“Comfortable hotel in good CBD area and professional service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

Pros:
- hotel beds were super comfortable and soft (full sized bed)
- location was good near Ave Paulista (main street)
- free wireless is slow at 128kb but you can pay 45 Reals/day for faster service, or this may be included in your package
- Gym is big and 24H
- Easy to get cabs
- Good, professional service

Cons:
- Breakfast was decent in morning but repetitive (exact same thing/day)
- Pool is small and pretty shallow
- Business centre is really small
- Some construction going on so some rooms have noise

Room Tip: Choose a room without the construction noise!

Dear Mrs. kbun,

We thank you for having taken your time to write this review about our hotel and highlight points that matter to us.

Thank you for your "Pros" points of view and we are very glad that you enjoyed our facilities, location and our service. The bed at InterContinental São Paulo is massive and fluffy to provide a great night sleep during your stay.

Staying at InterContinental São Paulo you will certainly be in the best area of the city!

As you pointed out our hotel has been under renovation and we are totally aware how hard it can be for our guests but we struggle to minimize the impact to our guests.

The renovation will have been finished by mid March and we hope to welcome you once again in a very beautiful and charming hotel.

Our restaurant has also been under renovation and more wonderful surprises on our menu will be rolled out this year to avoid any repetitive meal during your next stay.

We want to thank you once again for your review, Mrs. kbun, and if your travels bring you back to São Paulo city, it will be a great pleasure to have you at InterContinental São Paulo.

Best regards,

InterContinental São Paulo

“great place to stay in Sao Paulo”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

We stayed at Intercontinental around xmas and it was lovely. Rooms are nicely appointed and is also used by many airlines for their staff during stopovers. Hotel is well located with many restaurants and stores within walking distance. Breakfast buffet is good with a good selection of fruits, cheese, pastries and cooked food. We would recommend this hotel and was as expected for a hotel in the Intercontinental group. Staff were helpful and friendly.

“Carefull with Credit card cloning”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

I spend two days overther, nice place , not as good for a 500 usd night but anyway, decent place to stay, service is very good, rooms ok, I expect more from them but any way, the issue was that I expect only two nights and then after when I was back in my home I got three charges for 1500, 4000 and 5000 USD from this hotel, fortunatelly my credit card company stop it and this fraud did not go through, I called the hotel and let them know this issue and they said they have no information or intereest to follow up, since they were the only place I paid with my credit card, they were the one who clonned, I suppose when I pay at the restaurant, so be carefull.

Dear Mr. MXvoyager1,

Thank you for choosing InterContinental São Paulo Hotel during your recent visit to Brazil and for having taken your time to write your review.

It is great that you enjoyed our facilities and the place where the hotel is.
Certainly you are in the best city area and hotels’ rates have gone upwards due to the Brazilian economy recovery and to the high demand we have had recently.

It is highly important for us to receive our guests’ comments due to the fact that it enables us to target problem areas and take necessary actions to ensure similar situations to be avoided in the future.

IHG and InterContinental São Paulo follow a strict compliance rule (Payment Card Industry) to protect personal information and ensure security when transactions are processed and it means that we are in accordance with the safety rules, management, politics, procedures, software safety and other protection measures required by the credit card administrators companies.

The credit card administrator was duly notified and we have checked all the terminals and no irregular situations were found. However we are aware and also we have already reinforced our safety procedures to avoid any possible drawbacks.

It is worth noting that so far we haven’t received any notifications from our guests regarding the same drawback and we have never been contacted.

We urgently ask you to get in touch with our management area for further handlings at renato.oliveira@ihgbrasil.com in order to check your case with the highest priority.

We appreciate the candid feedback we receive and welcome any opportunity to improve our services.

Kindest regards,
InterContinental São Paulo

“Very well located - great service - nice welcoming!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

The hotel is in Jardins, one of the best areas in sp! You can walk around to have some shopping in oscar freire street, crossing some nice parks, or join with few steps the avenida paulista the financial district of sp.

The welcoming was super, both at the reception and at the room. The receptionist was super nice, available and helpful.

We got the upgrade of the room, which was very nice, and very well equipped and fournished, also witha welcome present made of some fresh fruits and drinks. The bath, with iacuzzi and shower, had a great courtesy set, composed of l'occitane soaps, creams etc...

I really liked and enjoyed the hotel, where i'll back for my next paulista trip.

“Big rooms and easy access”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2011

One night at the InterContinental. Had a very nice room. Good internet service although expensive. Small but effective lobby. Don't have to walk too far to elevator and entrance. Service was good. Fine for a quick business visit to Sao Paolo.

Room Tip: Ask for a suite.
