Hotels are plentiful throughout the Northeast. Prices range from moderate to pricey, depending on season. Many hotels are sleek and modern, comparable to those you'd find in tourist destinations around the world. Pousadas tend to have a bit more charm and personalized service. Making reservations is advisable during high seasons. Keep in mind that prices listed at the hotel reception are often considerably higher than those that can be found online. Many business hotels will also drop their rates on the weekends.
Overlooking the beach, this luxury hotel has beautiful rooms; friendly, five-star service; and a prime location that makes it a wonderful base for exploring Fortaleza. Sophisticated amenities include comfortable king-size beds, a rooftop pool, and L’Occitane toiletries.

Opt for one of the ocean-view rooms to wake up to a view of the sparkling blue sea.
On a small side street three blocks from the beach, this laid-back hotel offers some of the best value for money in town, with friendly service and a charming rooftop terrace.

The Othon Palace Fortaleza sits on a small hill right where the beach makes a big curve, affording guests a spectacular view of the beach and Mucuripe Bay. There's comfortable seating in the stylish lobby, where a spiral staircase leads up to meeting rooms. Tastefully decorated rooms are more like small suites.
