Hotel Reopening

Opening in spring 2021: Six Senses comes to Brazil for the first time

Six Senses is about to make its debut in Brazil: In spring 2021, the former Botanique Hotel & Spa is to reopen as “Six Senses Botanique, Brazil”. The first Six Senses on the American continent is located 1,200 meters above sea level in the heart of the Mantiqueira Mountains – about two and a half hours by car from São Paulo and three and a half hours from Rio de Janeiro. Because of its many springs and rivers, the region is also known in Brazil as the “mountains that cry”.

The smallest luxury hotel in the country was built in 2012 using local materials such as jacaranda wood, natural stone from the nearby river and chocolate slate. The massive, 120-year-old wooden beams come from farms in nearby Minas Gerais, while huge panes of glass provide a view of the valleys and mountains of Mantiqueira. Not only the architecture and design are “Brazilian” here, but also the gastronomy, the spa, the library and even the films in the in-house cinema.

At the start, the first Six Senses in Brazil will have just seven suites in the main building with a size of 60 to 90 square meters as well as 13 private villas with 110 to 300 square meters. An outdoor pool, a children’s club, an experience center, an Earth Lab, an “Alchemy Bar” and restaurants will be added soon. Another 14 villas are planned at a later date. The construction of 37 residences for sale has already begun.

The Six Senses Spa currently comprises eight treatment rooms, a swimming pool, a CO2 bath and a sauna with tropical rain. An expansion of the offer including a fitness center is to follow next year. For outdoor activities, the hiking and horseback riding trails in the surrounding woods are ideal. “The Six Senses Botanique will appeal to guests who are looking for an ecological retreat in nature as well as authentic Brazilian design, culture and cuisine”, CEO Neil Jacobs is convinced.
