Big spread for breakfast or you can order from the kitchen a la carte. They have a floor dedicated to the gym, spa and pool. The pool area is good size with plenty of chairs, nice way to spend a lazy morning. Gym is big space with all the basics covered. Rooms themselves is where the hotel doesnt shine. They are small, bathrooms are big, but could use some upgrading as everything has seen better days. Was only there 1 night so didnt bother to ask for upgrade, but none was offered and I even contacted the hotel in advance of my stay (plenty of bigger rooms were still for sale day of check-in). I would here again if the price was right and for a short solo stay.

The downside was my room was always very hot despite the A/C being set at the lowest temperature of 65f. There was also a significant amount of construction going on at the hotel that included drilling above my room.

But inside is very nice. The lobby is spacious and welcoming. The desk clerks checked me in without any problem. My room was a little underwhelming compared to what I had expected from the photos, but it was clean and comfortable for my stay. The Wi-Fi work just fine. The circular windows were interesting to look out of. The bathroom arrangement with the rising separator was interesting and unique. I ate at the restaurant in the hotel several times and the food was quite good and delicious. Walking from the hotel to the nearby park was convenient and felt very safe. Getting an Uber from the hotel to go to a nearby shopping mall into the airport was also very easy.

It's walking distance to great shopping and dining, making it especially convenient if you're in town for work or leisure (or both). The Room My room was spacious, with sweeping city views and--perhaps most importantly for me--excellent air conditioning. A real win for anyone who likes to keep their room fridge-level cold. Amenities include a Nespresso machine, in-room safe, iron and ironing board, and plush towels. Flip flops are also provided, which is standard for many luxury hotels in Brazil but still a nice touch. The turndown service was a small but appreciated detail after long days of meetings. The Rooftop One of the hotel's best features is the rooftop restaurant and bar. It's also where breakfast is served, and the views are worth waking up for. The space is beautifully designed--sophisticated but not stiff--and offers a great perspective over São Paulo's skyline. Breakfast is classic Brazilian: a buffet with fresh fruit, breads, pastries, cold cuts, juices, and solid coffee. You can also order à la carte items like omelets, tapioca, or specialty coffees if you want something made to order. The Service Staff across the board were warm, helpful, and professional. From check-in to restaurant service, everything felt smooth and attentive without being overdone

A great hotel in a nice neighborhood in Sao Paulo. Very close to busy streets with restaurants and…read moreshops, but far enough away to feel like a garden oasis. The staff was great, English speaking. The rooftop restaurant, Seen, was a great onsite restaurant but make reservations even if you are a guest, and the breakfast buffet is solid. The ground floor bar was quite nice and a great place for a recap meeting or pre dinner drink. The rooms are very comfortable and clean and updated, score if you face the park. I got a nice upgrade to a room with a sitting area separate from the bedroom. The pool is a bit small and is just off the lobby bar. ATM onsite in the basement.

My traveling companions and I were very happy with this hotel. We were in Sao Paulo this Feb for a…read morewedding, and this Melia made for an excellent base of operations for all of the following reasons: * Big rooms with lots of natural light. My end of the hall room even had a porthole for observing the neighborhood while I was in the shower. * Clean room, comfortable bed that was a real US-King-size. Often times I've found beds in Brazil to be hard and not all that large (yeah, I know kids... that's what she said...) * Carries the Brazil tradition of having a stocked mini-bar containing snacks and drinks that were priced such that you don't need a home equity loan to finance a late-nite fridge raid. * Mostly clear pool on the roof. During a Sao Paulo summer, a pool is absolutely essential. * Great surrounding neighborhood, safe, with lots of bars and restaurants we enjoyed. Reviews to follow. * Friendly staff and good drinks in the lobby bar. * I think it was only about US$110 a night. When in Sao Paulo again, I'll stay here again. Trust me, when in Brazil -- or anywhere in the world -- you can do much, much worse.

