The Property — Hotel Monthez
Hotel Monthez is a straightforward three-star business hotel on Rua Azambuja, a main commercial street. The lobby is clean, tiled and functional — no frills, just a reception desk, a couple of sofas and the smell of fresh coffee from the breakfast room. It suits independent travellers and small tour groups who need a reliable base for exploring the city’s textile outlets and Oktoberfest grounds.
Chronicles of Brusque
Brusque was founded in 1860 by German and Italian immigrants, and its architecture still reflects that heritage with half-timbered houses and ornate churches. The city’s textile industry boomed in the mid-20th century, turning it into Brazil’s 'capital of clothing outlets', which still drives its economy today. Modern Brusque mixes red-tiled roofs with glass-faced shopping centres, and its annual October festival (Oktoberfest Brusque) is a major draw for beer, polka music and German food.
Best Time to Visit
Full Brusque guide →Best months
April and May offer mild autumn temperatures (18–25°C) and low humidity, making sightseeing comfortable before the winter cold sets in.
Peak / festival surge
October is the peak month, driven by Oktoberfest Brusque (two weeks in October). Hotel prices can double, and rooms book out months in advance.
Budget shoulder season
March and November are the best shoulder months: weather is still pleasant (20–28°C), festival crowds have dispersed, and hotel rates drop by 20–30%.
Weather & packing
Brusque’s weather in July is cool and wet — expect daytime highs of 20°C and frequent drizzle. Pack a waterproof jacket and layers; leave the sandals at home.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Monthez, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing away from Rodovia Antônio Heil — the road side gets traffic noise from the highway (BR-470). Upper floors also reduce lift clatter from the lobby area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception and any room directly backing onto the service entrance or kitchen — 3-star hotels often have early-morning deliveries and bin collections out back.
Best views
Rooms at the back (non-road side) overlook the Mata Atlântica greenery or the hotel's garden/pool area — the highway is set back slightly behind a service road, so rear view wins for peace and scenery.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are typically quietest in a 3-star lodge of this height (assuming 3 storeys from lift data). Request top floor for less footfall above you.
🔊 Noise notes
Highway BR-470/Rodovia Antônio Heil is a main regional road with heavy truck traffic through Brusque, especially 6am-9am and 4pm-7pm. The hotel sits at km 29, so it's not in the town centre but still picks up road noise. Weekend nights can have revving motorbikes.
Insider tips
1. Parking: The hotel has free on-site parking but spaces can be tight at weekends — arrive before 4pm to secure a spot near the front. 2. Check-in: Ask for a room on the garden side when you book by phone; the front desk can block a quiet one if you call a day before arrival.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
