The Paineiras Hotel has had its glory days. Synonymous with refinement and elegance, had had as guests illustrious personalities as the Presidents of Brazil Washington Luis, Getúlio Vargas and Café Filho, as well the actress Sarah Bernhardt, among others. In its golden days had hosted too of the national football team of Brazil and of the teams of Botafogo, Vasco and Fluminense.Its story is intertwined with that of the Corcovado Railroad, it begins when the Emperor D. Pedro II grants for two engineers an area for exploration and construction of a railway linking the Cosme Velho to the Corcovado Hill. The original project previewed the construction of a hotel wtih a restaurant. On October 9, 1884 is inaugurated the Paineiras Hotel, along with the Corcovado Railroad with a lavish reception for the Emperor and several guests.
The hotel remained in operation for many time, but after a period of decline remained closed for 25 years. In 2012 a consortium of three companies won the bid made by ICMBio and won the right of explore the hotel. The actual project intent is to transform the Painswick Hotel in a tourist complex with exhibition space and gastronomy. Unfortunately in August 2013 the Directors of the Tijuca National Park resulted in the suspension of the works in view of the non-compliance with conditions of authorization ICMBio and recommendations set out in the authorization Iphan.
The photos in this post were taken in 2010 and show the situation of facilities before any intervention of the consortium.
