As is most 5 star hotels, we were greeted as we pulled up in our car and was offered luggage service, with a smile. We were warmly greeted by Sophie at the front desk. She was extremely friendly and helpful, announcing a big upgrade to the club level floor while she explained our American Express fine hotel benefit. She made the check in process stress free and pleasant. The room, 2027, had an amazing view of the bridge, Ponte Estaiada Octavio Frias de Oliveira. The furnishings were slightly dated but still functioned well. The room was clean and smelled great. It was a large room with a nice desk and oversized nightstands on each side of the bed. There were lots of plugs, but most were not universal plugs, so be sure to bring a European adaptor. There were two US/BRAZIL plugs but be sure your device can accept 220V or be prepared to fry the thing you plug in! The kind sized bed had high quality sheets and a selection of foam and feather pillows. The room temperature showed 18C (64F) did not seem right. It felt closer to 73F, which is hot for us when there is no airflow in the room. We requested and quickly received a fan which helped with the temperature. The bathroom was huge with a 10-foot rain shower, toilet, bidet, large tub, and huge closet with built in safe. They supply nice cotton robes and flip flops. The hotel uses single use toiletries, which was a bit disappointing for a modern, 5 star hotel. The supplied single use toiletries were larger but lacked the quality feel (and smell) of something in a 5 star hotel. The one exception was the bar glycerin soap, which was the only bathroom item that was geared for a higher end hotel. The Grand Club, located on our floor, was very nice. The staff, led by Ernesto during the day, was super accommodating and friendly. The evening crew was just as nice. A nice surprise was the availability of liquor in addition to wine and beer. They also make specialty drinks by request, a nice touch and something most loyalty lounges have eliminated. The location of this hotel is NOT ideal but the service that this hotel provides more than makes up for having to get a car to everywhere! The hotel deserves a 5 star rating.

We decided to sit at the bar so we could watch the masters at work, bartenders who are obviously very proud of their craft. For me, it was a Boulevardier - think Negroni, but subtract the gin and add bourbon in its place. The drink was beautiful, with a hand-shaved ice cube that looked like a glimmering gem surrounded by what was easily the best cocktail I've had in years. (For those of you who follow me, you know that's high praise!) One of my friends opted for the Gin Cocktail, what the drink menu calls a "high-strength stirred drink": Umburana gin, Grand Marnier, ginger, and Rangpur lime bitters. I took a sip and can vouch for this being a high-octane drink, a quite delicious one at that. For many of the drinks, the original source of the recipe is cited. The Gin Cocktail comes from "Cooling Cups and Dainty Drinks", published in 1869 - a nice touch of history that takes one back in time while enjoying their cocktail, right down to the quintessentially British instruction to the bartender: "The recipe of Terrington demands a table spoon of bitters". How imperial! The bartenders were great, answering all of our questions about the array of items displayed on the bar, from the little misters used to give a finishing touch to cocktails to the array of botanicals and garnishes in the Mason jars on the bar. Frank Bar should be on everyone's list when they visit São Paulo, whether it's for a pre-dinner cocktail or for a nice way to end an evening out with friends. Muito obrigado ao bartênderes!
