"Rosewood’s first property in South America is already one of the city’s hottest destinations—the lobby restaurant and bar are buzzing every night of the week with Brazilian models and well-heeled entrepreneurs. And who can blame them? Though the hotel is unlike any other property in the city, it feels distinctly of São Paulo. Perhaps that’s thanks to the art commissioned for every space imaginable, from the illustrated rooftop pool floor to the custom pillow covers in each room. Or perhaps it’s the fantastic dining concepts, ranging from Brazilian-French fusion to pan–Latin American cuisine. It no doubt owes some thanks to the living and breathing Paulistas who are already flocking, infusing the space with life around the clock. Rooms from $530."
