Tivoli Mofarrej
Location
São Paulo, Brazil

Tivoli Mofarrej is a low-rise urban oasis in the upscale Jardins district of São Paulo, amid leafy, tree-lined streets in the heart of this burgeoning city. Tivoli Mofarrej’s optimal location offers unmatched access to the cultural capital of South America. The 23-story tower overlooks the gardens and sculptures of Trianon Park, and a block away is bustling Avenida Paulista, where a short walk leads to the world-renowned Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP). But just as notably, Tivoli Mofarrej is a luxury retreat unto itself. Named one of the "Top 20 Hotels in South America" in Conde Nast Traveler's Readers’ Choice Awards and rated among the top 1% of the best hotels in the world by TripAdvisor, Tivoli Mofarrej is an ideal sanctuary to start and end your journey.

The hotel’s 218 earth-toned rooms are flooded with natural light and decorated with contemporary finishes and orchid arrangements. Each room is equipped with black-out curtains, air conditioning, an executive desk, mini bar, safe, and spacious bathroom with hair dryer, robe and toiletries. The Nespresso machine and Brazilian-themed turndown service (Havaianas flip-flops and a chocolate-honey pão de mel) add a special touch. 

The hotel lobby is designed as a glass-enclosed greenhouse, showcasing the lush vegetation outside and an array of flowers and palms indoors. Garage-style windows open to walls of ferns at the Must Bar, where you can order a craft cocktail and listen to live jazz with a view on the outdoor swimming pool. Then head on up to our welcome dinner at the hotel restaurant and bar, Seen, which features a nearly 360° panorama of São Paulo’s sparkling skyline. Before departure, enjoy an indulgent breakfast buffet with croissants, eggs and French pastries. And, if time permits, during your stay, take a dip in the pool, relax on a daybed, visit the gym, or book an appointment at the Thai-influenced Anantara Spa.




Araras Ecolodge
Location
North Pantanal, Brazil

Araras Ecolodge is located in the northern sector of the Pantanal, the primary wildlife sanctuary on the South American continent. Situated in an environment of mixed habitats and rare biodiversity, the lodge was built in harmony with its surroundings and is accessible via the Transpantaneira park road, 83 miles south of Cuiabá, the capital of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. Regional rustic style defines the lodge accommodations, and a simple, homey atmosphere prevails in its 19 guest rooms and shared spaces. Rooms have air conditioning with screened windows, ceiling fans and private bathrooms with cold and hot shower. Meals are served in the dining room or on the covered outdoor terrace adjacent to the swimming pool. The bar offers refreshing drinks, and hammocks invite relaxing on the large tiled veranda. Indoors, guests will find a reading room, gift shop and conference room for naturalist presentations. Food at Araras is a highlight, with delicious regional cuisine featuring locally raised meat and fresh fish from Pantanal waters, as well as organic salads, vegetables, seasonal fruits and fresh juices. Activities around the lodge include Jeep photo safaris, nature trails that offer close-up views of Pantanal flora and fauna, and canoe excursions along placid channels.
Hotel Pantanal Norte
Location
Porto Jofre, Brazil

The Hotel Pantanal Norte lies in the heart of the Pantanal's best jaguar habitat. The family-run hotel was once the site of a small farm, run by the owner's grandparents. Its remote location was legendary for fishing, and as its reputation grew, so did the number of friends who wanted to stay in order to fish. And that's the beginning of what became the Hotel Pantanal Norte. While the hotel still attracts avid fishermen, it is also perfectly sited for jaguar tracking and wildlife viewing along the rivers that lace the region. The hotel, while simple, is bright, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Rooms in bungalow blocks front the river or flowering gardens, shaded beneath leafy trees. Abundant birds, including hyacinth macaws and toucans, frequent the grounds. A swimming pool, game room and pool tables offer recreation after boat safaris. On boat rides into the watery wilderness, look for jaguars, of course, but also for giant otters, caimans, capybara, sloths, monkeys and more.
Caiman Ecological Refuge
Location
Pantanal, Brazil

One of the most impressive ecolodges in the world, Caiman Ecological Refuge is part of a renowned private research, conservation and ecotourism initiative. Located deep within the southern Pantanal inside an enormous private reserve, the pousada offers comfortable accommodations, a broad slate of ecological activities, and by far the best wildlife viewing in the area. The ecolodge lies at the heart of a 130,000-acre sustainable cattle ranch that exudes the distinctive local cowboy culture, reflecting 200 years of melded Portuguese, indigenous and Paraguyan traditions. The lodge was the first ecotourism operation in the region and remains a conservation leader. When the refuge was established, 10 percent of the ranch acreage was set aside as a private conservation area, off limits to cattle but open to visitors. The protected area, chosen with the aid of research scientists from the University of Sao Paulo, is remarkably diverse, with habitats encompassing wooded and scrubby savanna, open pasture, stands of caranda palm, hammock forests, streams and seasonal channels – all providing sustenance for numerous Pantanal species.  The result is the very best and most exclusive wildlife-viewing experience in all the Pantanal.
