Hotel Tannenhof

Santa Catarina


This pleasant midrange has more character than Joinville's myriad chain hotels, albeit of the old-fashioned German variety. Standard rooms are huge – no reason to upgrade – and come with headboards, minibars and closets dipped in paint-by-numbers European kitsch.

At least half the rooms have been fitted with new laminate flooring, giving them a more modern look and feel.
