Hotels and platforms must explain abusive accommodation prices during the presidential inauguration period in Brasília

Hotels and platforms were notified by the National Consumer Secretariat (Senacon) to provide clarifications about the abusive prices for accommodation in Brasília during the period of the presidential inauguration.

According to Senacon, on Monday (9), companies will have five working days to present the required information. Failure to comply with notifications may result in administrative sanctions and liability for the crime of disobedience.

The Windsor, Meliá Brasil 21, The Union and H Plus hotels, and the Airbnb and Booking platforms were notified.

Senacon says it requested information from hotels about the amounts charged from January 1st to 10th, 2027 and the rates charged in the same period in 2026.

Hotels must also explain the difference in prices between the two periods, including the percentage of adjustment, the criteria used to define the values and supporting documents.

"If there has been no price increase, hotels must expressly inform the situation", says Senacon.

From Airbnb and Booking, Senacon says it requested information on the price variation of accommodations advertised in Brasília for the period from January 1st to 10th, 2027, compared to nearby periods.

They must also explain:

how daily rates are defined and changed, including the participation of hosts and the company in this process;

whether tools, automated resources or recommendations are offered to set or adjust prices according to demand, seasonality or events;

whether they monitor or adopt measures in the face of high increases in the prices charged by hosts.
