Vibe
High above Vila Olímpia, the energy shifts from daytime lobby espresso to sunset pool sessions and late-night rooftop DJ sets.
“Modernist high-rise eyrie”
Curving Brazilian Modernist architecture frames native wood, green tones, and panoramic skyline vistas from high-rise floors.
High-floor spa suites featuring Amazonian botanical rituals, steam rooms, and bossa nova yoga in the gym.
Four public venues span the rooftop L40 lounge, a lobby coffee bar, and the open-air pool deck.
In Vila Olímpia near Faria Lima, surrounded by corporate towers, upscale dining, and JK Iguatemi shopping.
“Inside, it’s São Paulo at full volume: bold color palettes, artistic lighting, Brazilian stone and wood, all woven through a cinematic take on Modernist design.”
Rooms
Occupying the twenty-fifth floor and above, rooms feature native stone, warm woods, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing wide urban views.
Wellness
The 39th-floor spa offers rituals infused with native Amazonian botanicals, alongside steam rooms and a high-altitude outdoor pool deck.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
