The Renaissance São Paulo Hotel is a full-service upscale hotel in the Jardins district, a short distance from Avenida Paulista and the city's main shopping streets. It is part of a well-known international brand, which means that the standards are predictable, the staff are used to travellers from many countries and the facilities suit both business and leisure stays. The lobby is bright and spacious, the rooms are modern and comfortable, and the pool, gym and restaurants give the hotel a resort-like feel in the middle of a busy city. Guests choose it for the combination of a quiet residential setting with fast access to museums, offices and restaurants.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits in Jardins on Alameda Santos, among tree-lined streets that are calm by São Paulo standards. Avenida Paulista, MASP and the Trianon park are close enough to reach on foot in good weather, and the nearest metro station is a short walk or an inexpensive car ride. Ride-hailing cars make it easy to reach Ibirapuera, Vila Madalena and the old centre. As with any big city, take a car at night rather than walking quiet streets.
The rooms and the facilities
Rooms are spacious and modern, with good beds, desks, large televisions, air conditioning and comfortable bathrooms, and higher floors often have views over the rooftops and the green spaces nearby. The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and meeting rooms for business guests. A buffet breakfast is usually available, but whether it is included depends on your rate. Facilities change from time to time, so confirm details at the time of booking.
What to know
The Renaissance is popular with business travellers on weekdays and with events at weekends, so rates can rise during trade fairs and big conferences. Book early for those dates and ask for a quiet room on an upper floor. Parking is normally available for a fee, although most visitors find the metro and ride-hailing cars simpler.
For travellers who want a dependable, comfortable hotel in Jardins with international standards and quick access to the avenue, the Renaissance is a good middle path between the city's boutique addresses and its simpler budget options, and it works equally well for a first visit, a family stay or a work trip.
