Great place; the surroundings are like a part of a movie. The settings are just perfect. Well taken care of. Every detail. A bit far away but totally worth it. I wasn't able to check-in because there was a huge sport event outside the hotel taking place and we were just spectators. We will definitely go back as guests and try the SPA they have with so many varieties of services using the local minerals, mud and special waters😌. Make sure to bring a nice camera 🙌👍
A very nostalgic hotel. The park that surrounds it is very nice. They have a cycle rout and walking distance has an excellent cafe and next to it a very good restaraunt. On the weekends they have bahacas selling beer and finger food.
Impressive hotel from outside but the rooms are still from the 50-60s. Water was not working properly, light wasn’t working. Food in the restaurant wasn’t good and took more then 1 hour from the time it has been ordered.
I spent three fantastic days at this resort hotel. It is a historic place in a charming set up. The rooms are well equipped and clean. Excellent place for a family vacation. Lots of activities for children. They get their own daily program!
Huge and beautiful place. Due to its history, all the forniture has to look alike the original old ones. So it happens to be kind of a place with simple furniture mixed with a huge and elegant building that has its own lake and thermal waters. Worth the view, worth the visit.
Very good, the hotel exceeds all expectations in terms of greenery service, the city of Araxá is accessible from the banks of the BR 262 that connects to the triangle of Minas Gerais.
The place is amazing, is rounded by nature. The rooms and bathrooms are antique, and could be much cozier, but they match the arquitechture of the place. The people are kind and attentive. The food is the only thing I did not adore.
This an old hotel that had it's greatness 50 years ago. Nowadays it's overrated. Everything is old, the beds, showers. BUT it has it's charm. The landscape is beautiful and the natural thermals are great.

Very interesting visit and friendly guide
(Translated by Google) A wonderful collection with many of the artist's works. It also features many pieces that tell the history of Araxá. The house that houses the museum is a work of art in itself. (Original) Acervo maravilhoso com muitas obras do artista. Conta ainda com muitas peças que contam a história de Araxá. A casa que abriga o museu é uma obra de arte a parte.
(Translated by Google) The place is beautiful! Our visit was guided by Juliana, who was sensational! He showed us the wonderful and important works of Calmon Barreto and took us to discover the history of Araxá in a very interesting and intelligent way! Very worth the visit!!! (Original) O local é lindo! Nossa visita foi guiada pela Juliana que foi sensacional! Nos mostrou as maravilhosas e importantes obras de Calmon Barreto e nos levou de maneira muito interessante e inteligente a conhecer a história de Araxá! Vale muito a visita!!!
(Translated by Google) It's good to learn about the artist Calmon and see belongings of prominent families from that era. The only thing lacking was more knowledge and/or willingness on the part of the guide to present the works, as she simply moved from room to room in a hurry and without providing information. (Original) Bom saber sobre o artista Calmon e ver pertences de famílias de referência da época. Faltou apenas mais conhecimento e/ou boa vontade da guia em apresentar as obras, pois a mesma apenas seguia de sala em sala com pressa e sem dar informações.

Is aan interested place.
Not much to see there during the day, but some say that at night there are sounds and shapes of ghosts from those who were killed there. Anyway it is good to learn about the history of this tree in order to see how the black people suffered because of slavery.
(Translated by Google) A fallen tree that you can only see up close at a certain time. I didn't know the story because I went on Sunday afternoon and it was closed to visitors. (Original) Uma arvore caída que vc só pode ver de perto em determinado horario. A respeito da historia não conhecí porque fui domingo a tarde e estava fechado pra visita.
(Translated by Google) To be a tourist attraction, it needs more attention from the public administration. (Original) Para ser um ponto turístico, precisa de mais atenção da administração pública.
(Translated by Google) Now it's just a dead tree, but it's worth visiting the Black Consciousness Center within the same space. The area around the tree could be better maintained. (Original) Agora é apenas uma árvore morta, vale a visita pelo centro da consciência negra dentro do mesmo espaço. Poderia estar mais cuidada no entorno da árvore
(Translated by Google) The Tree is Dead! The place marks the history of a popular trial of two slaves who killed their owner and were sentenced to death. There are no historical records that prove what happened. Therefore, this story is part of the oral tradition. (Original) A Árvore está morta! O local marca a história de um julgamento popular de dois escravos que mataram seu dono e foram condenados à morte. Não há registros históricos que comprovam o ocorrido. Portanto está história faz parte da tradição oral
(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, it is poorly maintained, poorly signposted and has poor access. They say that lightning struck the tree causing its death and it took 5 years to fall. But... They did not maintain the memorial site. (Original) Infelizmente mal tratado, mal sinalizado e com acesso ruim. Dizem que um raio caiu na árvore causando sua morte que demorou 5 anos para tombar. Mas... Não conservaram o lugar memorial.
(Translated by Google) Tourists are fools, they advertise that they're open 24 hours, and then on the door there's a beautiful padlock with no opening hours... Congratulations... (Original) Turista é bobo, anuncia aberto 24 hs, daí na porta tem lindo cadeado sem horário... Parabéns...

