The Property — Hotel Delavy
The Hotel Delavy is a no-frills 1-star guesthouse in central Chapecó, aimed at budget travellers who just need a clean bed and a shower before an early flight or a day of work. The lobby is small and functional—formica counter, worn vinyl seating, a noticeboard advertising local bus routes. Its main USP is location: a few minutes' walk from the bus station and the main square, Pátio Chapecó.
Chronicles of Chapeco
Chapecó was founded in 1917 by settlers from Rio Grande do Sul, predominantly of Italian and German descent, who cleared the forest for agriculture. The city grew rapidly after the 1940s as the centre of Brazil's southern agribusiness boom, particularly in poultry and pork processing. Architecturally, the city centre mixes 1950s low-rise concrete with modernist glass towers erected by banks and cooperatives. Culturally, Chapecó identifies strongly with its football club, Chapecoense, and hosts the Festa Nacional da Maçã in even-numbered years. Today it bills itself as the 'Capital of Agribusiness', with a young, pragmatic population focused on work, family and football.
Best Time to Visit
Full Chapeco guide →Best months
April and May—autumn with mild temperatures (17-25°C), low humidity, and few tourists. November also works: pre-summer warmth without the heavy rains of January.
Peak / festival surge
January and February are peak: school holidays and the intense summer heat (28-33°C, high humidity) bring families from elsewhere in the state. Hotel prices can double; the Festa Nacional da Maçã in even years adds further demand. The city also fills for Chapecoense home matches.
Budget shoulder season
March and June: March has cooling weather and few events; June is the onset of winter, cool but dry, and hotel rates drop by 15–20% as business travel slows. Expect 8-16°C and occasional cold fronts.
Weather & packing
Chapecó sits at 680m elevation, so nights can be surprisingly cool even in summer—always carry a light jacket. Pack a waterproof layer: rain is frequent year-round, but especially from September to November.
Live City Briefing — Chapeco
- The city’s new bus terminal, Terminal Urbano de Chapecó, opened in late 2025 directly opposite the Hotel Delavy—expect improved connections but ongoing noise from finishing works.
- Local restaurants on Avenida Getúlio Vargas are now operating reduced hours on Mondays due to staffing shortages; check opening times in advance.
- Road repairs on Rua Porto Alegre, one block from the hotel, are scheduled to finish by April 2026, improving access to the city centre.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Hotel Delavy, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor away from the lift or stairwell for less foot traffic noise. Corner rooms often have fewer neighbours on one side.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms next to the ice machine, vending area, or service door. Ground-floor rooms near the lobby or breakfast area tend to be louder.
Best views
Ask for a room facing away from the main road or any construction site. Even a side street view is often quieter and more pleasant than a full-frontal street view.
Quietest floors
Upper floors generally have less street noise and footfall, especially if the hotel is on a busy road. Top floor can be quietest if lift usage is low.
🔊 Noise notes
Thin walls and creaky floors are common in older or budget hotels. Bring earplugs. If the hotel has a tiled lobby, sound travels up stairwells – avoid rooms near the stairwell door.
Insider tips
1. Book directly with the hotel if possible; some offer a better rate or free upgrade for a quiet room when you call. 2. Check if the hotel provides a free breakfast – booking without it can be cheaper, and local bakeries are often better value.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Brazilian Real, BRL
Use ATMs from Banco do Brasil or Caixa for the best rates; avoid airport exchange bureaux and tourist-area cambio shops that charge high commissions.
Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard) widely accepted in supermarkets, pharmacies, and mid-range restaurants; contactless (tap) is common; cash still expected at small bars, bakeries, and for street food.
Restaurants: 10% service charge (gorjeta) is often added to the bill — no need to tip extra unless service is exceptional. Taxis: round up or leave spare change; not expected. Hotel staff: R$5–10 per bag for porters, R$5 per day for housekeeping.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A small cafezinho (strong black coffee) from a padaria (bakery) costs about R$4–6.
A prato feito (set meal of rice, beans, meat, salad) at a simple lanchonete or self-service buffet costs R$15–25.
A main dish (e.g. pizza slice or x-salada burger) at a casual eatery runs R$20–35.
Look for pastel de feira (fried pastries) and coxinha (chicken croquettes) at the weekly street market or near bus terminals; good cheap eats around the Praça Coronel Bertaso area.
Supermercados like Superpão and Angeloni are common in Chapecó; budget options are smaller mercados.
Rua 15 de Novembro has affordable high-street clothes shops; the Centro shopping centre has cheaper mall stores.
A single bus ticket (with recarga card) costs R$4.70; from the airport take city bus 05 or 07 (R$4.70) to the centre — avoid taxis (R$40+).
Buy a recarga bus card at a newsstand or lottery shop for cheaper fares. Eat at self-service restaurants (por quilo) for lunch — you pay by weight, so skip the heavy rice and go for salad/grilled meat. Skip the touristy churrascarias in the centre; a rodízio is not cheap.
