Excelentes acomodações, tudo funcionando e limpo. O café da manhã é algo que precisa ser mencionado e elogiado, fartura na quantidade e qualidade dos itens oferecidos. O atendimento dos garçons também deve ser destacado, Raimundo nos atendeu de forma cordial, intencional e rápida. Aos domingos, uma igreja presbiteriana funciona no local, o que é ótimo pra quem está em trânsito aos domingos.

Although the property could use some sprucing up in areas, this is an efficient and well functioning hotel. The location was ideal for us--quiet and a block off the beaten path, giving us lots of walkable options. Good brrakfast choices and plenty of fresh, healthful food items.

The carpet of the hotel was durty, the price is very high for the comfort of the hotel. The pool isn’t at a good position and there was no one at the bar. The gym is not of the hotel, many equipments for a small place.

Well located place in need of a TLC.

This hotel offers a peaceful retreat despite its central location near convenient amenities. The tranquil atmosphere allows for a restful stay, perfect for business or leisure travelers. Its prime location provides easy access to dining, shopping, and business districts. While the hotel boasts these advantages, some thoughtful renovations would greatly enhance the guest experience. A revitalization of the property would truly elevate its potential.

Sou cliente do Hotel há muitos anos, já me hospedei dezenas de vezes. Entretanto, assim como nesta última estada, pude constatar o declínio das condições e instalações do hotel que vem perdendo o padrão de qualidade que me fez frequentá-lo. O atendimento prestado pelos funcionários é muito bom, inclusive dando razão às minhas observações quanto ao declínio da qualidade do hote, seja nas instalações, mobilíário, café da manhã, etc. embora os preços das diárias não tenham diminuido

The front desk staff, the concierge, the cleaning and breakfast staff were all friendly, helpful and professional. They made the stay very enjoyable. The room, however, had some issues. The carpeting in front of the bathroom was wet the entire time (5 days) we were there, and the carpeting was dirty which was an issue for me when you have small children crawling around.

Unfortunately the service was overshadowed by my mothers watch going missing and my fathers shoe bag went missing on 2 separate occasions in their room. We notified front receptionist and they said they would look into the matter. We didn’t get any feedback after that. It’s not a good look on your staff that cleans the rooms and I would look into the matter. We are definitely not the first. This you must know has happened.

Amazing Hotel!

The hotel was amazing! Just a short walk to Ace. Paulista where you can find great shopping, cultural sites and restaurants including Starbucks if you need!
The hotel is also surrounded by local bakeries, restaurants and small markets and drug stores so you can find anything you need easily and a short distance away.
The staff is EXCEPTIONAL. Extremely friendly and supportive. They go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable and enjoy your stay!
The hotel gym is AMAZING. Very clean, great equipment that is well maintained and modern. The gym staff takes safety seriously and they do an excellent job of keeping the equipment cleaned.
Over all the hotel is amazing, you will enjoy staying here immensely!

Great service! Restaurant staff was amazing. Sadrac, one of the restaurant and front bar staff was incredibly professional, personable, friendly. We felt at home. The girls at the front desk were extremely helpful and staff walked us to drug store because I had medical emergency. They called my hotel in Rio to ask for my insulin and they called Drogasil for me. The restaurant staff warmed up our food from the night before and they scheduled dinner reservations at other restaurants. We love intercontinental in São Paulo and we love IHC

The carpet was gross and in poor condition. The bathroom felt claustrophobic and smelled. The cable television did not work at all during the stay, and nobody at the hotel ever mentioned it, not even at check in. It wasn’t until that evening when I called and asked about it that the front desk said the cable provider had a problem. It was the second Intercontinental I’ve stayed in after a good first experience, but I’ll reconsider the brand next time I see it as an option.

Horrible experience

Horrible experience when only for asking for a late check out, the guy in the front desk was amazingly rude! The rest of the staff was great, but I cannot believe that after staying for 3 nights at a rate of 350 USD, I received such treatment! I am not saying they HAD to give me the late check out, but there are ways to explain politely. Will never stay again and would not recommend it! Plus, highly overcharged for what the hotel has to offer. The swimming pool is depressing.

Great location in a wonderful neighborhood for walking. This hotel uses a credit card/door card in a slot to keep the room powered. Lights, air conditioning, power sockets charging batteries all shut off without the card.
Mine was stolen the second day from the holder while I was out. No one knew where it was or who had access to my room. I asked them to change the code and issue me new room cards. It was stolen again the third day and no one know why or where my extra key was or who has 24 hour access to my room.
If I am murdered in my sleep tonight the Intercontinental Sao Paulo is responsible as they were notified twice about the stole room keys.

The hotel is located in a very safe area but there isn't much within walking distance in the way of restaurants. The rooms were fine and the bathrooms were a decent size. The front desk staff is friendly and do speak English. Elevator security is lacking. I was disappointed at the charges to check in early. I felt like I was being upsold. It shouldn't cost a full night's stay to check in at 10am.

Convienent location but I won't be returning

The location of this hotel is great. I enjoyed my room. The only thing I didn't care for at this hotel was the check-in process and the hotel concierge never seemed to want to help me or my colleagues with questions. They would always say \"no enlgish\". At check-in I felt like I was buying a used car. The gentleman said that my room wasn't available but he would see if he could find a different room. He came back with an upgrade to the Presidential Suite for an extra $200 a night. I said no but he was persistant and tried to give it to me 50% off. I still said no. After 15 minute back and forth he just said my room wasn't available. I didn't ask for an upgrade I just wanted to check-in. I won't be staying here on my next trip to Sao Paulo.

Streets were very safe to walk, lovely tree lined avenues with heaps of cafes and bars to visit.

Business travel in Sao Paulo

Travelling for business so not as budget constrained as private. Hotel is on a busy shopping and restaurant street and in my experience was reasonably safe to walk around in during both day and night. Hotel is a 4 star establishment. Had problems on one day with room servicing, but overall the comfort and cleanliness were fine> Hotel seems to be very busy during the day with conference related activities and this meant it was difficult to get timely lunch services, but otherwise was fine.

Excellent location, excellent hotel. Check in and check out process was great, the reception staffs speaks perfect english and very helpful. Breakfast buffet was the best ones we had during our entire trip in Brazil.
If you want to stay in Sao Paulo and explore around the area by walking around, this hotel is the perfect one for it, Paulista Avenue is just a stroll away. Plenty of restaurants just as you walk outside the hotel.
The room was clean and great, but I've had more comfortable bed in newer hotels during my stay.
Overall, this is a great stay and perfect location for a first timer in Sao Paulo and if you'd like to explore the area by foot. Highly recommended!
