Gramado (RS) – Hotel Colline de France has once again put Brazil in the spotlight of the luxury hospitality sector by winning the titles of Best Hotel in Brazil, Best Hotel in South America, and 2nd Best Hotel in the World at TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Hotels 2026 awards. This recognition is based on guest reviews from around the globe and positions the property once again among the premier examples of excellence in international hospitality.
The award comes at a strategic moment for the Colline de France Group as it expands its operations into new Brazilian states. Among the most anticipated projects is the brand’s second location in Miguel Pereira (Rio de Janeiro)—a venture that promises to raise the standard of domestic hospitality while boosting tourism and economic development in the region.
For Sophia Martins, who is overseeing the strategic aspects of the Miguel Pereira project, this international recognition further strengthens the venture’s transformative potential.
“Seeing Colline de France recognized once again among the world’s best hotels confirms that excellence does not happen by chance. The second location in Miguel Pereira represents much more than just a new hotel; it is a milestone for Brazilian tourism, high-end construction, and the elevation of a city that is now joining the international map of luxury hospitality. We are building a legacy that combines economic development and job creation with a truly memorable experience for those visiting Brazil.”
The brand’s expansion symbolizes a new era for the domestic hospitality industry, bringing the same culture of service, architecture, and sophistication that made Colline de France a global benchmark to other destinations.
According to Clara Tomazi, founder of Colline de France, this achievement recognizes work built day by day through dedication, excellence, and purpose. Alongside Jonas Tomazi, Clara also co-authored the preface to the international bestseller *50 Tons de Luxo* (50 Shades of Luxury), which has been published in five languages. The work presents the principles of exceptional guest experiences, high-end hospitality, and advanced service techniques that have become hallmarks of properties like Colline de France—a global benchmark for excellence in luxury hospitality.
“Receiving this global recognition once again is a source of immense pride for our entire team. Each review reflects an experience enjoyed by our guests and reinforces that our commitment to excellence remains the brand’s key differentiator. This award inspires us to continue growing without compromising the very essence that has made Colline de France an international benchmark.”
Colline de France had previously secured the number one spot globally in earlier editions of the ranking; now, it solidifies its position among the world’s most admired hotels, bolstering Brazil’s image as a luxury destination and paving the way for a new phase of brand expansion into high-end hotel and residential developments.
