Campos do Jordão, São Paulo
With the fresh air and low temperatures of Campos do Jordão, Botanique became a reference in national hospitality, with sustainability as its premise. The 20 accommodations unveil breathtaking views of the mountains of the Serra da Mantiqueira. A jazz bar, restaurant, spa, lounges and the lab space for handling botanical ingredients interact with the nature that preserves the hotel. For anyone looking to bring friends and family together, the villages boast areas of between 100 m2 and 300 m2, a garden, indoor and outdoor bathtubs, a fireplace and veranda overlooking lush woodlands. The cuisine is a chapter in itself, represented by Restaurante Mina, which combines the best of regional cooking. Paragliding, bike rides, horseback riding, yoga, tennis and beach tennis classes, eco-hiking and visits to local productive farms are some of the enjoyable activities. And the all-you-can-drink water, served from one of the property’s seven springs, also deserves a toast.