When friends heard I was going to São Paulo they didn't say "that's fabulous". Without fail they…read moresaid "why?", with concern, before voicing their experiences which ranged from: * Being pick-pocketed at the airport; * Having things stolen from them as they laid beside those things on the beach; * Being robbed at gunpoint, en masse, during the afternoon at a private party in a friend's home; and * Being certain that a kidnapping was imminent. I'd be lying if I didn't say these stories left me concerned for my safety. I was arriving in São Paulo solo and meeting with my son later that night, hopefully. After much research I settled on the InterContinental where, for approximately $195/night including a beautiful daily buffet breakfast for two I believed my son and I would be less likely to fall victim to anything undesirable. Mission accomplished. The InterContinental chain of hotels is a leap above the places I generally stay. Research seemed to indicate it was a hotel for business people though not located in a solely business district. From what I could tell, it was located in a relatively safe area, in one of the nicest parts of São Paulo. Though the InterContinental clearly attracts many business people (airline captains too) pleasure travelers shouldn't hesitate to stay here. I found it to be one of the best hotel experiences I've had. Not only was it in a busy, upscale neighborhood but it's very close to the subway, MASP, and some of the best shopping and dining areas of SP. The hotel was immaculate and safe (the lobby area is watched closely, the elevator requires a room key, access to the pool does as well). The front desk staff and concierge were helpful, considerate, and spoke English. The bar area is lovely and doesn't gouge on prices. The breakfast buffet is unequaled: 6 different kinds of fresh fruit juice (including acai), omelets made to order, probiotics, fresh fruits, and even a Japanese breakfast (you won't really need to eat again until dinner). The room itself was well outfitted. The lush beds held every sort of pillow imaginable. The shower had great water pressure. A separate bathtub was enticing enough to lure me in. The room temperature was easily and accurately controlled and wifi was perfect. I was left with nothing to complain about. Well, perhaps. The day after his arrival my son decided to go for a swim in the rooftop pool we'd viewed from our 15th floor room. We arrived there only to learn that the entire thing was 2.5 feet deep which gave us both a good laugh. Objects in the window may be smaller than they appear. Still, the pool and sunning patio was immaculate and lovely. If I were a business traveler or air captain I'd happily stay here. But on my own dime, as a pleasure traveler? I'd definitely stay here. You can put me safely in the big, huge fan category.

Currently staying at Fasano São Paulo and this arguably is the finest hotel I have ever stayed at…read more Excellent location (proximity to Oscar Freire, alone, is reason enough to choose Fasano over other luxury SP hotels) fantastic staff, and impeccably designed rooms. I have not had any issues that a few others posted about and the hotel is quite homey. They welcome you like a king upon arrival and have a plate of grapes and apples and chocolate brigadeiros waiting for you. The room has modern creature comfort amenities and the shower supplies are first class. To give you an example of how far this hotel goes to please its guests, the in house gym was closed for repairs 1-2 days during my stay. To make up for that the hotel arranged for a complimentary day pass at a nearby BodyTech gym ($30 value) at no cost and even picked up the taxi tab. Great turn down service with havianas placed bedside each night. The in house restaurants and Baretto Lounge are equally impressive--great Italian food and bossanova music. This hotel is on par or better than a Four Seasons and is a member of the distinguished Leading Hotels of the World group....the new Rosewood is getting a lot of attention but after checking out their common areas I still would prefer Fasano. There also is an upscale mall featuring premium stores such as Gucci and Dior along with excellent restaurants attached to the hotel--comes across to me as a smaller version of Bal Harbour Shops.

You can tell that each waiter is stepped in tradition and formal practices to complement the luxurious library feeling inside. The wine wall that floats in the back of the restaurant is stunning, and it's also now part of my personal "future dream house" goals. Naturally, there is quite a wide wine selection, which is heavy on Italy but also covers many other regions and grapes. I enjoyed the 2017 Carmenere, which paired beautifully with duck. The starter of asparagus soup set off the meal. While I'm normally not too big on asparagus, this soup nicely muted the harshness of regular asparagus while retaining just enough of the flavor to be perfect. The veal-stuffed pasta was divine! This isn't a preparation that I have seen too many places, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The veal wonderfully complemented the pasta itself and was a perfect portion size. My lamb and polenta main dish was a generous portion size, with the lamb being cooked perfectly. It was just great. We rounded things out with a beautifully presented dessert plate. From start to finish, this was a delightful, delectable experience.
