What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Much like Salvador, the city it calls home, Aram Yami is an eclectic mix of colonial style and contemporary accents.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet cobblestones line Santo Antônio Além do Carmo, and the colonial plazas of Pelourinho are a fifteen-minute walk away.
The rooms
Suites come with organic Amazonian bath products, and the ground-floor master suite opens onto its own private patio plunge pool.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop plunge pool mirrors the sunset sky and cargo ships drifting along the bay horizon.
At the table
Breakfast is served on the balcony overlooking the bay, and the lounge keeps an honesty bar with a golden counter.
How it began
Architect Juan Piccon Navarro restored the historic townhouse, naming it after the indigenous Tupi-Guarani words for day and night.
