Our coverage of luxury hotels in Brazil begins with the best hotels in the capital of Sao Paulo and the other major city that is synonymous with the country: Rio de Janeiro.
Despite Brazil's wealth of natural resources and its growing clout as a business hub, there are surprising few standout hotels in its two major cities. Before 2005 you were lucky to even have a choice, but thankfully a few recent developments have brought in some much-needed competition. With Brazil's star rising in the economic world, we expect high-end travelers to find new options as the years go by.
For now though, here are the best hotels in Brazil's two major cities. Except for at the Orient-Express property Copacabana, you can expect hipster decor and furniture designed for fashion spreads, sometimes at shockingly high prices.
In the coming months we hope to get out of the cities and head to the northern beaches and jungle. Stay tuned.
