BRAZILIAN BEAUTY

Oetker Collection, the European hotel group known for venerated properties including Le Bristol Paris and Eden Rock, St Barths, has arrived in São Paulo, Brazil, with spectacular new digs. The 141-room Palácio Tangará (right) has palatial interiors, a Sisley spa and dining by New York-based wunderkind Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The location, originally a private residence from the ’40s, has a fascinating history as tangled as the tropical gardens that surround it. It has undergone numerous revamps, but you would never glean that from the monumental result. oetkercollection.com
