Hotel Kaster

Set along Avenida das Hortênsias, Gramado's main tourist artery, Hotel Kaster keeps its three-story facade a short walk from Rua Coberta and the Praça das Etnias — a practical base for couples and families touring the Serra Gaúcha without needing a car for evening dinners.

Garden-view rooms surround an inner courtyard, buffering traffic noise from the avenue while keeping shops and chocolatiers within a five-minute walk. A small beauty and spa counter handles haircuts, manicures, and facial treatments in-house.

Mountain-town chill makes the in-room heating and hardwood floors worth noting; family rooms with hypoallergenic bedding suit travelers arriving from Porto Alegre for winter weekends.
