Unique garden Hotels & Spa

São Paulo

Sao Paulo is a huge, extreme and disparate skyscraper filled megalopolis. This urban jungle with constant traffic jams and highways that converge above the hills might at first glance appear hostile, but a second look reveals a city bustling with life, andin addition to being a must stop for businessmen, also a city of art and culture.

Founded by Jesuits in 1554, it has become the fourth largest metropolis in the world and the economic pulse of Brazil and Latin America. Fascinating and gigantic, the city is home to the largest Japanese community outside of Japan, three million people of Italian descent and important Jewish, Syrian and Lebanese communities.

This immense city of unbridled urbanism possesses neighborhoods as different as the old city with its architecture resembling that of Buenos Aires, industrial quarters with 2,578 skyscrapers, the Paraisopolis favela and trendy residential areas in the west with parks containing works by Oscar Niemeyer.

For those in search of peace and quiet, the Brazilian countryside isn’t very far away by helicopter, the means of transport used by politicians and wealthy local inhabitants to avoid the hyperactivity of the city.
