Overview
Luxor Group traces its origins to the first Luxor hotel in Rio de Janeiro in 1917; the family later built one of Brazil's largest hotel chains and farmed in the cerrado, and the 2007 sale of Luxor Hotels led to the structuring of its family office. Its investment arm, Luxor Investimentos (a CVM-registered portfolio manager), invests in public equities, private equity and venture capital directly and through selected managers. The group also runs Luxor Agro (regenerative agriculture) and the Farol philanthropy (since 2018), with offices in Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon and Boulder.
