Your guide to the best luxury hotels in São Paulo
Rosewood São Paulo · Bela VistaOur luxury hotels in São Paulo are very different from one another, so our advice starts with you: for art, a garden and two pools we recommend Rosewood São Paulo, for the boutiques and restaurants of the Jardins Emiliano São Paulo on Rua Oscar Freire. For business in the south, book JW Marriott Hotel São Paulo with its heated pool.For design and evenings in Pinheiros, close to restaurants and bars, we recommend Pulso Hotel São Paulo.
At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
New and freshly renovated: what the luxury hotels in São Paulo offer you today
Since early 2025 you can stay at W São Paulo in Vila Olímpia, high above the city: every room is on the 25th floor or higher, AWAY Spa on the 39th floor pampers you with treatments based on Brazilian ingredients, and on the 40th floor L40 Cozinha de Latitude serves dishes from along the 40th parallel, from Portugal to Japan, made with Brazilian produce.
W São Paulo · Vila OlímpiaPulso Hotel São Paulo opened in 2024, a design hotel by Studio Arthur Casas with 57 rooms, each with its own balcony. Brazilian design classics, vintage furniture and art from the Pulso collection shape the interiors, and Nuno Ramos' 30-meter work 'Mácula' runs along the indoor garden.
Rosewood São Paulo has welcomed guests since 2022 in Cidade Matarazzo, a leafy enclave close to Paulista. The same year Marriott reopened the tower in Parque da Cidade as JW Marriott Hotel São Paulo: with a heated pool that starts indoors and continues outside, and an entire floor devoted to wellness.
These luxury hotels in São Paulo have a pool – plus spa & wellness between garden and rooftop
Two pools and a Guerlain spa: At Rosewood São Paulo, adults swim in the rooftop pool with a bar and city views; down in the garden lies the Emerald Garden pool, tiled in 40 shades of green and blue inspired by the rivers of Bonito. Asaya Spa by Guerlain offers hydrotherapy with a Jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms, plus Pilates and yoga studios.
JW Marriott Hotel São Paulo · Chácara Santo AntônioSwimming in winter too: At JW Marriott Hotel São Paulo the pool is heated and reaches from inside to outside; the second-floor wellness level also has a eucalyptus sauna and a private yoga room. At Pulso Hotel São Paulo the heated pool seems to float in a glass volume above the garden, right next to Pulso Spa by L'Occitane.

Spa with a view: AWAY Spa at W São Paulo sits on the 39th floor, and the outdoor pool on the WET Deck is made for sunset. Renaissance São Paulo near Paulista has an outdoor pool with a whirlpool and a spa with ten treatment rooms. Emiliano São Paulo has no pool, but it does have Spa Santapele with the hotel's own cosmetics line.
Dining in São Paulo's luxury hotels: brasserie, wood fire and a kitchen on the 40th floor
Brazilian with a French accent: At Rosewood São Paulo, Blaise blends French brasserie tradition with ingredients from small Brazilian producers; on the terrace at Taraz, South American classics come off the wood fire, on Sundays under ancient olive trees. At Emiliano São Paulo, Vinícius Pires cooks contemporary Brazilian cuisine at Restaurante Cena, with an open kitchen right in the dining room.
Emiliano São Paulo · Jardim PaulistaAbove the rooftops: On the 40th floor of W São Paulo, executive chef Thomaz Leão runs L40 Cozinha de Latitude, and on the 23rd floor Tuca Mezzomo reinterprets Southern Brazilian cooking at Baio. For Italian-Brazilian food, head to Neto at JW Marriott Hotel São Paulo; the name recalls the city's Italian immigrants, as neto means grandson.
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
Bistro and bars: At Pulso Hotel São Paulo, restaurateur Charlô Whately created Charlô Bistrô behind floor-to-ceiling windows, while Cha Cha Boulangerie bakes bread and viennoiseries. For the evening we recommend Rabo di Galo at Rosewood São Paulo, styled after the jazz clubs of the 1930s, with live music every night.
How São Paulo eats
Try the famous mortadella sandwich at the Mercado Municipal, a pão de queijo with your coffee and a feijoada on the weekend. In the Liberdade neighborhood, the restaurants of the large Japanese-Brazilian community are waiting.
Luxury hotels in São Paulo with history – and awarded Michelin Keys
Rosewood São Paulo is the heart of Cidade Matarazzo and occupies the restored former Matarazzo maternity hospital. French entrepreneur Alexandre Allard added Jean Nouvel's plant-covered Mata Atlântica Tower to the historic building; Philippe Starck set the artistic direction, and more than 50 Brazilian artists created nearly 500 works especially for the hotel.
Other luxury hotels in São Paulo have a backstory too: the tower of JW Marriott Hotel São Paulo first opened in 2018 as a Four Seasons before Marriott reopened it in 2022 after the pandemic.

Our tip: a Sunday on Paulista
On Sundays Avenida Paulista is closed to cars and belongs to strollers, musicians and families. Combine your walk with the MASP art museum and Parque Trianon across the street.
Where to stay in São Paulo: Paulista, Pinheiros or the south – the right location for your 5-star hotel
São Paulo is vast, and the neighborhood decides what you can reach on foot. When choosing your 5-star hotel in São Paulo, three areas matter most.
Renaissance São Paulo · Cerqueira CésarAround Avenida Paulista: Rosewood São Paulo sits in a leafy enclave in Bela Vista near Paulista, Emiliano São Paulo in the heart of the Jardins on Rua Oscar Freire with its boutiques. Renaissance São Paulo stands on Alameda Santos, one block from Paulista, with a Club Lounge on the 23rd floor. Our pick for museums, shopping and a first visit.
Pinheiros: Pulso Hotel São Paulo lies on a quiet side street where the Jardins meet Pinheiros, just off Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima. Our pick for anyone who wants to walk to restaurants and bars in the evening.
- Breakfast for two, every day
- Room upgrade subject to availability
- Hotel credit, e.g. US$100
- Early check-in and late check-out
- VIP service and personal advice

At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
In the south by the river: This is the modern business district. W São Paulo stands in Vila Olímpia, two blocks from the JK Iguatemi mall; JW Marriott Hotel São Paulo and Grand Hyatt São Paulo are on Avenida das Nações Unidas, overlooking the Estaiada cable-stayed bridge. Our pick for business trips.
Our tip: a view of the bridge
If you would like to see the Estaiada bridge from your room, tell us when you book: Grand Hyatt São Paulo sits right on the Pinheiros River, and JW Marriott Hotel São Paulo also looks out over the bridge.

Points and status: Marriott Bonvoy credits points for W São Paulo, JW Marriott Hotel São Paulo and Renaissance São Paulo, World of Hyatt for Grand Hyatt São Paulo and I Prefer for Pulso Hotel São Paulo.

Rosewood São Paulo and Emiliano São Paulo do not belong to a hotel program.
São Paulo through the year: From April to September the days are mostly dry and clear, ideal for walks along Paulista and through Ibirapuera Park. From December to March it is summer, warm and green; rooftop pools, museums and restaurants beckon, and at Carnival the samba schools parade through the Sambódromo. Around Carnival and major trade fairs, it is best to book early.
How long to stay: Three nights at a 5-star hotel in São Paulo are enough for Paulista, museums, markets and a few memorable dinners. Many travelers combine São Paulo with a few days in Rio de Janeiro.
