Hotel Unique, Sao Paulo

Named “Most Excellent Hotel in South America” by U.K.’s Johansens 2009, Hotel Unique is a well-known part of the São Paulo cityscape. Designed by Ruy Ohtake, the hotel is an urban work of art and widely considered an architectural gem in Brazil, and the sleek interior décor by João Armentano, as well as the lush landscaping by Gilberto Elkis, perfectly complements the stunning exterior visuals. Ninety-five rooms, including ten suites, provide every amenity for the modern traveler, and more. Hotel Unique’s rooftop pool overlooking Ibirapuera Park boasts extraordinary views of the city, while Skye Restaurant and bar, helmed by French chef Emmanuel Bassoleil, are consistently ranked among the world’s best.
