Hard Rock Hotel Brazil opens a new avenue for the international music and hospitality company. After beginning with a café in London, the Hard Rock spirit has expanded far beyond eateries with hotels, casinos, and entertainment venues. The newest additions to the company are coming to Brazil—the country bursting with excitement for the Olympics and World Cup. With locations in Itapema, Brasilia, and Caldas Novas, Hard Rock International has its bases covered for those looking to vacation in Brazil with the Hard Rock experience.

Hard Rock International, based in Florida, is expanding its reach into South America for the first time with the three casino hotels in Brazil. The luxury hotels are joining a portfolio of properties in the top cities around the world—London, Ibiza, Las Vegas, and Cancun included. In total, there are 162 cafes, 23 hotels in and 11 casino properties in the Hard Rock family—each one offering the signature combination of music memorabilia and fun times. As seen around the world, the Brazil hotels feature designs inspired by the local landscapes and cultural scenes with rock and roll added on. 

Hard Rock Hotel Itapema

In the southern portion of Brazil, Itapema has been a favorite destination for beach vacations for generations. Today’s travelers can enjoy the scenery with the signature Hard Rock style as they make plans to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel Itapema. The project transforms the Plaza Itapema Resort & Spa, known for its prime location along the shore, within minutes of Ilhota Bach and Mato de Camboriu. Hard Rock Hotel is adding rooms to property, bringing its total to 175. Each of the guest rooms will be well equipped with deluxe linens and interactive music menus that allows guests to listen to what they choose. The spa’s list of amenities also is wrapped around the music theme, as are the gym facilities and shopping. Along with the luxe accommodations, the hotel will feature live music events throughout the year.

Hard Rock Hotel Brasilia

The first Hard Rock Hotel to open in South America, the location in Brasilia is part of an ever bigger project, the expansion of the local airport. The Brasilia Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, named for a president of Brazil, welcomes flights from around the world to the country’s fourth-largest city. Since the major expansion project was set in motion in 2009, the facility has been updated with new runways, parking, and visitor amenities. More than 20 million passengers pass through the airport each year. The Hard Rock Hotel offers them a new choice for airport lodging. The one-of-a-kind hotel has 400 rooms, along with a large pool complex, meeting space, and spa. A rooftop lounge hosts live music, and a gourmet restaurant serves up Hard Rock favorites.

Hard Rock Hotel Caldas Novas

Another favorite for Brazil vacations, Caladas Novas is nestled within the capital of Goias, a state in southern Brazil. This destination is best known as the largest geo-thermal resort in the world. As vacationers are coming to enjoy the relaxing, warm waters, they can experience the hospitality of the Hard Rock Hotel Caldas Novas. The hotel property features 12 stories with 303 rooms, along with six thermal pools for relaxing in and music experiences. Kids can head to their play area, while adult guests will want to check out the nightclub and sophisticated dining experiences at the trio of restaurants.