A good experience as you are free to run around where you want.
(Translated by Google) It was definitely worth a visit. But remember that it is a ruin and therefore you shouldn't expect much. But the place is super peaceful and incredibly light. The wind blowing through the trees is a big plus. To get there, you can go through the Grande Hotel's reception (just ask the security guard politely) if you are driving, or through the back, on foot or by bike. (Original) Valeu muito a pena visitar. Mas lembrando que se trata de uma ruína e portanto não se deve esperar muito. Mas o local é super tranquilo e de uma leveza descomunal. O vento batendo nas árvores é um diferencial. Para acessar, pode ser pela portaria do Grande Hotel (basta solicitar educadamente ao segurança) se for de carro, ou pelos fundos, a pé ou de bike.
(Translated by Google) Poorly signposted, difficult to find. The ruins were really cool, but now if you don't know the way you'll get lost. The Grand Hotel itself is somewhat abandoned, the streets are dirty and smelly. The fountains are poorly maintained. (Original) Pouco sinalizado, difícil de encontrar. Era mto legal as ruínas mas agora se vc não conhece o caminho fica perdido. O Grande Hotel mesmo está meio abandonado, ruas sujas e com muito odor. Fontes mau cuidadas.
(Translated by Google) The ruins of the Hotel Rádio are located in the Barreiro Complex, which is a beautiful place to visit. There you can see the Fonte Dona Beija and other places like the Grande Hotel. There is also a beautiful lake in this park. I had trouble finding the ruins, there were no signs and I had to ask people who were in the park. It is worth taking a walk to see the history of the hotel and the park where it is located. (Original) As ruinas do Hotel Rádio ficam no Complexo do Barreiro, que é um lugar muito bonito para se visitar. Nele podemos ver a Fonte Dona Beija e outros lugares como o Grande Hotel. Há um lago lindo nesse parque, também. Tive dificuldade de encontrar as ruinas, não havia sinalização e tive que perguntar para as pessoas que estavam no parque. Vale o passeio pela história do Hotel e pelo parque onde ele está localizado.
(Translated by Google) The trail to the hotel is worth it in itself. The ruins, overgrown with vegetation, are thought-provoking. Given the period in which it was built, it must have been imposing and luxurious, but after going bankrupt and being abandoned, it was completely deteriorated by the ravages of time. (Original) A trilha para chegar ao hotel já vale a pena por si. As ruínas tomadas pela vegetação suscitam muitas reflexões. Pela época em que foi construído, deve ter ser imponente e luxuoso, mas após falir e ser abandonado, foi completamente deteriorado pela ação do tempo.
(Translated by Google) The area where the ruins are located is completely protected by a fence and gates. The area is open to the public from Thursday to Sunday. The building is completely abandoned, but it has resisted the effects of time and vandalism as best it can. It remains standing and imposing. Columns, floors, walls and stairs stir the imagination and invite us to imagine the years of glory that the hotel must have experienced. It was built before the Grande Hotel Termas de Araxá. To get there, just follow a cobblestone road that starts at Avenida do Contorno. (Original) O espaço onde ficam as ruínas é todo protegido por cerca e portões. A área é aberta ao público de quinta a domingo. O prédio está totalmente abandonado, mas resiste como pode à ação do tempo e ao vandalismo. Continua em pé e imponente. Colunas, pisos, paredes e escadas atiçam a imaginação e convidam a imaginar os anos de glória pelos quais o hotel deve ter passado. Sua construção é anterior à do Grande Hotel Termas de Araxá. Para chegar lá basta seguir uma estrada com calçamento de pedra que parte da avenida do Contorno.
(Translated by Google) The place should be better signposted and monitored by security. I went in March and returned four months later. Significant destruction to the property is noticeable... A foul smell! The stone plaque that mentions the hotel is covered in graffiti. The same goes for the Christ statue and the public restrooms. A lot of vandalism! (Original) O local deveria ser mais sinalizado e vigiado por seguranças. Fui em Março e voltei agora 4 meses depois. Nota-se grande destruíção no patrimônio... Mal cheiro! A placa da pedra onde fala sobre o Hotel está toda rabiscada. (Pixada). Assim como o Cristo, banheiros públicos. Muito vandalismo!

The building is beautifully designed, the fountain inside invites you to relax and enjoy the running water sounds. The walk there is just as nice, with the lake view and the capybaras.
I’ve been coming to this place since an early age of my youth and it still bring smiles to my face and to those I bring with me. It’s a piece of history, it’s a remembrance of our early days and the fountain water is rejuvenating.
Beautiful and original source Dona Beja with water that is impregnated with radioactivity ( radonium).
Amazing view, relaxing location for those who like nature and history.
The water is good, but the fountain needs some maintenance.
There is a good place, I have good memories in there

Regardless of your religion, the chapel is worth visiting for its history, location and the aspects of its construction. It also has a stream in front of it. A fantastic setting!

(Translated by Google) The city government has a total disregard for the city's culture. Those who support it, and without any means, are the exhibitors who do their job of trying to preserve and promote history. It is currently located together with the Dona Beija museum. A brilliant woman who some people try to diminish there. Mainly by erasing her history. The history of the Indians, then. It is sad to see it so erased there. Congratulations to those who do everything they can to promote it there. I am grateful to this person who taught me a lot. (Original) A prefeitura tem total descaso com a cultura na cidade.
