Built in 1954 to be the headquarters of one of the main newspapers in the city, the building that now houses this hotel is a landmark in downtown São Paulo. The huge mural created by Di Cavalcanti is one of the 1950s attractions. All 415 rooms were renovated in 2004; their decor hovers somewhere between Scandinavian and airport lounge (albeit a well-maintained airport lounge). The furnishings are all blonde-wood and brushed steel of an indistinguishable contemporary style, which, all-in-all makes for pleasant rooms at good prices.
