A Grand Hotel in Pelourinho, Salvador

The Pestana Convento do Carmo is a captivatingly, luxurious hotel in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. It is located in Salvador’s historic city center, Pelourinho.
This hotel was originally built in 1586 as a Convent and was recently converted to a lavish hotel. As you can imagine, there are many interesting little nooks and details in the ancient architecture that will keep you amazed for hours.
The hotel’s decor keeps to the period with heavy, plush red velvet drapes welcoming you into different areas of the hotel. The impressive stone columns and doorways would make a perfect backdrop for a fairytale themed shoot or wedding.
The Church next door, Ordem Santo do Carmo holds many weddings. At nightfall, the warm lights turn on and the moody, romantic ambience is breathtaking. I'll be sure to catch the Thursday night jazz on my next stop to Salvador.
THE 16TH CENTURY SURROUNDINGS WOULD MAKE ANY BRIDE FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS!
The restaurant, Restaurante Conventual is magnificent, I recommend the Octopus!
