I was recently in both hotels and I still have doubts about which one I loved the most! In both, I stayed in comfortable and spacious suites, fully equipped with a minibar, Nespresso machine, TV, closet and soft bathrobes. These school hotels offer guests all the experience and training of students and graduates of Senac’s Gastronomy and Hospitality courses.

The gastronomy
The Grande Hotel São Pedro, like the one in Campos do Jordão, works with different guesthouses, including the complete one. In São Pedro, it’s worth leaving this package at least for one night to visit the Engenho das Águas Restaurant, with a reserved atmosphere for the sound of piano and dim lighting. The Confiance Menu privileges contemporary international cuisine, combined with a classic French base, whilst valuing Brazilian ingredients.

Speaking of meals, this is one of the parts that made me happiest during my stay. There are 6 gastronomic spaces including bars and restaurants. Book a night to visit the popular Arte da Pizza, the hotel’s pizzeria that is open to non-guests and is always packed. There, the attractions are the pizzas with special ingredients such as Catalan whip and Serra da Estrela cheese. There is also a special olive oil list, with labels from five countries.
