Thomasi Hotel Maringá, for dining out

The Thomasi is in the small Londrina commuter town of Maringá, about 40 minutes’ drive from the city. It’s a comfortable affair, done out in corporate-cool style. Rooms come in a palette of browns and taupes, with polished floor tiles and small windows overlooking the busy Avenida Colombo highway, which connects Maringá with Londrina. A large buffet breakfast is included in the price, and the hotel has a spa with heated jacuzzis overlooking an outdoor pool and a restaurant. If you fancy dining out, you needn’t go far, as there’s a choice of dining spots a 10-minute drive away.
