This is really an average hotel in Sao Paolo. This does not make it necessarily bad , but I would not stay there if I had the choice.
The decor is really outdated but in general is a clean hotel. Breakfast is basic and dinner/room service is not one of the best. Its in the Vila Olimpia area which is a good thing , quite a few restaurants around and bars.
A comment on the surroundings in sao paolo in general . People say that its dangerous and not safe. I disagree. I was there for a one month period and I had no issues walking around the areas of the hotel or even further away.
Also avoid the Gym if you dont want to hurt yourself.
Now the major difference here is that you need to be careful. You should not go out with a full blown wallet visible in the back of you pocket , a nice SLR hanging from your neck. What I want to say is that you should not provoke.
Important Tip : When you go by taxi to work always put your laptop bag on the trunk of the taxi. Do not have it next to you or in the back seat.
