I stayed a few days in November, and had a very nice visit. I chose this hotel for it's location and price, and got a very good deal.
I was particularly pleased with the front desk staff, and was surprised to see some of the other reviews of this hotel that mentioned bad service. They help me with several arrangements before I arrived via e-mail correspondence (car service, tickets to an event) and everything was perfectly arranged. They also helped me with some more services during my stay. Great concierge service, and it was from the regular front desk staff. After the first day, I was greeted by name by several of the incredibly friendly and helpful staff.
The room was nicely appointed and clean and modern. Everything worked well, and there were plenty of power plug adapters. All the outlets in my room were 110v with the new Brazilian "universal" plugs, but came with adapters to US style. The hotel is one block off from a busy intersections, so there was plenty of traffic noise. But it was more of a drone, than loud sounds. I was never woken up by the traffic, nor did I have any trouble falling asleep. The bed was very comfortable, with a great feather bed (duvet) comforter.
The pool, fitness center, and sauna on the top floor are amazing. Even if you just take the elevator up to enjoy the view - it's spectacular.
Check out the restaurant row on R. Amauri across Av. Faria Lima two blocks away from the hotel. Several great restaurants, including a couple of SP's best.
I would definitely stay here again.
Room Tip: as for one on the back side if traffic noise bothers you.
