On my recent trip to São Paulo I stayed, for the first time, at Hotel Renaissance, in Jardins, one of the most elegant neighborhoods in the city. Not surprisingly, the Renaissancand it is a luxury hotel em São Paulo.
With a project designed by renowned architect Ruy Othake, the hotel was opened in 1997 and has 444 apartments.
As soon as we enter, we come across a grand lobby, with work and social areas and where the Living Lounge Bar & Sushi, with modern and intimate design and lighting, always busy, reopened in 2011 with a new design, ideal for those who want to satisfy their hunger without going far, have a happy hour or even an informal meeting. Coffees, drinks, craft beers, various snacks, sushi and sashimi are on the menu.
On the same floor is the Terraço Jardins restaurant, offering contemporary cuisine with a Brazilian influence, with a welcoming and sophisticated atmosphere.
The rooms, almost all renovated, have wooden floors, clean and tasteful furniture, functional enough for the guest. But what is most impressive is the large glass window that provides an impressive view of the great metropolis, both in the bedroom and in the bathroom, both day and night. Highlight for the incredible afternoon that I managed to capture.
The LED lighting is very pleasant, with individual light points and a series of beautiful sockets and adapters, essential for our technological lives today. It’s also worth mentioning that the Wi-Fi service works (paid separately) and works perfectly and allows the use of 6 devices per person, which I thought was great. To bed, Marriot standard(with weight absorption technology patented by the brand) is very comfortable and a great size.
I had the opportunity to try the services of Club Lounge, the hotel’s executive floor, on the 23rd, which brings together a business center, reserved or open spaces for meetings, personalized service, as well as gourmet service that includes a rich breakfast buffet, and throughout the day canapés, drinks, sweets and coffees, and a special happy hour at the end of the day. I loved!
The gym is another highlight of the hotel, and is nothing like the big gyms, very well equipped and with competent professionals willing to help. The spa, which had an investment of almost R$700 thousand, offers 10 therapy rooms with varied treatments.
