTORIC HOTEL
Like other hotels, this must offer basic accommodation and food services, however, in accordance with the following determination:
“Hosted in a building preserved in its original or restored form, or which has been the scene of historical-cultural events of recognized importance. Historical-cultural facts are understood to be those considered relevant by popular memory, regardless of when they occurred, and recognition may be formal on the part of the Brazilian State, or informal, based on popular knowledge or academic studies.”
It's always a good idea to do some research beforehand to make sure the facilities are in good condition. After all, even though it is historic, the good condition of the furniture and spaces is a minimum requirement.
RESORT
By law, a resort must offer a leisure and entertainment infrastructure with beauty services, physical activity, recreation and interaction with nature, all within the resort itself.
It is one of the most luxurious types of accommodation, the resorts are classified as four or five stars.
Ideal for family holidays or a honeymoon, the spaces are generally far from the city center, as they need to guarantee comfort and tranquility to their guests, as well as their various services (spa, sauna, massage, gym, bar, cafe , recreation for children and adults, etc.).
The convenience is so much that you only need to worry about pack the suitcase with your personal items, because the rest you can find at the resort!
INN
Known by most travelers, this type of accommodation tends to be very charming and cozy.
Unlike hotels, which can be large or small, a guesthouse can have a maximum of 30 housing units and 90 beds with horizontal structures.
Breakfast is not mandatory to get any stars.
Items such as a separate bathroom, barbecue, swimming pool and restaurant are seen as differentiators and determining factors when classifying.
HOSTEL
This is the cheapest accommodation option, ideal for those who just need a place to sleep.
Hostel is a kind of shared hotel, with individual rooms or sets and bathrooms for everyone.
The relaxed atmosphere tends to attract many young people, especially those who like the idea of meeting new people and enjoying the trip, without being tied to the facilities.
RENTAL HOUSES
Ideal for larger families, the option is also useful if you are going to divide the cost between all the adults, for example.
The houses, as they are private, do not need to meet any specific characteristics, as they are not classified like other forms of accommodation.
Here, the research is on you!
That's why the tip is: know the place you're going to, research the place well and whether the owner is trustworthy, so you don't fall into a trap during your trip.
