The Property — HOTEL CHALÉS
HOTEL CHALÉS is a functional 3-star in Sorriso’s commercial centre, with concrete-block exteriors, a small outdoor pool, and a buffet breakfast that includes tapioca and fresh fruit. It suits business travellers or stopover guests on the BR-163 route who need reliable air conditioning, free parking, and a lobby that smells of coffee and cleaning products rather than character. You won’t find charm, but you will find a clean room and a receptionist who can point you to the nearest galeto.
Chronicles of Sorriso
Sorriso was founded in the 1970s by settlers from southern Brazil, drawn by cheap land and the promise of soybean wealth. The name means “smile” – a nod to the optimism of those early pioneers. Its architecture is almost entirely utilitarian: wide avenues, concrete ranch-style houses, and clusters of grain silos on the outskirts. Today it calls itself the “agribusiness capital of Mato Grosso” and its identity is defined by the 18‑wheelers hauling soy and corn through town, not by any preserved colonial core. The cultural calendar centres on rodeos and the annual Exposorriso agricultural fair.
Best Time to Visit
Full Sorriso guide →Best months
May to August – dry season guarantees blue skies and temperatures around 30°C, with far fewer mosquitoes. Hotel occupancy dips slightly after the June harvest rush.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak due to school holidays and the Exposorriso fair, which draws crowds from across the state. Hotel prices can jump 30–40%, and the HOTEL CHALÉS fills early. Book by April.
Budget shoulder season
April and September offer lower rates, still-dry weather in April, and September’s rising humidity before the rains return. Fewer road-trippers on the BR-163 mean quieter nights.
Weather & packing
Sorriso’s climate is a sharp wet/dry contrast: from July you get zero rain for weeks straight, but the humidity sits around 60%. Pack a lightweight long-sleeve shirt for evenings – the dry air can feel cool after dark.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to HOTEL CHALÉS, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (4th or 5th floor) for a quieter stay. The hotel's 3-star rating suggests a relatively basic layout, and the floors are likely concrete, which can help reduce noise from the street. The higher floors are likely farther from the street noise, which can be a concern in Sorriso, a city with a mix of traffic and industrial areas nearby.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift and service entrance, as these areas tend to be noisier due to constant activity. Additionally, rooms near the bar area might be a consideration, depending on the hotel's layout and noise policies.
Best views
Unfortunately, with the address being a general 'Sorriso', it's difficult to determine the exact view options. However, a room on a higher floor with a north or east-facing orientation might offer a decent view of the surrounding area.
