Hotel Gran Marquise

An elegant hotel situated on one of Brazil's best stretches of urban beach, the Hotel Gran Marquise is an ideal holiday destination. Enjoy award winning, authentic Brazilian cuisine and a pool with a view, while staying just steps from Mucuripe Beach.

Located on Fortaleza's bustling beachfront promenade, Avenida Beira Mar has beachside bars and the city's largest fresh fish market. The picturesque leaf-roofed cabanas of Futuro Beach are just an 8-minute taxi ride away and worth the trip. A 10-minute ride in the opposite direction will bring you to the Praia de Iracema neighborhood, Fortaleza's hub of nighttime entertainment. The city center and most corporate offices are a 15-minute drive from the hotel.

The Hotel Gran Marquise truly distinguishes itself from other hotels in its dining options: 2 distinct restaurants offer award winning dishes and extensive wine and cocktail lists. Taking center stage is Mucuripe Grill and its authentic feijoada stew-one of Brazil's most beloved culinary traditions. You can also enjoy a complimentary breakfast buffet on the restaurant's breezy veranda. The Mangostin offers a range of Asian cuisine, including fresh seafood from the city's first sushi bar. Room service is also available 24-hours a day. If you're in the mood for some quiet relaxation, you'll find plenty of opportunities here. Order up a rejuvenating massage at the spa or head to the outdoor pool for spectacular ocean views and a tropical drink from the poolside bar for a match made in heaven. If you want to keep up with your workout routine, the fitness center is equipped with cardio and weight machines. Business travelers will appreciate access to the business center, with fax and copy machines as well as secretarial services. Limited onsite parking with valet service is available (surcharge).
