Zank by Toque Hotel

A clifftop boutique hotel in Rio Vermelho, the quieter alternative to Salvador's busy Pelourinho, run by three sisters with a small library of traditional cordel literature tucked inside. The twenty rooms split between a historic building and a newer wing, all hardwood floors, white Egyptian cotton, and picture windows facing the Atlantic. An infinity plunge pool sits on the roof. No guests under 12, which tells you something useful about the vibe.
