Botanique Hotel & Spa Est. 2012
Rua Elídio Gonçalves da Silva, 4000, Campos do Jordão - State of São Paulo, Brazil
The near 1,000m2 spa, designed by forward-thinking Sao Paulo architects Coletivo de Arquitetos, is spread across two floors decked with the indigenous tropical hardwood itauba. There are eight treatment rooms – four for wet treatments and four for dry treatments, relaxation suites, saunas, an indoor pool and an outside pool surrounded by a swimmable lake and resting area.
Botanique Spa is the first 100% Brazilian spa with products that contain locally sourced ingredients, including 28 essential oils for treatments. Many of the signature treatments and water-based therapies incorporate traditional Afro-Brazilian and native Indian healing and relaxation rituals while others are more modern in their approach. One such treatment is the floatation experience for which clients are immersed in a salt-water tub while a film with calming images of nature is projected onto the ceiling. The hotel also has a fully equipped gym and outdoor fitness pavilion with an exercise programme that includes Brazilian martial arts such as capoeira.
- The Scene:
- Nestled in the Mantiqueira Mountains, a short drive from Campos do Jordão in southeastern Brazil, Botanique Hotel & Spa is a luxurious countryside retreat where striking contemporary architecture blends seamlessly with the lush natural landscape.
Built from indigenous materials such as jacaranda, natural stone, and chocolate slate, the property consists of 17 rooms. 6 Suites in the main building and 11 private villas sprinkled around the hills. A mix of glass walls, exposed steel, and reclaimed wooden beams, it's rustic chic interiors are brimming with unique art and designer pieces.
Perched on the edge of a cliff, the exquisite restaurant serves modern Brazilian cuisine and artisanal wines around a suspended fireplace, while the spa, complete with an indoor isotonic pool and a state-of-the-art floating chamber, offers exceptional Brazilian treatments and therapies. - Design:
- Designed by leading Sao Paulo architectural firm Candida Tabet Arquitetura, Botanique Hotel & Spa favours space and provides a tranquil environment for guests to switch off. The property is made up of six spacious suites connected to the main building and eleven private villas with up to 600m2 of private gardens scattered across 7000m2 of lush vegetation. The main building is the centrepiece of the property and houses a spectacular lounge, a cinema, a library with over 400 titles, all by Brazilian authors, and the hotel’s fine dining restaurant Mina. To maintain the hotel’s peaceful ambiance, a 1km non-motorized zone loops the property.
Locally sourced chocolate slate, mined just once every 17 months, along with three tonne boulders from the adjacent river have been used to create the hotel’s bearing walls with huge glass panels forming the rest of the construct to evoke a sense of ‘outdoors inside’. Other features include exposed steel and massive wooden beams reclaimed from 19th century farms in nearby Minas Gerais.
The restaurant building is dramatically perched on a mountain ridge for an uninterrupted 180˚ view of Campos do Jordao’s valleys and mountains. The restaurant also includes an adjoining hillside terrace with natural awnings and a showpiece suspended fireplace for cozy evening dining. - Standout Venue Features:
- Each of the design elements at Botanique Hotel & Spa - from the choice of building materials to the interiors and unique services on offer - has been thoughtfully handpicked to offer guests a true insight into the Brazilian way of life. Commitment to Brazil’s topography, native traditions, art and contemporary culture is realised through the founders’ selection of an all-Brazilian roster of collaborators and contributors.
