Quality Four-Star Business Hotel

Mid-Sized Hotel

With almost 200 rooms, the Pastana Sao Paulo Hotel generally caters to a business crowd but provides enough luxury amenities to please pleasure travelers. Located in the Arts District, it is not as centrally located as other locations for tourists wanting to see all the main attractions of the city. Nevertheless, the Pastana Sao Paulo Hotel offers a luxury stay at affordable prices.

Modern Simplicity

The rooms at this hotel offer modern simplicity in their decor, but just enough amenities to please the lower end luxury seekers. From 28 to 40 square meters, the standard rooms are considered spacious, but the suites could be bigger for the luxury category. Rooms include new credit card magnetic swipe safes, modern flat panel TVs, private baths with rainfall shower heads and bathtubs for soaking, as well as free WiFi, minibar, and remote-controlled lighting. Upgraded suites overlook Ibirapeura Park for a quality garden view. Suites also have a living room and iPod docks, and all rooms come with a workstation, perfect for business travelers.

Caters to Business

Meeting rooms and conference spaces are available, including catered meals from the on-site restaurant. A business center also provides printing and computer services and high-speed internet access, all for a charge. Other amenities for all guests include a fitness center and a health and wellness center that includes spa treatments, massages, and beauty treatments. Valet parking is also available. Families will enjoy the indoor pool, laundry facilities, and roll away or extra beds if needed.

Heart of the Arts

Paulista Avenue is one place that you should visit while at this hotel; it's only blocks away from the Pestana. The surrounding area is full of mixed lifestyles. Built as a financial district in the 1990s, it has blossomed into an accepting alternative lifestyle area as well. The MASP Museum, or Museum of Art of Sao Paulo, holds the most important artwork collection of South America with over 8,000 pieces from 4 B.C. to present. It is also considered one of the top 20 most important museums in the world. Attractions downtown will require a 30-minute transit ride.

The Bottom Line

The Pestana is a good hotel in Sao Paulo that caters mostly to business travelers, but it has enough amenities and a good location for families, couples, or individuals seeking to explore the city. Nightly room prices offer value for the amount of amenities offered.
