Hotel Unique, São Paulo
Expert reviews
“The aptly named Hotel Unique is a truly striking choice for travelers looking for something a little different. Designed by well-known contemporary Brazilian architect Ruy Ohtake, the hotel is composed of a hull-shaped main building that’s held up by tall pillars, creating vast open spaces that flank the glass-enclosed lobby at the base of the hull.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in São Paulo.
“It’s hard not see a familiar shape (some say watermelon, some say boat, but neither hits the mark) in the wild but harmonious design of Hotel Unique. Apartments, some with walls that echo the curve of the building’s exterior, have plasma TVs with DVD players, mobile phones, king-size beds, and whirlpool baths with remote control, while the pool features a waterslide and submerged hydromassage chairs.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in São Paulo.
“Designed by Ruy Ohtake, the slice of watermelon–reminiscent Unique is certainly the city’s most architecturally ambitious hotel, as well as a favorite of rock stars and fashionistas.”
“Unique by name and by design, São Paulo’s Hotel Unique resembles the looming hull of a ship, with port holes for windows and two colossal concrete pillars propping up each end of the grey-green, half-moon-shaped building.”
“Is it a slice of watermelon? Or a ship run aground? The Unique is a hotel designed to be like no other in looks, but is up there with the best in terms of comfort and service. Its rooftop bar is well-known throughout the city, drawing queues of party-goers at the weekend.”

Inconsistent service in a beautiful property.
Location, accommodations, comfort, property.
Rude, untrained, and unprofessional staff. Hostess at restaurant was nice sometimes and very rude other times. Front desk staff were rude sometimes, and sometimes OK. Welcome to hotel was dreadful! Will never stay again at your hotel because of that.

Just OK for me
Skye Restaurant was superb, the pool Bar was average and a bit passé with the red lights.
Pool bar wasn’t great. Music good and crowd seemed to be happy.

Highly recommended for business travelers and couples
The staff at reception was very friendly and glad to assist on any question we had. All of them very professional. Roof top is excellent and the Skie bar gets very busy every day of the week.
Bar prices are too steep for SP. Rooms although we like the style a little too spartanic.
