Additional transaction fees may apply for local residents. Guests may also be subject to additional taxes, which may vary by city and hotel. Information about the fees charged must be clarified with the accommodation facility. According to the Brazilian Federal Law 8.069/1990, minors under 18 years of age cannot check into hotels unless they are accompanied by their parents or a designated adult. If the minor is accompanied by an adult other than his parents, it will be necessary to present a written authorisation for the minor to check into the hotel. Such authorisation must be notarised and signed by both parents. All minors under 18 years of age also need to present a valid ID with photo, to prove their identity and that of his/her parents. This must be presented even if a minor is accompanied by his/her parents. Please note that, upon check in, a credit card has to be present in order to guarantee extras expenses.
