Hotel Luxsur

Encarnación · 40 rooms

A quirky four-star hotel where most of the 40 rooms have their own theme, with a rooftop pool and city views.

Encarnación is a cheerful city on the Paraná River, facing Posadas in Argentina, and one of Paraguay's most welcoming. The Costanera, a long riverside promenade with sandy beaches, is the center of summer life, and the old town has been rebuilt after the flooding caused by the Yacyretá dam. It is the main base for the Jesuit missions of Trinidad and Jesús de Tavarangüe.
