Pelourinho is a natural choice for first-time travelers in Salvador. The historic district with strong Afro-Brazilian roots, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (and once the site of a pillory, or pelourinho) draws visitors from the world over, who find plenty of attractions to explore along the neighborhood's cobblestone streets.
Staying in one of the area's hotels means easy access on foot to churches, museums, handicraft stores, capoeira and musical performances in the street and row after row of ancient buildings.
Pelourinho has from boutique hotels and pousadas to hostels; here's a roundup of places to stay in the area.
For charming places to stay in Pelourinho and other neighborhoods, see this guide to best luxury and boutique hotels in Salvador.
Where is Pelourinho?
Pelourinho, or the Historic Center, is a specific area of Salvador contained within a larger region known as Centro Antigo, or Old Center. With an area of 7 square kilometers, Centro Antigo comprises 11 districts: Pelourinho, Centro, Barris, Tororó, Nazaré, Saúde, Barbalho, Macaúbas, part of Liberdade, Santo Antônio and Comércio. All those districts are included in a rehabilitation plan resulting from a collaboration involving Federal, State and Municipal spheres of government in a partnership with UNESCO.
Pelourinho has an area of 0.8 square kilometers, contained between Mosteiro de São Bento and the Santo Antônio Além do Carmo Fort. Pelourinho Cultural, part of Bahia State's Culture Secretariat, has a simplified online map of the historic district; when in Salvador, ask for another map with an attraction guide, available at SATs (Tourist Information Service offices) such as the one at the International Airport or the one in Pelourinho itself (at Terreiro de Jesus between Rua Laranjeiras and Rua João de Deus).

2. Casa do Amarelindo
Check Rates
Highly recommended by Brazil pousada pro Alison McGowan of Hidden Pousadas Brazil, who calls it "an oasis of luxury and calm", Casa do Amarelindo is great for honeymoons and romantic getaways.
Only guests 14 and older can stay at the pousada, which has only 10 guest rooms decorated with Bahian flair (most afford a view of Baia de Todos os Santos).
A bistro, a bar, a pool and a rooftop terrace are the main amenities.

Rua das Laranjeiras is also home to Muzenza, a Bloco Afro, and the Laranjeiras Hostel.
4. Pousada Solar dos Deuses
Check Rates
The gods - deuses - in the name of the pousada are the orixás (pronouced o-ri-SHAS), deities in the Candomblé religion. Each of the seven suites is named after one of them and decorated in colors referring to their animistic traits.
In the Xangô suite, red predominate: Xangô is orixá associated with fire. The green evocative of Oxóssi, who rules over forests, sets the tone in the namesake suite (photo).
All the suites have 26-inch LCD-screen TVs, cable, a telephone, a mini refrigerator, A/C, internet access and a digital safe.
Breakfast is served in the rooms; snacks and caipirinhas can be ordered in room service.

5. Bahiacafé Hotel
Check Rates
July 30, 2013 Update: The hotel doesn't have a website of its own right now.
A long-time fave of foreign travelers, Bahiacafé is smoothly run. A good breakfast, pleasant common areas and helpful staff consistently have earned it a good reputation through the years.
The location is a historical building on Praça da Sé, a square with heavy pedestrian presence on the edge of Pelourinho close to Elevador Lacerda, the City Hall and the Rio Branco Palace.

Pelô Pousada also networks with other places to stay to help guests find a bed during Carnival, and rents out a thatched hut in Arembepe, a famous hippie beach north of Salvador.

text: Dixie's mom says: Dixie is a blue merle mini Australian shepherd who has become the center of attention at our house. My husband and I went to pick out a puppy from a breeder in Oklahoma, and despite their attempts to steer us toward a calmer, gentler little boy puppy, I'd already fallen in love with Dixie's precious little face from the pictures I'd seen of her. I wanted to name her Stella, but we quickly realized that Stella was far too tame, so my husband came up with Dixie. (However, we end up calling her "Stinker" most of the time.) She is full of energy; I have yet to see another dog outlast her. And she is smart as a whip; training has been a breeze. She loves a good belly rub and riding in the car with her head out the window, and she is determined to make our two cats her best friends, although they won't hear of such a thing. She noses our heels as we walk, and she follows us from room to room to keep an eye on her "herd" at all times. Last December we adopted a standard Aussie, Belle, and she tolerates Dixie's incessant attempts to play with the utmost patience and grace. They are two peas in a pod, and they have filled our lives with far more joy than we ever imagined. If Dixie's first year is any sign of things to come, we're one lucky family to have this little lady in our life.
