Quitandinha Palace Congress and Convention Center

The Quitandinha Palace is one of the most beautiful and impressive tourist attractions in the city of Petrópolis: Its construction began in 1941 and was completed in 1944 by entrepreneur Joaquim Rolla to become one of the largest casino-hotels in South America. The palace has 440 apartments, 13 halls measuring up to 10 meters high and a dome in the Mauá Hall measuring 30 meters high and 50 meters in diameter. In addition to the enormous construction, the Quitandinha Palace has a large lake in front of its façade in the shape of a map of Brazil. In the construction of the lake, much of the sand was brought from Copacabana beach. During its period of operation, the hotel welcomed many famous people, such as Henry Fonda, Carmen Miranda, Walt Disney, and politicians such as Getúlio Vargas and Evita Perón. After the ban on casinos in Brazil in 1946, the palace ceased its activities as a casino and operated solely as a hotel.
