I typically don’t go out of my way to post reviews, but our experience at this particular Renaissance has not been good, and given the good reviews, I think it might be helpful for others to read and maybe temper expectations with this particular hotel. Our experience: We went to check in a bit early upon arrival and were told that although a room was not yet ready, that they would contact us when rooms would be done, find us adjacent rooms (we booked two), and offer us rooms on a high floor (defined as 16+ on their site) as an upgrade was otherwise unavailable despite our Marriott status. And they assured us they would bring our bags to the room. Unfortunately 0 out of those 4 things happened, and the front desk backtracked when we returned to tell us that nothing they said was guaranteed and that the hotel is full and there’s nothing they can do. They guaranteed us they’d bring our bags up once again, which of course did not happen until I called them from the room 45 minutes later. Additionally, I just went on the Marriott website and found that they definitely have available high floor rooms that are book-able for our reservation dates. It’s just sad that they set expectations high and don’t deliver. It’d have been better to under-promise instead and not be disingenuous with the room availability etc. Keep in mind that this hotel is more expensive than 95% of others in São Paulo, so I believe that their service should be commensurate! I love the Renaissance brand but this experience was not good thus far. We have another room reserved for later this week which we are considering cancelling given this whole situation.

AMAZING STAY! I stay at a lot of Starwood properties and this has truly been one of my favorite. Beautiful hotel (it’s like W level in the states). The staff was so helpful and friendly in every interaction we had. Great bar scene. The sushi restaurant is fantastic. Also the spa is beautiful and was the perfect way to relax. We did not get to use the pool, but looked very pretty. Wonderful hotel through and through.

The Renaissance São Paulo is older construction, but mostly well maintained. The decor and furnishings are modern enough that you won’t notice the property’s age at first glance. The good: incredibly helpful staff. The bellboy brought my Rappi order up when the elevator took too long to reach me. The club lounge has amazing views and is not too crowded nor full of out of control children. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Things that could be better: club breakfast is definitely on the greasier side of things. The walls are incredibly thin and you will hear your neighbors singing at 2am should they choose to do that.

Great hotel with an amazing staff. I had a very memorable stay here. Every single employee was responsive to all my needs and requests. The room was very comfortable and clean. The food was very good, and the location can't be much better as Paulista Ave is just a block away. I highly recommend this property, and I will definitely stay there again.

Old building. Generally well maintained. Clean. Comfortable bed and sheets. High floors have great views. Most of the people are great. The hair dryer is better than usual! Huge plus for women. Appreciate it. The lighting in the bathroom isn’t great. The showers are “cabins” - old school, but clean. Drawbacks - there is no heating. They do provide radiators that are good. The elevator waits can be annoying (even through there are 6). The gym is good, in part because it is open to locals to join. It’s always busy when I go and there aren’t really areas for a woman to not be in the middle of all the dudes lifting weights. The bathroom doors often have gaps, which makes so it doesn’t work to steam your clothes while you shower. The breakfast on the restaurant in the lobby is much better than in the club upstairs. The people in the breakfast restaurant are exceptional. Sometimes the rates can be high, and the. I don’t think the value is there. Generally, I like it here. There area is good and nice to walk around with good places to eat.

Always a pleasant stay here. Great security, friendly employees always eager to help. Rooms are very clean with bright white crisp sheets and towels to spare. Rooms are generous in size and nicely decorated. Not a very loud neighborhood so you can open windows all day/night. Rooms have mini fridge, and Nespresso coffee maker but no hotpot. No creamers for coffee and no tea offered. Bathrooms are large with full sized bathtub & bidet. Separate good size shower. Bar & restaurants are very good & prices are reasonable.

Great hotel, amenities were great and I was able to fully take advantage of my Gold Elite status with Marriott Bonvoy. I bought this hotel using my points, which was a lot of fun since I had to pay nothing.

The hotel is very nice. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. But the best feature is definitely the breakfast buffet.
