The 128-bedroom property will join the collection under a franchise agreement with Harvest Administração d Bens Ltda and is located in the Bento Conçalves wine-making region.

Facilities include the Spa do Vinho Caudalie, which offers wine- and vine- inspired therapies and is operated under licence with France-based beauty and spa company Caudalie.

Elsewhere, the property includes two restaurants; the Sabrage Bar; and a wine cellar with in excess of 660 labels. A sauna; a swimming pool; and a fitness centre also feature.

Guilherme Cesari, Marriott International's vice president of hotel development in Brazil, said: "The Spa do Vinho has an excellent local reputation as a luxury hotel with unique identity and experience.

"This hotel is renowned by the Brazilian bon vivants and connoisseurs, and we are excited about the opportunity to reveal this one-of-a-kind experience, for the rest of the world to also enjoy."
