Motel

The word “motel” in Brazil designates a hotel that rents rooms from one hour to twenty-four hours. They are normally located on the periphery of cities, along the highways, hence the term motel, but there are also some located in town.

As you’ll gather from the various names and decor, motels are strictly for couples and are what many people would know as love-hotels .

This is not to say that it’s not possible to stay in one if you can’t find anything else, and since they’re used by locals they’re rarely too expensive.

But you should be aware that most of the other rooms will be rented by the hour.
