Strategically located in the Avenida Paulista area, just steps away from several of São Paulo's most famous attractions, the hotel will be in the heart of Cidade Matarazzo, a complex of elegant buildings dating back to the early 20th century, which will also feature luxury shops and an entertainment and arts center. The development will redefine the landscape in the Av. Paulista region and set a new standard for luxury hospitality in São Paulo.

Designed by renowned international icons, including Pritzker Award-winning architect Jean Nouvel, interior designer Philippe Starck and a selection of renowned Brazilian artists, Rosewood São Paulo will reflect Brazil's energy and cultural heritage through architecture and design inspired by local history and cultural heritage.

Six restaurants and bars, including an elegant area overlooking the hotel's lush gardens, will welcome visitors and locals to a truly innovative dining experience. The facilities will include two swimming pools – one on the roof of the former maternity ward and the other situated within the hotel's gardens, and facilities at Asaya, the Rosewood chain's most brand new wellness concept..
