Located on a 750-hectare property a few hours from Sao Paulo, this hotel seeks to recreate the glamour of the 50s and 60s. The two wings of the hotel sit on the highest point in the property, overlooking a lake where the sun appears to submerge every evening. On the underground level, you will find that the bar and restaurant extend outside onto a deck that overlooks a lake.

Inside, the unique wood panels and stone walls frame drop-down fireplaces that glow in the open spaces. The hotel is popular with locals who come to play on the two 18-hole golf courses. You can do that too. Or ride horses or take a swim in the 164-foot long pool. The gym and spa are everything you can expect from a luxury resort. The best suite has two stories and an open-air fireplace so you can enjoy the sweet evening as it drops like silk over the magnificent view.
