The Property — Sheraton
The Vitoria Sheraton is a workaday three-star business hotel, all beige corridors and functional lobby with a check-in desk that doubles as a tour-desk. Its main draw is consistent reliability rather than charm – you get a clean, decent-sized room, a small pool, and a breakfast buffet with passable coffee. Best suited for a one-night stopover or a traveller prioritizing location near the city's commercial centre over atmosphere.
Chronicles of Vitoria
Vitoria was founded in 1551 on an island in Vitoria Bay, initially a fortified Portuguese settlement. Its historic centre retains colonial-era churches and narrow alleys, but the city has grown into a modern port and state capital, with sleek glass towers rising beside favela-covered hillsides. Contemporary Vitoria feels dynamic but unpolished: it’s a hub for steel and coffee exports, with a lively food scene around the Curva da Jurema and beaches that are more functional than scenic. Culturally, the city embraces the congo dance and capoeira, but its identity is more industrious than touristy.
Best Time to Visit
Full Vitoria guide →Best months
April to June offer the sweet spot: cooler, drier weather (25-28°C) and lower humidity, with fewer tourists than in July. September and October come a close second, with spring temperatures and reduced rain.
Peak / festival surge
Peak season is July and December-January. July brings winter school holidays and the Vitoria Jazz Festival, which fills hotels and pushes rates 30-40% above off-peak. January is peak beach season, though the city is not a beach destination; prices rise anyway due to general travel demand.
Budget shoulder season
March and November are the best budget months. Rain still falls but is less intense, crowds are thin, and hotel rates drop 20-30% below peak. The weather is pleasant enough for walks along the Camburi boardwalk.
Weather & packing
Vitoria’s climate is tropical but not extreme: July afternoons can hit 30°C, but evenings drop to 18°C. Pack light, breathable layers – a short-sleeve shirt plus a thin jumper or jacket for evenings – and always carry a small umbrella for sudden coastal showers.
Live City Briefing — Vitoria
- The city’s new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, Linha Azul, entered full service in late 2025, easing traffic on the main Avenida Nossa Senhora da Penha. The line runs from the airport to the city centre, making it a cheaper alternative to taxis.
- The Vitoria Jazz Festival runs 15-20 July 2026, with free concerts in the Parque Moscoso and ticketed acts at the Teatro Sesi. Book early if you want a room; the Sheraton is a 10-minute walk from the park.
- Beach water quality along Camburi remains variable after summer rains; check the weekly bulletin ‘Água da Praia’ on the state environment agency’s site before swimming.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sheraton, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 5-8, facing away from Avenida Desembargador Santos Neves towards the quieter side (likely the rear or east side). These mid-high floors balance quietness with lift access, avoiding street-level noise and offering better air circulation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1-3, especially those facing the avenue, as street noise and hotel lobby footfall will be highest. Rooms near the lift shaft on any floor can also have mechanical hum — ask for a room at the end of the corridor.
Best views
Rooms facing the rear or east side offer views of the surrounding residential area or maybe a glimpse of the hills; the front (avenue side) gives urban street views, which are not especially scenic but show city life.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 through 8, which are above the main restaurant/bar area (usually on floor 2-3) and below the top floors where service equipment might be. The address is a busy avenue, so higher floors reduce traffic rumble.
🔊 Noise notes
Avenida Desembargador Santos Neves is a main arterial road in Vitoria with traffic noise peaking during rush hours (7-9am, 5-7pm). Occasional sirens from emergency vehicles heading to nearby hospitals or stations. The hotel bar on floor 2 or 3 can add low music until late on weekends.
Insider tips
1. When checking in, request a room on the 'quiet side' — staff know the layout well. 2. If you have a car, park in the hotel's own lot rather than the street; the lot is safe but tight — book ahead if possible.
- 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 major banks like Banco do Brasil or Bradesco; avoid exchange bureaux at airports or tourist areas as they give poor rates.
Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, including contactless; mobile pay (Apple Pay/Google Pay) works in many places, but always carry some cash for smaller vendors.
Restaurants often include a 10% service charge; if not, 10% is standard for good service. Taxis and hotel staff do not expect tips, but rounding up is appreciated.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A small espresso (cafezinho) from a padaria (bakery) or street kiosk costs around R$4–5.
A prato feito (set meal of rice, beans, meat, and salad) at a self-service restaurant costs R$20–30.
A main dish at a simple local restaurant, like a grilled meat or fish with sides, runs about R$25–40.
Look for pastel (fried pastries) filled with meat or cheese from market stalls, or acarajé near the beach and Praia do Canto areas.
Supermarkets like Carrefour Express, Extra, and Supermercados BH are common for everyday groceries.
For affordable clothing, head to the shopping centres like Shopping Vitória or the street markets (feiras) around Av. Beira Mar for informal stalls.
The cheapest way is the bus system (Transcol) with a single fare about R$4.50 — get a rechargeable card (Cartão GV). From Vitória airport (Eurico de Aguiar Salles), catch the regular airport bus for around R$10–15.
Eat at lunchtime when portions are larger and cheaper (prato feito); fill a reusable bottle at public water fountains or cafe taps to avoid buying bottled water; use night-time bus rates if travelling after 9pm as they are slightly cheaper.

Top Attractions in Vitoria
💡 Tours run hourly, but the best one is at 11am—the guide is often a history student who tells you the less-sanitised stories of the Inquisition in the cells. No need to book, but you need ID to enter.
💡 Mass is at 6pm on weekdays—you can sit in and hear the choir practising before it starts, which is better than the actual service. Donations optional, but they appreciate it.
💡 Free guided tours in Portuguese happen at 10am and 3pm. Ask at the desk for an English pamphlet—they have them, but don't leave them on display. The rooftop cafe is cheap and has decent coffee.
💡 Bring mosquito repellent—it's serious here. The entrance is easy to miss; look for the blue gate on Rua Fonte Grande. No water fountains inside, so bring your own.
💡 Go early on a weekday—before 9am—to avoid the tour buses and have the viewpoint mostly to yourself. Wear shoes for the steep walking path or catch the shuttle for a small fee.
