The hotel is in the mold of an urban scene with European, notably French inspirations. The Amazonas Opera House is a masterpiece erected in 1896, during the Rubber Boom period in which Manaus experienced the Belle Époque atmosphere.
It is in front of this postcard that Juma Opera presents itself.
A historic high-end boutique hotel that also stands out for the sustainable actions already seen in the jungle lodge (Juma Amazon Lodge), with the use of solar panels for heating water and coatings containing recyclable glass in its composition.
Like other buildings in the historic center of the state capital, built in the midst of the economic heyday, two Juma Opera mansions also resulted from the years of local prosperity.
Listed by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (Iphan), the main house required a meticulous recovery process. The former American president Theodore Roosevelt visited it when it was an American Consulate in the beginning of the 20th century, during his expedition to the Amazon Rainforest with Marshall Rondon.
