“Oh my god. I never want to leave.”
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love it here. In fact, I'm here 2 more nights and I hate to go. I was booked at Intercontinental Rio (who screwed up my review). I'm here for a very serious business project, and need great relax and comfort.
So I booked L'Hotel due to proximity to my work. I arrive and receive an excellent driver from the airport ($80, but outstanding), was booked into my room at 10:30 am (unheard of in so many places), and spent the rest of the morning in sauna/ofuro hot tubs, and small atrium pool on the roof (all free). The staff is so friendly, speak great english and spanish, and are so happy to help you with anything you need, it's unbelievable. Security presence out front is incredible. A top shelf taxi is always awaiting out front (not much more expensive than the perilous street taxis i've hailed, but that's another story). There is champagne service at the front desk all evening long into the 10pm hour (i'm talking incredible champagne). I am friends for life with the front desk.
So I'm 28, a doctor, and have travelled the world every which way and stayed at a lot of places. Sao Paulo is a city that requires a lot of caution and patience. it will imbrace you if you imbrace it, but having a peaceful (This place is only 14 floors, about 15 rooms per floor, constantly quiet, very respectful guests) place to go home to after your work or play, will make your time here so much better.
I am enroute to Rio, and will probably review there. This site is so useful, if you read here, you've got to post on where you go! It protects us as consumers.
Stay at this hotel. Enjoy great service, fine food, a beautiful clean room (they replenish towels and the mini bar with turn down service, straighten your things, oh my god i love it).
Second only to Hilton Beijing for my favorite places ever.
Stay here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worth the price 10x over.
