Rosewood Hotel, São Paulo

Rua Itapeva 435 - Bela Vista, Bela Vista, São Paulo, CEP 01332-000, Brazil. (show on map)

Rosewood São Paulo is a masterclass in urban transformation. Opened in 2022, the hotel is the crown jewel of the Cidade Matarazzo complex, a massive project that repurposed the historic Matarazzo Maternity Hospital. This storied building is particularly significant to the city, as it is where over 500,000 residents were born. The project is celebrated as Brazil’s largest “upcycling” initiative, blending restored 20th-century architecture with a striking, nature-infused modern tower.

The design is a collaboration between architectural visionary Jean Nouvel and artistic director Philippe Starck. Nouvel designed the “Mata Atlântica” tower, which rises 15 floors and features a stunning vertical garden with over 250 native trees. Inside, Starck’s interiors serve as a vibrant love letter to Brazil, showcasing an incredible collection of over 450 commissioned works by local artists, ranging from intricate ceiling murals to handcrafted furniture.

A unique feature of the property is the St. Luzia Chapel, a beautifully preserved historic space located right on-site. Guests also gravitate toward the Emerald pool, tiled to mimic the waters of the Bonito region, and the Asaya Spa, which includes a room lined with glowing crystals. Every detail, from the volcanic rock walls in the restaurants to the use of local materials, feels deeply rooted in Brazilian culture.

Located near the bustling Paulista Avenue, the hotel offers easy access to major cultural landmarks like the MASP museum and the lush Ibirapuera Park. It stands as a sophisticated, artistic sanctuary in the heart of South America’s largest metropolis.

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Rosewood São Paulo, which recently opened in the heart of the city, is filled with Indigenous art, historic photos and other Brazil-centric objects.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in São Paulo.

CN Traveler review:

“A month after opening, the new Rosewood São Paulo 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 athletes and well-heeled entrepreneurs, and who can blame them? The striking Philippe Starck-designed interiors, tree-shrouded Jean Nouvel-designed tower, and the touch of nearly one hundred artists make this hotel a landmark first in the city.”

Increadible expensive experience. I recommend if you have some extra money to spend.

Everything was increadible. Having room service 24/7 and best facilities I've ever seen before was life changing to me.

Food was super expensive. Everything cost at least 5x what normally would anywhere. Food is nothing special. regular food 5x the price.

Urban future and elegance

Excelent and unique experience of a newly built hotel, the staff, the lobby, the details in wood and ceramics, just amazing

Maybe a little bit the ratio of the size of the bedroom vs toilette

Best Hotel in Sao Paulo - a little in front in competition with Tangara and Fasano.

Tangara Palace and Rosewood are the best Hotels in Sao Paulo. High End Service.

Excellent vacation stay.

Very good hotel. Good staff. Breakfast is good in terms of quality, but the restaurant service leaves a bit to be desired. It seems like there aren’t enough waiters, and the restaurant is always crowded with non-guests, which makes the service slow.

I didn't like the food and beverage prices at the hotel. A Coke costs 25 reais, and a bottle of water is 20 reais. It feels like the prices were simply converted from dollars to reais.

Paradise on Earth! Always LOVE to return to this hotel

There's no other place to stay in Sao Paulo! This is the best hotel. I've been fortunate to have a chance to stay in many hotels around the world but this is so far the best. The quality , the service, the food , the space ! Everything makes this hotel very special. I've stayed there many times and it's always difficult to leave the place. Massive thanks for helping me celebrate my birthday with some brazilian brigadeiros and a beautiful view of the garden! I can't wait to be back. Thanks Rosewood

The only complain is that I couldn't stay longer! Paradise :)

Beautiful hotel and the rooms are spacious and very nice!

The breakfast restaurant is nice decorated and the food is delicious. The staff was friendly, but not very attentive

When we went for breakfast at 09.30h there was no space available for us. We had to wait ca. 25 minutes. For hotel guests this is not acceptable!

If you want to really enjoy this is the place

The rosewood is one of my favourite hotel, i was surprised of the artistic design on this hotel which i love.
The crystal relax room is my favourite.
Pool area is fun to be and they have few private cabana and they offer hookah smoking service which was great.
The room overal was great.
The breakfast in room service was delicious.

Too many unnecessary standing bodyguards security every corner of the hotel, which make the place look like a cheap casino, and they make the guest uncomfortable.

This is a spectacular hotel and it's always a wonderful experience. Will definitely be back.

This was a return visit to the Rosewood based on our previous experience. Everything about this place ticks all the boxes. Beautiful rooms, great attention to detail, pet friendly, nice restaurants.

There were some renovations going on so the breakfast area looked smaller than last time we visited and we had breakfast in the restaurant rather than in the main lobby area. Our eggs were served cold so we asked for them to be a bit hotter but on second attempt they were also cold. The staff was apologetic but it would have been a very simple thing to get right.

Luxury, style and understatement

Luxury and understatement. A calm, green and stylish Oasis in the middle of Sao Paulo‘s concrete Jungle.
Would recommend this over any of the more „traditional“ skyscraper based luxury hotels in city.
Staff, building, decoration and facilities in general are on pair with the best hotels in the world.

Amazing, Vibrant and Helpful

The staff are amazing, they went above and beyond for me during this trip. They recommended amazing restaurants, sourced a guide for our excursions and were 10/10 throughout our stay. We extended our stay because of the brilliant hospitality. The food was excellent, healthy and fresh. Breakfast was brilliant. The view from
Our room was stunning. We had two rooms and a part of the corridor was sectioned off with an additional door which allowed us to leave our rooms open and have the main corridor door locked which was an amazing added touch. We got goodies and snacks sent to our room daily and the beach service was also useful. I will definitely return.
