Pousada Portas da Amazônia

In the heart of São Luís’ historic center, this colonial pousada sits steps from the Amapá Biodiversity Corridor and the Centro de História Natural e Arqueologia do Maranhão. It’s about 0.2 mi from the Domingos Vieira Filho Popular Culture Center and roughly 12.5 km from São Luís (SLZ) airport.

Housed in an 18th-century mansion, the guest house blends rustic colonial charm with vines, rattan, bamboo, crafts and antique furniture. About three dozen individually decorated rooms feature minibars, LED TVs, safes and private bathrooms with showers and hairdryers, while softly lit corridors and a garden give the place a warm, lived-in vibe.

Standouts include a garden, tour/ticket assistance, complimentary Wi‑Fi in rooms and public areas, laundry and dry‑cleaning, and an airport shuttle (surcharge). Wake up to a complimentary buffet breakfast (7–9 AM), enjoy late-night eats at the pizzeria, and take easy day trips — the beaches and Lagoa do Jansen are about 4 km away.

A business center and 24-hour reception support meeting travelers, with complimentary Wi‑Fi in public areas plus express check-in and check-out and laundry/dry‑cleaning services.

On-site dining includes a pizzeria with a tasty Italian menu and regional Maranhão dishes, a restaurant and a bar; the pizzeria runs late and a complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7–9 AM.
