Rialto Score 8.5+

Rialto is a Virtuoso agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

Stay at the 183-room Gran Meliá Iguazú and wake up inside one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The only hotel set within Iguazú National Park, it offers a privileged connection with the falls, from an Olympic-sized infinity pool and guest balconies facing the legendary Devil’s Throat to gastronomic venues set beneath glass ceilings that frame the cascades. Rise early for trail access before the park opens to day trippers, and take a helicopter flight at the golden hour. Upgrade to a RedLevel room for uninterrupted thunder-and-mist views from bed, along with private lounge perks.

About Gran Melia Iguazu

Insider tip

A must-do: The Full Moon Tour, a surreal walk along the Devil’s Throat in the moonlight. The tour is available only a few nights each month and sells out quickly, so secure your spot well in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two comes with every stay at this hotel - which could add $50-100/day in value, not counting any other VIP program benefits like room upgrades.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
