Maison Joly on Ilha Bela
Ilha Bela is an island roughly 250 km South-East from Sao Paulo, covered with tropical forest and popular among the Brazilian jet-set. Hotels on the Island tend to attract high-end clients. Maison Joly is without any doubt the most exclusive accommodation on the island (one of the best in Brazil!). With just 10 rooms and located on an superb, privilaged location, 80 meters above sea level, privacy for its guests is guaranteed. All rooms of face the sea and provide marvelous views over the island.

Each room is unique: there might be a piano, or a fireplace; a lunette or a snooker table. In some of them there are easels and painting material, aromatized bathrooms, verandas with coconut trees.
The restaurant was elected as one of the best in Brazil by a national guide called "Guia 4 Rodas", and it is headed by the owner Junior Joly and his team of trained staff, resulting in quality and refinement.


Ecoresort in Praia de Forte

Praia do Forte lies approximately 90 km north of Salvador and has been a remote fisherman's village on the coconut lined coast. The last decades the little village has made fame as an ecological, high-end destination.

Hotel Unique in São Paulo
São Paulo is Brazil's biggest city and offers the best restaurants in South America, luxury shops in abundance and some of the best hotels in Brazil. There is a wide choice on 5-star hotels in São Paulo, but our personal preference and one of our clients favorites is the hotel Unique. With its bizar architecture pre-eminently representing the spirit of São Paulo; dynamic and extravagant.
Its desing is a reference in modern architecture and originality. Uniques spacey, green copper facade alone makes this hotel unlike any other. Hotel Unique offers 95 carefully designed rooms and suites on six floors with large circular windows offering views of Ibirapuera Park or the Jardins residential area. Furthermore the hotel offers a lobby bar, cyber café, fitness center with pool, sauna, gym and personal trainers, a library, non-smoking facilities and a modern and well-equipped event centre for up to 1200 people.
The rooftop terrace displays amazing views of the city, especially at night the views and atmosphere of the "sky-bar" are extra-ordinary and in fact shouldn't be missed by anyone visiting the city of São Paulo!

Hotel Unique is strategically situated between the Avenida Paulista, Brazils financial heart, and São Paulo's downtown airport Congonhas.


Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro

Built in 1923 for the visiting king of Belgium, this was the first luxury hotel in South America. It has been designed by the French architect Joseph Gire, who was inspired by two hotels, the Negresco in Nice and the Carlton in Cannes. To this day it is Rio's most elegant accomodation. In fact the Copacabana hardly needs an introduction, a glance through the pages of the Copacabana Palace's golden book is enough to confirm the hotel's status among the world's great hotels. Igor Stravinsky, Marlene Dietrich, Orson Welles, Eva Pero, Robert De Niro, and Princess Di are just a few of the luminaries who have stayed here. The hotel served as the set for much of the 1933 Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film Flying Down to Rio.

The Hotel occupies an area of over 12.000 square meters of some of the most expensive and sought after real estate in Brazil. The Copacabana Palace has 225 bedrooms and suites.

Recently a face-lift restored its facade and left the individually decorated guest rooms with such luxurious touches as inlaid agate and mahogany; and computer, fax, and modem facilities. Some of the facilities offered by the hotel are a rooftop tennis court, two restaurants; The Pergula situated by the pool area where guests may enjoy breakfast, buffet lunch, dinner or refreshments, and the Cipriani restaurant, rated among the city's best, offering a selection of Northern Italian cuisine, Rio's largest hotel pool (semi-Olympic size), fitness centre, beauty salon, and even a lot more!
