Although Gran Marquise claims to be a “luxury 5* hotel”, it fails from being one. (I have to admit, though, that it probably is one of the best options around in the city of Fortaleza). Location is good, right in Avenida Beira Mar (the place to stay in town). I stayed there twice for business. Check in was ok. Rooms... More

I have stayed there for the last 10 years and although the hotel chain has changed 2 or 3 times, there is still some old employes and the hotel has kept the nice and friendly environment. The view is great.

The hotel is beautiful and the restaurants great but the pool area is too small and there is not much for kids to do! Good thing is by Beira Mar.

Experience in this hotel was very positive. Staff is very sympathetic and kind. The room is big and comfortable. We were well served on all of our demands. Breakfast is great and assorted. Location also is very good, in front of the beach, very close to Cocobambu restaurant and 1km distant from Meireles handicraft fair. A experiência no hotel foi... More

I was given a smoking room (yuck!) which was a bit worn and had mildew in the shower. Overall, it was a nice hotel, but not a 5... More

Stayed at the Gran Marquise for two weekday nights in September, 2011. Outstanding service, and good location. I had no trouble getting taxis to anywhere in the city, and the beachfront room I had was large and scrupulously clean. Highly recommended. I had no problem sleeping. The restaurant on the mezzanine floor had good food, and the service was attentive.

I am just back from a really quick one day stay at the Gran Marquise. Location is good but I would say it could be better if you are on a vacation trip, as there are other sections of the beach with more restaurants and touristic sites. Staff really try hard to provide a good service, and in my case... More

A decent value for the location and the staff is very helpful/professional...however the rooms are a bit worn down....overall more pros than cons
