What changes under Brazil's new lodging rules (2025-2026)?
The new regulation of Brazil's General Tourism Law (Law 14,978/2024), detailed in MTur Ordinance 28/2025, sets out important changes for hotels, inns and other lodging across the country. The rules took effect on 15 December 2025 and update daily rates, times, cleaning and the digital guest register.
1. A 24-hour day — the daily rate now covers a full 24 hours. Within that period up to 3 hours may be used to clean and prepare the room, which guarantees the guest at least 21 hours of actual use. Those hours are already included in the rate and cannot be charged separately.
2. More flexible check-in and check-out — hotels may set arrival and departure times freely, as long as they inform guests and partners clearly and in advance. Early check-in or late check-out may carry an extra charge, provided it is disclosed beforehand.
3. A cap on cleaning time between stays — at most 3 hours between one stay and the next, including fresh bed linen and towels, at no extra cost. Guests may decline housekeeping as long as they say so explicitly.
4. Digital National Guest Register (FNRH) — paper forms give way to a single digital system (SNRHos), with online pre-check-in by QR code or link. From 20 April 2026 lodging providers report booking, guest, check-in and check-out data to MTur. Records must be kept for at least 5 years and handled under Brazil's data protection law.
5. Other measures — Fungetur financing now requires compliance with the Inclusion Law and accessibility standards; the General Tourism Law modernises the rules for digital lodging platforms; workplace standard NR-1 was updated; and in case of overbooking the hotel must accommodate the guest at an equal or better establishment in the same area and cover the transfer.
Is there parking at the hotel?
Yes, subject to availability. The Gallant has parking on the premises for guests arriving by car.
