Gran Meliá Iguazú

The only hotel in Argentina's Iguazú National Park offering views of the falls and located within walking distance of the entrance to the walkways.

Look no further to stay right next to Iguazú Falls on the Argentine side – Gran Meliá Iguazú is a great choice. This high-quality resort is more than just a base for visiting the Falls, with grounds set in protected jungle of Iguazú National Park, as well as a large outdoor pool, spa, gym and restaurant.

This gorgeously-located property has bright, spacious rooms with contemporary furnishings, snow-white décor and blond flooring. You can choose a room or junior suite with rainforest views or opt for the hotel's pièce de résistance – Falls View rooms overlooking the monumental cascades, albeit from a distance. All rooms have balconies or terraces where you can sip a sundowner in the golden light of the late afternoon.

Along with the views, a unique advantage of staying at the Gran Meliá is the privilege of being able to get a head start on the walkways in the national park as soon as they open in the morning and before most other visitors arrive.
