L’hotel Porto Bay

0 1 2 3 4

An elegant, small first class hotel in central Sao Paulo, offering a relaxing stay.

You’ll be staying in the heart of São Paulo, in the leafy, upmarket Jardins neighbourhood, which stands out for its choice of excellent restaurants and designer boutiques. This relatively small, smart first-class hotel, catering for business as well as leisure travellers, is close to the main sky-scraper lined commercial thoroughfare Avenida Paulista but endeavours to create a little oasis of calm, with a profusion of plants, spa services, and a small indoor pool.

The air-conditioned carpeted guest rooms and suites are contemporary in style, with individual pieces of artwork. The hotel reflects the cosmopolitan nature of the city, with both a Mediterranean restaurant and a menu of Japanese gastronomy.
