Convento do Carmo de Salvador, Colonial monastery and hotel in Pelourinho, Salvador, Brazil
The Convento do Carmo complex includes a church, two chapels, and a museum containing 1,500 historical artifacts from Brazilian colonial times.
Founded in 1586 by Carmelite friars, the monastery walls witnessed the Dutch surrender to Portugal in 1625 during the colonial period.
The sacristy displays extensive Baroque woodwork, gold-detailed paintings, and architectural elements representing Portuguese religious influence in colonial Brazil.
The building houses 79 hotel rooms converted from former monk cells, featuring historical artwork and antique furniture throughout the property.
Guests complete their check-in process at an 18th-century altar, while the hotel maintains a telephone booth inside a Baroque confessionary.
