R. Itapeva, 435 - Bela Vista, São Paulo - SP, 01332-000, Brazil Get directions

"With its stained glass rosette by Vik Muniz and Byzantine-style frescoes, the 1922-era Santa Luzia Chapel is a breathtaking setting for a ceremony in Brazil. The church is now part of Rosewood São Paulo and pays homage to Italian immigration to the country at the beginning of the 20th century. In comparison to the smaller chapels on this list, the venue can hold up to 180 guests, making it an attractive choice for larger wedding parties." - Nicole Kliest
"Occupying one of São Paulo’s rare early-20th-century landmark buildings and shaped by architect Jean Nouvel with interiors by Philippe Starck, the hotel combines heritage architecture and contemporary design with amenities such as two outdoor pools, a jazz bar, and three notable restaurants set amid surrounding gardens." - Jessica Vadillo Jessica Vadillo Jessica Vadillo is the editorial assistant at Travel + Leisure.

"Rosewood Sao Paulo is recommended for visitors to São Paulo, Brazil. While Rio might get more of the spotlight, São Paulo will shine with an architectural heritage, some of the continent’s best museums, and homegrown fashion. It also hosts Formula 1 races." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Housed in a landmark building with vertical gardens and Philippe Starck interiors, the minibar features traditional Brazilian cachaça-based Rabo di Galos, reflecting local cocktail culture." - Nora Zelevansky

"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."
