Salvador de Bahia Hotel: Pousada des Artes
Rua Direita de Santo Antonio 90,
Salvador de Bahia
In the heart of Pelourinho, the historical center of Salvador de Bahia, there is a bright yellow house trimmed in red and draped in climbing green plants that encapsulates the lively color and spirit of Afro-Brazilian culture. Housed in a restored 18th century mansion, Pousada de Artes shines a spotlight on the cultural creativity of Salvador de Bahia, both in the interior design of the guesthouse and in the artistic events that it hosts in its lobby-floor cultural center.

Description
Pousada des Artes is situated on a hilly street in full of colonial-era mansions and boasting views over Todos os Santos Bay. Its neighbors include the 5-star hotel Convento do Carmo as well the Fort of Santo Antonio Alem, also known as Capoeira. This is a bohemian district, home to many artists, musicians, and dancers, as well as the excellent Museu du Ritmo, founded by Carlinhos Brown and dedicated to celebrating the influence of Afro-Brazilian rhythms in music, dance, and culture.
With this setting as the backdrop for its facilities, it should be no surprise that this 3-star pousada also conveys an extraordinary passion for Brazilian art and culture. Recuperated old wood furniture stands solidly amid bright colors, greenery, and hammocks; the whole effect of the interior spaces is one of placid charm. Breakfast is served on the terrace with a view of the port. The on-site cultural center on the lobby floor features exhibitions of painting, sculpture, and photography, and occasional bossa nova and jazz concerts.
The pousada’s team of well-trained, detail oriented-staff is more than happy to help visitors navigate and discover Salvador’s hidden charms. The front desk can also organize nautical activities including sailing on catamarans, diving, whale-watching (the season is in January), wind kiting, surfing, or fishing.
