Rosewood São Paulo.
Rosewood’s remarkable Brazilian debut is a metropolitan sanctuary nestled within the historic Cidade Matarazzo complex. It’s far from un understatement to say that Rosewood Sao Paulo reimagines luxury hospitality through a stunning fusion of preserved early 20th-century architecture and contemporary design by Jean Nouvel and Philippe Starck.
The Lowdown.
Regenerating a former maternity clinic was the idea of Alexandre Allard, the visionary behind the transformation of Cidade Matarazzo. His first coup was luring Rosewood to anchor the project. What followed was a revolutionary approach to urban regeneration, blending historical preservation with cutting-edge design and the planting of thousands of plants to draw life back into the centre of Sao Paulo. The property occupies a landmark historical building and a striking vertical garden tower, creating a unique architectural dialogue that reflects Brazil's rich cultural heritage and contemporary innovation.
The Neighbourhood.
Situated in the vibrant Bela Vista neighborhood, the property sits at the cultural heart of São Paulo, offering guests immediate access to the city's most dynamic art, culinary, and entertainment districts. Strategically located just minutes from major business centres and cultural landmarks, the hotel serves as an urban sanctuary amidst the bustling metropolis. Cidade Matarazzo is also home to Soho House, the Bradesco art complex and some of the best retail and restaurants in the city stretch throughout the complex.
