Oi Bahia!! The Red Fish Hotel in Salvador

The Red Fish Hotel in Salvador is a charming, colonial style guesthouse located in the heart of the historical district of the city of Salvador, Bahia. It is owned by Charles Butler, a British artist, who has taken great care with every single detail of the hotel. For example, decorative red fish can be found everywhere - sculpted in the iron work, painted on all of the furniture, hanging by the front gate, etc. The red fish theme throughout the pousada is fabulous!!

We were lucky enough to spend two nights enjoying the colorful cheerfulness of this unique small hotel. The students loved the colors, the art work, the terraces and balconies ... Most of all, they loved all of the people-watching opportunities (and people-greeting opportunities) which their open windows provided. Ms. Haley and I shared one of the two large rooms located on the third floor of the Red Fish. Not only did we enjoy our beautiful terrace but we also loved our ocean view and the view of the street below. We will return to the Red Fish hotel for our last night in Brazil. What a fantastic place to stay!!
