Hotels with Bars in Salvador

My family and I stayed at the Wish with interconnecting rooms in August 2022. This worked really well for us. Lobby area is large and airy with lovely decor. Pool area looked really nice but was not warm enough for us to use. The gym was modern with plenty of choice in equipment. Had some lovely evenings at the bar drinking cocktails made by Mauro. We were allocated rooms on level 11 so we had the perfect view over the city. Just wish the windows had been cleaned. Our view was a little cloudy! On one occasion we had music outside the park for us to listen to! Plus we watched some lads playing soccer. Room sizes were good. Beds were supercosy with good selection of pillows. The decor was a little tired and could do with freshening up. There was a musty damp scent in the room on arrival which we resolved by opening the window. This must be due to the climate where its warm and wet in Winter. Breakfast was lovely each morning with lots of choice. Just wish they had some plant based alternatives. E.g soya milk, margarine etc. Outside the Wish hotel is a park which a huge monument and fountain, if you wish to take a morning stroll/jog. There are council exercise machines next to the childrens playground. We were fortunate to see Capoeira training going on. Other than that there is nothing else. A short cab ride away will take you to Bahia shopping mall - Really good food court on ground floor here - Oriental, Italian and Brazilian. Plus a good place to do a money exchange. Cash is king here guys! The tourist spots like praca da sa, Pelourinho, Rio Vermelho etc are 1.5 miles away. Hotel taxis accept card payments. Which is really convenient. Be prepared to hold on to dear life when taking a random taxi from the street. Some drive like lunatics. Our taxi from airport to hotel was like this. Maybe its worth booking a hotel transfer with Wish. Overall if I could afford the Fasano I would stay there for the luxury plus location,but if you require something more easy on the pocket and away from the madness of the tourist areas, I would choose Wish de Bahia. Many thanks for a wonderful first stay in Salvador. X

We booked the hotel according to the comments from here and were surprised. The service since the doorway was always a prime. The location is privileged, perfect for going on the beach of the day or in the night bars, and all tips have always come from the receptionists, who deserve exalted. Hotel with shampoo, air conditioning and liquid savon, quality cable TV with various channels, a good space apartment, new swab and water and light saving measures. The coffee machine I wanted to bring home so good, the juices always with orange and another alternative, and of course, both natural. Heat cucuz every day, and the other dishes always varied, what we love. Brood, sweet and salty cakes, always new, and well prepared. The lies that are walking through the trees in front of the hotel have closed this experience with another's key. If you want to enjoy Salvador and don't spend the day inside the hotel, this is certainly one of the best alternatives.

The Fasano is truly the personification of a luxury hotel. The centrally located property is a magnificent structure to begin with. All areas are elegantly but not too formally appointed with an air of casual sophistication. The roof top pool and bar area is breathtaking by day and enchanting by night and the adjacent spa small but top notch. My room, a junior suite was large by any standard. It accommodated a beautifully appointed siting, work and sleeping areas and had an exquisite bathroom. The hard wood floor was gorgeous and the bed, linens and amenities top quality. The lighting was subdued and easily controllable. My only complaint was the water temperature at the shower was only cool. I loved the chic staff uniforms and the personnel were effervescent. I only ate breakfast in the restaurant but the buffet was scrumptious. The coffee was remarkable. I thought it a bit odd that you had request smoked salmon rather than have it placed on the buffet. Overall the Fasano fits the bill as a world class luxury Hotel that I highly recssommend.

Wonderful clean new hotel with great service. The breakfast is delicious with a large variety of food. The swimming pool is very nice and the hotel grounds are massive and well kept. There are several friendly iguanas crawling around and even a couple of cats.

The room I booked includes breakfast. After eating, let me sign the room number and I signed it. Later, the front desk charged me for breakfast. It said that it was and the sign was not paid. The bed was a bit too soft and uncomfortable to sleep.

The hotel has a beach outlet, is very wide, with beautiful spaces, such as the pad and the gardens. The environment is wonderful, from the pool you see the blue sea (a little brave sea!!). The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable and is very comfortable. The room is quite simple and it would be good to re-model it, but the truth that you spend a little time in the room and that was not important for us. The attention is good and the capirinha excellent!! We would certainly return.

After a not very calm flight trip across the Atlantic, this Hotel made us feel really confortable since the time we arrive. It doesn't take long to reach from the airport and it is just by the beach, so it was a wonderful place to arrive when one comes from a winter tempest in Europe. The pool is marvellous! It has hot water and it is large enough to not feel crowded. The breakfast had everything I could wish for, fruits, many breads, and even more substancial foods. The staff was extremely helpful. I also felt safe and enjoyed being on the beach. Many nice beaches are very close by, as well as the Farol de Itapoã . We really enjoyed our stay.

For the British amongst you .. think travel lodge / premier inn and that what this is . It’s basic , and old basic . We had the top floor sea-view room . It’s basic . Just a sheet on the bed a small old chair and tiny table . No tea or coffee making ( probably because of Covid ). A weird layout in the room I think to try to accommodate the view Travel lodge style wardrobe and shelving . If you are looking for a lovely romantic break I do not recommend this place . All that said it’s a nice location by the sea with a beach. ( no beds) The pool is small but nice . Again a bit 3 star . The staff are all excellent I can speak Portuguese so I’m not sure about how well they cater if you can’t speak Portuguese. This is not where the historical attractions of Salvador are , for that you need to take a bus or a taxi . There are lots of places to eat or drink in the evening nearby so you isn’t need to go anywhere at night if you don’t want to . The breakfast was ok . Again think travel lodge . All self service . No English tea . Personally I world definitely not stay here again or recommend it , but it depends on what you are expecting. If you are a foreigner visiting Salvador .. I would say stay in the central area in a small pousada.. do 2 nights , see the sights then go to a proper beach resort. They are about 50k away . This place is not one thing or the other .

The hotel environment is very good, the top open-air swimming pool can directly enjoy the Atlantic view, good morning is also very good, fruit is rich. The room has a small balcony, you can sit directly in the room and blow the Atlantic sea breeze, the overall price is very high.

A nice hotel at the beach in Barra. Ocean views are lovely. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is solid. The gym could use help - better equipment and AC units that both work.
