The former seat of the Episcopal Palace, City of Princes (a dowry from Dom Pedro I to the Prince of Joinville, François Ferdinand Phillipe de Orleans, son of the king of France for marrying Princess Francisca Carolina, sister of Emperor Dom Pedro II) was restored to house the Anthurium Parque Hotel. The original façade is from the beginning of the last century and ornamentation with features of barroque Mineiro in the neo-colonial style unites history and culture with comfort of modern hospitality.

Situated in the central region of the largest city in Santa Catarina, the Anthurium offers 46 apartments thoughtfully decorated in three guests´ categories, all equipped with cable TV and wireless internet. The highlight goes to the suites with whirlpool baths.

The name of the hotel comes from the flower Anthurium and from the title of “City of Flowers” conferred by the then President, Afonso Pena. These are present in their gardens beautifying every detail of the Hotel. Several fruit trees compose this small bush which surrounds the swimming pool. With this view, the guests can savour the delicious, home-made breakfast on the climatized Bistro Veranda, where on winter nights a Fondue Festival is offered, renowned throughout beautiful Santa Catarina.
