The Property — Hotel Metrópole
Hotel Metrópole is a functional, no-frills three-star in the centre of Uberaba. The lobby is modest but clean, with a reception desk that works efficiently and a small seating area. It suits travellers who need a reliable, affordable base for a night or two while exploring the city’s cattle and cultural scenes. Not a boutique escape, but a solid, honest stopover.
Chronicles of Uberaba
Uberaba was founded in the early 19th century as a staging post for gold shipments from Goiás to São Paulo. It grew rich on cattle ranching and became Brazil’s leading hub for zebu breeding, a status cemented by the creation of the Associação Brasileira dos Criadores de Zebu (ABCZ) in 1934. The city’s architecture is a mix of Neoclassical and mid-century Modernist blocks, reflecting its boom-and-bust cycles. Today, it positions itself as the country’s ‘zebu capital’, home to Expozebu, the world’s largest zebu cattle fair. Culturally, it has a proud country-music scene and a laid-back, conservative feel.
Best Time to Visit
Full Uberaba guide →Best months
May, August, September — dry season, temperatures in the low-20s to mid-20s °C, and hotel rates are moderate. Good for exploring the city’s parks and nearby waterfalls without rain interruptions.
Peak / festival surge
April to May — Expozebu draws tens of thousands of visitors, driving hotel prices up by 50–100%. The city gets very busy with ranchers, traders and tourists. If not attending the fair, avoid these dates.
Budget shoulder season
June and July — still dry and pleasant, but after the fair, demand drops sharply. Rates often drop by 20–30%, and you’ll have museums and restaurants to yourself.
Weather & packing
Uberaba sits at 800m altitude, so nights can be surprisingly cool even in the dry winter months (June–July). Pack a light jacket or fleece for evenings, plus a sun hat and sunscreen for the strong daytime UV.
Live City Briefing — Uberaba
- Expozebu 2026 is confirmed for 27 April–4 May; check for road closures around the ABCZ park.
- A new direct bus service from Uberaba to Uberlândia airport started in March 2026, reducing transfer time to 90 minutes.
- July is the dry season — expect zero rain but very low humidity, so bring moisturiser and lip balm.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Metrópole, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor facing the inner courtyard (away from the main street). These upper floors are quieter and get more natural light, while the courtyard orientation blocks road noise from the Avenida. The 5th floor is top-floor and often less foot traffic overhead.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 and 2, especially those facing the street. Ground-floor rooms pick up street noise, lobby chatter, and possibly kitchen or service sounds. Second floor can still catch traffic rumble and lift machinery noise if the lift is close by.
Best views
Rooms on the 5th floor facing the street offer a wide view over the city skyline and possibly the surrounding hills of Uberaba, but you'll trade peace for panorama. Better: courtyard-facing upper floors give a green view of the patio without traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the quietest—furthest from street level and away from common areas. The 5th floor should be particularly calm if there's no rooftop bar.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main avenue in central Uberaba, so expect traffic hum from around 6am to 8pm weekdays. Buses and motorcycles are loud on these streets. The lift has a mechanical clunk that can be heard in adjacent rooms, especially on lower floors. Weekend noise may be lower but can spike with bar or event crowds nearby.
Insider tips
1. If you have a car, check if the hotel has free or discounted parking—many 3-star hotels in Uberaba offer an affiliated lot. 2. Request a room number ending in an even digit (often facing the quieter side). 3. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper; the street noise is persistent.
- 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

Top Attractions in Uberaba
💡 Stand at the fountain and look southeast at 5pm — the low sun lights up the cathedral facade perfectly for a photo without a filter.
💡 Try the queijo minas padrão at Stall 14 — it's the creamiest. Bring cash; cards are not always accepted.
💡 Go on a weekday morning — the staff often let you into the garden courtyard, which is usually locked. Ask at reception.
💡 The canteen near the lake sells cheap, fresh coconut water. Avoid weekends after 10am when it gets crowded with families.
💡 Combine with a walk around the adjacent Parque do Sabiá — free entry, good birdwatching. The museum is tiny, so allow 40 minutes max.
