All the buildings of this 5-star hotel were designed by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, considered to be one of the masters of design and modern construction, who was part of the team that designed the city of Brasilia. The space and the integration of natural light are the principal characteristics of this magnificent example of modern art.
