"Sometimes it really is all about location. In the case of the Sofitel Florianopolis it makes all the difference. What would ordinarily be simply a stylish, well-crafted luxury hotel, the sort of thing Sofitel can turn out without breaking a sweat, is elevated, by virtue of its situation, into something quite extraordinary. For Florianopolis is like no other town: here, just off the bridge to Santa Catarina, you’re in the heart of the city, but also steps from some world-class surfing, and perched over a panorama that takes in the island, the mountains and the waters of the bay." - Tablet Hotels
