It is the most beautiful hotel in the world according to the latest TripAdvisor ranking. It gets over 4000 5-star ratings.
It outranks more than a million other hotels across the globe according to the latest 2024 ranking of the world's best hotels. With its typically French name (although a little "cliché") and its architecture, we can imagine it being on French soil. Cocorico? And no, because this hotel, which has just won the title of "most beautiful hotel in world" by the Travellers' Choice Hotel Awards from the famous Tripadvisor site is actually more than 10,000 kilometers from Paris!
Reviews from Tripadvisor visitors are not always a guarantee of quality or experience without false ratings, but obtaining more than 4,000 5-star reviews, the maximum on this site, still gives serious clues! This is therefore the case for this hotel, which has already ranked well in previous editions of this ranking carried out each year. The Hotel “Coline de France” thus won many votes.
Located in the small town of Gramado in southern Brazil, Hôtel Colline de France doesn’t bother with French clichés. Cobbled streets, French lounge, French brasserie with gastronomy inspired by the best French establishments, the owners have clearly played the French charm card to the fullest. “Too much”? With its architecture inspired by the era of the French Empire, the hotel offers an experience that combines luxury and a change of scenery. The hotel claims to provide an “experience fit for royalty”.
This 34-suite hotel leaves nothing to chance in terms of decor and service. Visitors can enjoy an indoor pool, a spa and wellness center, and a French-style bistro. As evidenced by the rave reviews from visitors on the Tripadvisor website, the Hôtel Colline de France visibly offers a unique and timeless experience, with some even describing it as a “fairy tale” rather than a simple place to stay. Tripadvisor also highlights the quality of service and staff as a guarantee of its success. The hotel has not left the top 5 of the ranking since 2021.
And if the desire comes to leave this cozy and luxurious setting, the thermal shock as well as the culture will please visitors. Gramado, near the megalopolis of Porto Alegre, is a popular destination in Brazil, particularly for its hiking, its mountainous landscape and its local specialty: chocolate, made from Brazilian cocoa beans of course. The architecture, which is sometimes inspired by Alpine or Bavarian chalets, also has something to amaze every visitor.
