Guararema Parque Hotel

Tucked into the Mata Atlântica in Guararema, this getaway sits with a privileged view of the Rio Paraíba do Sul. It’s about 80 km from São Paulo and roughly 25 miles from São José dos Campos, yet walking distance to Guararema’s center. Close to Jose Luiz A. Souza Municipal Theater and Parque Municipal Ilha Grande, it’s a family-friendly, pet-friendly option for a nature-first escape.

Set on a large riverside property, the hotel blends relaxed resort vibes with modern rooms. Guestrooms are air-conditioned and offer minibars, LCD TVs, private baths, hair dryers, desks and blackout curtains. Accessible rooms are available and the property emphasizes comfort for families. Expect casual, nature-focused decor and river-view mornings.

Multiple pools (including an outdoor water slide/tobogã), an indoor pool, spa and beauty salon, sauna and a fitness center keep the days active or mellow. Outdoors you’ll find tennis and multi-sport courts, hiking trails, pedalinho (paddle boats), fishing, playgrounds and a kids club with a game room. Free onsite parking and property-wide Wi‑Fi make stays easy. Wake up to river-breeze mornings and head for the pool.

There’s a business center, meeting rooms and large event space (about 1,672 m² / 17,997 sq ft) for conferences and events. Complimentary Wi‑Fi in public areas, free self-parking and laundry/dry-cleaning services support business stays.

Culinary service is a highlight here with a restaurant (Pau D'Alho) serving international options, a bar and a poolside bar. The hotel offers full-board (pensão completa) service—breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner—with a daily buffet breakfast and limited room service available.
