Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to WK Design Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th or 5th floor) to minimize potential street noise from R. Bocaiúva, as it's a relatively busy street in the city center. Since the hotel has 5 floors, consider rooms 401-405 for a quieter stay. The hotel's lift is located at the back of the hotel, which should reduce noise disturbance.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the lift (e.g., 101-105) might experience more noise due to the lift's location and potential foot traffic.
Best views
Rooms on the 4th or 5th floor offer a view of the surrounding cityscape, but note that the hotel's address on R. Bocaiúva is not directly on a waterfront or major landmark, so views may not be spectacular.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Florianopolis Airport → Pousada Drops de Aniz
💡 Airport Uber has a separate pick-up zone to the right of the main exit. 99Pop is usually 15–20% cheaper but drivers are less likely to accept the long route. On peak summer weekends, double the estimated time.
Florianopolis Airport (Hercílio Luz) → Pousada Drops de Aniz (Praia Brava)
💡 Buy a fixed-price voucher at the airport booth right after baggage claim to avoid surge or meter games. The trip north is about 45km—longer if traffic hits the bridges.
TICEN (Central Bus Terminal, Florianopolis centre) → Praia Brava (final stop, 200m from pousada)
💡 This air-conditioned line runs via the north coast and drops you right at the beach. Buy a rechargeable bus card at TICEN—cash is not accepted onboard. Don't take the cheaper 331; it's slower and stops further inland.
Florianopolis Airport → Praia Brava (hotel drop-off)
💡 These vans run from the airport exit and serve the north beaches. Look for the 'Praia Brava' sign. They're cheaper than a taxi and almost as fast, but don't accept credit cards inside the van—carry small notes in reais.

Top Attractions in Florianopolis
💡 Try the oyster bar at Box 42. Six oysters cost about R$15. Avoid the souvenir stalls outside—they mark up prices for tourists.
💡 For the best free view, hike the short trail up Morro da Lagoa at sunset. The path starts behind the church in the village centre.
💡 Arrive before 10am on weekends to get a parking spot near the dunes. Bring sunscreen and water; there are few shade options.
💡 Combine this with a walk along the nearby Praia do Forte beach. On clear days you can see the mainland mountains. Bring a picnic; there are benches on the fortress walls.
💡 Entry costs R$10 (about £1.50). Go early morning or late afternoon when the light is golden and the sand is cool. The trail to the ocean lookout is 1.5km and takes about 30 minutes.
