Zank by Toque Hotel — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Salvador

I got to admit that when I first arrived in Salvador at this hotel in the Rio Vermelho hotel i felt uneasy and uncomfortable. ||It was xmas day and eerily quiet everywhere, hardly any guest or people around. I guess also the bad press Salvador gets made me very cautious.The front of the hotel housing the reception and bar is very colonial and beautiful but the actual hotel is an ugly 70s high rise attached. It looks a bit run down and scruffy everywhere, with great design elements and furniture and then a really twee ugly restaurant with covered benches reminding me of the London Underground....hahaha||||Anyway i did settle in and ended up really enjoying the peace and quiet of the lovely rooftop terrace and pool a lot. breakfast was actually delicious and all the lunches we ordered by the pool were also really good. ||Staff were friendly and helpful and we organized a sailing trip to a nearby island which was a little disappointing as we actually didnt sail - just used the motor- and only went to one island instead of two, should have researched that better.||I ended up falling in love with Salvador and especially loved the half day tour the hotel recommended with the fabulous Sayuri Koshima. Well...

Zank is a wonderful upscale boutique hotel in the Bohemian neighborhood of Rio Vermelho in Salvador, perched on a terraced hill, the view is amazing! Service is excellent, with only 20 rooms, it allows you and the hospitality staff to connect. It feels very stylish, comfortable and modern.

There is a roof top pool for sunbathing and taking in the view of the ocean. Zank's location puts you just a short walk to many night clubs and restaurants plus the beach. However, the hill is very steep on the return, so beware. kkkk. Breakfast is the highlight! A wonderful fresh selection of breads, cakes, fruits, omelets.

Zank's rooms are stylish minimalist in the modern annex, and Portuguese colonial in the main house, which is a fabulously restored 100 year old mansion. Zank is a great place for couples or a wellness retreat. There are no small children under the age of 14 allowed, it's perfect for an...

Zank is a small boutique hotel located in the Rio Vermelho neighborhood in Salvador. It is made of 2 buildings: an old mansion (built in 1906) and a new building, which has more rooms, a gym and a rooftop swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Zank is part of “Roteiros de Charme” Hotel Association, and all of their hotels that I’ve stayed in are lovely, but this was so far the nicest. ||We stayed in the old building and the room was possibly the nicest hotel room I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. The king-sized bed and linens were very comfortable; there was a clawfoot tub in the middle of the room that was just so decadently lovely (the room also has a shower).||Breakfast was served on the veranda overlooking the beach below; it was very good. ||All of the staff were excellent, and really go the extra mile, but the bartender Domingos and bellman Cesar were...
