Mercure Rio de Janeiro Nova Iguacu
Mercure Rio de Janeiro Nova Iguacu is a four-star hotel in Nova Iguaçu, a large city in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area, housed in a modern multi-story building. Rooms come with balconies overlooking either the pool or the city streets, and the property also has a fitness center, squash courts, and meeting rooms.
The hotel went through a major renovation in 2012, bringing it to the standard it holds today. Nova Iguaçu itself grew rapidly during the 20th century, shifting from a small agricultural town into one of the largest urban centers in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
The hotel sits in a busy commercial district of Nova Iguaçu, where the streets around it are lined with local shops and markets that reflect everyday Brazilian urban life. Visitors who step outside can get a feel for how residents of a large working city go about their daily routines.
The hotel is in central Nova Iguaçu and can be reached by car or public transport, with bus stops and a train station close by. On-site parking is available for guests arriving by car, though a fee applies.
Nova Iguaçu is home to Praça do Skate, considered the first public skateboarding square in Latin America, located a short drive from the hotel. The plaza draws local skaters of all ages and offers a side of the city that most travel guides tend to overlook.
