On my last trip to São Paulo, I had the chance to stay in style: in a penthouse in Jardins, in hotel Etoile. My “room”, so to speak, was a real duplex apartment, on the penthousecom 193m2two outdoor areas and a privileged view of the charming streets of the neighborhood.

A penthouse in the Gardens
The duplex apartment on the 17th floor is the largest in the Etoile chain. Upon arrival, we found ourselves in a very spacious room, divided into a living room, a dining room, a fully equipped American kitchen, and a nice terrace. The first floor is so nice that you barely want to leave. I set up a small office desk and worked there, in a charming and comfortable environment. I practically enjoyed the whole house, lol.
Where to eat soups in São Paulo
The decoration is designed by renowned interior designer Fernando Piva, who uses sober colors such as black, gray and navy blue, giving the apartment a modern look, where furniture and environments complement each other, forming an elegant and cozy space at the same time.

The first night I asked room service at dinner time and I ate a very delicious shrimp soup, accompanied by lemonade.
The rooftop Gazebo
It also has a guest bathroom and a gazebo with a solarium, which can be used for private events or simply for rest, reading or meditation. It is at the guest’s discretion. I already like to sunbathe, I loved the idea!

Despite being part of a hotel accommodation, the Etoile Jardins gazebo, protected by glass and surrounded by plants, is very reminiscent of traditional gazebos built in open areas. And as an extension of the apartment, it fulfills its role of providing comfort, giving life and more beauty to the place. A grace!
Tips from Campos do Jordão
The second floor
Climbing the stairs, we reach the floor of the penthouse rooms in Jardins. There are two suites, one with a bed king size and another with two singles. Both bedrooms have good closets and great bathrooms. In the master suite, the bathroom has a bathtub separated from the shower, and the bedroom has a beautiful terrace, with typical urban views of São Paulo.
The localization
Another point that deserves to be highlighted about the coverage in Jardins is the location. You can walk to several designer stores, coffee shops, sweet shops and restaurants in the most glamorous area of the city. The privileged view of penthouse in Jardins complements the atmosphere of the hotel’s exclusive accommodation.

O hotel
It is worth remembering that Etoile Jardins has a long stay, In other words, the longer you stay, the less you pay, and with a great location.
To top it off, the staff is very friendly and competent, always willing to help. And the guest is even entitled to a butler, who is available to pack and unpack bags, reserve restaurants, time in the lounge, buy theater tickets and shows. Anyway, more treat, impossible.
Elegant Circuit
O hotel Etoile nos Jardins is part of the seal Elegant Circuit, reference of the best hotels and restaurants in Brazil, selected and personally audited by director Priscila Bentes.

Swimming pool and gym
On the ground floor, there is a very spacious swimming pool, ideal for relaxing on hot SP days, and a jacuzzi, for those who really want to be upside down. The hotel also has a small gym that meets the needs of those who cannot spend a day without working out.
Breakfast
A la carte breakfast is served in the Jorge restaurant on the ground floor. My reservation entitled me to continental breakfast, with a variety of breads, tapioca, cake, fruits, juice and coffee. Enough to start the day off right. The restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner, and welcomes not only guests, but also residents of the region and can be reserved for commercial and social events. The menu features varied and healthy dishes (organic and vegetarian) and good value for money.
I already liked the Etoile chain in SP, now that I had the chance to stay in a penthouse in Jardins, I became even more of a fan. I recommend!
