Rebirth

The Hotel: The TRIBE Hotel Belo Horizonte is remarkable in many ways. It is in a revitalized old building in the heart of Belo Horizonte. While the hotel itself is not a historic landmark, it occupies a unique position amidst a collection of culturally significant and historically listed buildings, creating a harmonious dialogue between the past and the present. The hotel’s revitalization was carried out with a strong commitment to sustainability and regional identity, using exclusively local materials such as stones, marbles, and iron. This thoughtful approach not only honors the architectural heritage of Minas Gerais but also reinforces the connection between the building and its surroundings.

The Brand: TRIBE Hotels are defined by the lifestyles of modern travellers as an affordable luxury where you can check in, kick back and experience the destination authentically. TRIBE Hotels bring together contemporary interiors, useful design details, comfortable spaces and unpretentious luxuries. The TRIBE Hotel Belo Horizonte is a perfect example of this philosophy. It offers striking modern design and hospitality in a special surrounding.  

The Book: Rebirth tells the exciting story of a special hotel. It presents the architectural and cultural-historical background of the surrounding area. It also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the planning and construction of the hotel, which stands out with its modern design. Informative text and impressive photography ensure that this book is a delight for anyone who enjoys unique design, exceptional hospitality, and contemporary travel.
