La propiedad — Hotel Beatrix
Hotel Beatrix sits on a quiet residential street a 15-minute walk from the centre – a pale blue seven-storey block with a small lobby that smells of fresh coffee and salt air. The vibe is no-frills practical: tiled floors, a front desk staffed by someone who will remember your room number, and a rooftop pool that catches the afternoon breeze. It suits travellers who want a clean, safe base for work or a short beach trip without paying for frills they won't use.
Crónicas de Macae
Macaé grew from a minor fishing village into Brazil’s offshore oil capital after Petrobras discovered the Campos Basin fields in the 1970s. The old colonial core around Praça Washington Luís still holds a few 19th-century houses with Portuguese tiles, but most of the city is a functional grid of mid-rise apartments and service blocks thrown up during the boom. Today it’s a hard-working city of 260,000 that lives by the rhythms of the oil rigs – long commutes, cash-heavy economy, and a surprising number of good sushi bars catering to expat engineers.

Guía completa de Macae →Los mejores meses
April to June: autumn brings settled weather, lower humidity and fewer crowds before the winter peak; sea temperatures remain warm enough for swimming.
Peak / Festival Surge
July to August: Brazilian school holidays drive domestic tourism; hotel rates at Hotel Beatrix can double. No major festivals in Macaé itself, but weekend beach traffic from Rio intensifies.
La temporada del hombro
March and November: March catches the tail of summer rain but rates drop sharply; November is spring, quiet and cheap, with daytime highs around 28°C.
Tiempo y embalaje
Macaé gets sudden heavy showers year-round even in dry months – a two-minute downpour can flood a street then vanish. Pack a compact waterproof jacket and quick-dry sandals; leave umbrellas for the hotel lobby.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Macae
- The BR-101 bridge works near Rio Bonito continue to cause weekend delays on the road from Rio de Janeiro to Macaé – allow an extra 45 minutes if driving Friday or Sunday afternoon.
- A new cycle lane along Avenida Atlântica connects the city centre to Praia de Cavaleiros, making the beach stretch safer for cyclists and pedestrians.
- Macaé's municipal market reopened in May 2026 after a refurbishment – good for buying fresh fruit and local shrimp for a self-catered meal.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Beatrix, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor overlooking the rear courtyard (away from Rua Teixeira de Gouveia). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level commotion and the lift noise is less frequent at that height.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the front entrance or the street side. Street noise from Rua Teixeira de Gouveia and foot traffic near the bar area will be noticeable. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor, as the single elevator is audible when operating.
Best views
Rooms at the rear of the hotel look out over a quieter residential area with no main road. From upper floors you get a glimpse of the hills inland rather than the commercial street.
Quietest floors
Third and fourth floors are the quietest, furthest from the lobby, bar, and street.
🔊 Noise notes
Rua Teixeira de Gouveia is a two-way street in the Centro district, carrying local traffic including buses and delivery trucks. The hotel bar on the ground floor can be audible in nearby rooms until around 11pm on weekends. The single lift is a moderate source of motor noise, especially for rooms next to the lift shaft.
Insider tips
1. Book a parking spot in advance – the uncovered lot has only 30 spaces and fills quickly on weekdays by oil company visitors. 2. For a better night’s sleep, pack an eye mask: the terrace floodlights stay on all night and leak through thin curtains in rear-facing rooms.
- 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

Principales atracciones en Macae
💡 Best photo spot is from the side courtyard in late afternoon light, avoiding direct sun on the facade.
💡 Check if the Planetarium next door is open — same building, often free on weekends.
💡 Go early morning to spot locals exercising or grab a coconut water from the beach vendors before the heat sets in.
💡 Visit during the annual Macaé Expo (late August) for free concerts and agricultural displays — otherwise it's very quiet.
💡 The unmarked trail along the western bank starts behind the abandoned petrol station on Estrada da Lagoa. Wear long trousers — ticks and mosquitoes can be bothersome.
