Hotel Villa Bahia  

In the heart of Salvador’s Pelourinho historic center, a pet-friendly boutique hotel steps from the Jorge Amado Museum and a short walk to the Lacerda Elevator, Praça da Sé and the San Francisco Church. Shops, bars, art galleries and capoeira schools spill onto the streets around All Saints Bay.

Set inside two restored colonial houses, the property blends opulent, explorer-themed suites with modern comforts. Rooms are individually decorated (many named after Portuguese explorers) and include minibars, LCD TVs, in-room safes, air conditioning and private bathrooms with designer toiletries.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, lounge on the rooftop terrace or unwind in the garden and solarium. The hotel offers concierge services, luggage storage, 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff, plus babysitting on request (surcharge). Pets are welcome and a complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7–10 AM.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected throughout the hotel, and the front desk can assist with transfers, tours and other arrangements.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve traditional Brazilian dishes in a warm, local atmosphere ideal for balmy evenings. Start the day with the complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 7–10 AM.
