ibis Sao Paulo Paulista is the budget pick on Avenida Paulista, with 236 straightforward rooms at Avenida Paulista 2355. It is a three-class property rated 9.0 by guests, with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a desk, a minibar and a safe in each room. The hotel has a restaurant, a bar, a garden, a 24-hour front desk, a business centre and bicycle hire, and the rooms are compact. It suits travellers on a budget, short stays and anyone who plans to spend the day on the avenue and in the museums. It is part of the Accor group and offers a predictable, reliable stay.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on the avenue itself, so MASP, the Casa das Rosas and Itaú Cultural are all within walking distance, and several metro stations are close by. Restaurants and cafes are on the doorstep, and ride-hailing cars take you to Ibirapuera, Vila Madalena and the old centre. The avenue is busy and well lit, but use a car for late journeys.
The rooms and the facilities
Rooms have double beds or twins, black-out drapes, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and the bathrooms have showers only. They are small, so pack light. The restaurant serves a daily buffet breakfast for a charge, with a vegetarian choice, and the bar is a handy place for a drink. Pets are accepted for a fee, and the front desk is staffed around the clock.
What to know
Secured valet parking carries a daily charge, so most visitors leave the car behind. Street noise can reach lower floors, so ask for a higher room. This is a no-frills hotel with no pool and no spa, so judge it on price and location. It is a sensible choice for a first visit built around Paulista, and the savings go a long way in the restaurants nearby.
