I just returned from a trip to Sao Paulo and stayed in this hotel for 11 nights. Overall, it was…read moreok. There are some highs & lows. A quick summary: Pros: -Centrally located -Large rooms / bathrooms -Very good restaurants -Great staff -gym has good free weights / cable machines / smith machine Cons: -Rooms are VERY loud -gym doesn't open until 6:30am -main car entrance to hotel is closed so ubers and taxis have to go around the block to get to the alternative entrance -pipes get so hot that even on the coldest setting on some days the water is too hot to shower -they don't provide washcloths (this one shocked me...i felt dirty for 11 days)

Ok so they do have a gym and super friendly staff but you may want to consider a Hilton property.read more

Great location- taxis right out front, bus stop very close. Lots of restaurants in area and a good…read moresupermarket as well. Staff- very friendly and helpful. Always courteous and accommodating. Breakfast- great fresh selection. Varied as well, not the same thing everyday. Clean rooms, good views and hot showers (not always available in Brasil). Little things like free bottle of water and a chocolate in room daily makes this hotel great. Wifi worked great. Wifi was the hardest thing to find in this country, and it worked great here. I would definitely stay here again

My traveling companions and I were very happy with this hotel. We were in Sao Paulo this Feb for a…read morewedding, and this Melia made for an excellent base of operations for all of the following reasons: * Big rooms with lots of natural light. My end of the hall room even had a porthole for observing the neighborhood while I was in the shower. * Clean room, comfortable bed that was a real US-King-size. Often times I've found beds in Brazil to be hard and not all that large (yeah, I know kids... that's what she said...) * Carries the Brazil tradition of having a stocked mini-bar containing snacks and drinks that were priced such that you don't need a home equity loan to finance a late-nite fridge raid. * Mostly clear pool on the roof. During a Sao Paulo summer, a pool is absolutely essential. * Great surrounding neighborhood, safe, with lots of bars and restaurants we enjoyed. Reviews to follow. * Friendly staff and good drinks in the lobby bar. * I think it was only about US$110 a night. When in Sao Paulo again, I'll stay here again. Trust me, when in Brazil -- or anywhere in the world -- you can do much, much worse.

Very good hotel in the central area of Jardims in Sao Paulo. The rooms are well equipped, even…read moreluxurious. The whole place is very clean and well managed. Bar and restaurant offer good drinks and food and the breakfast buffet provides plenty! I can recommend this place.

First time in this hotel and it is extremely nice. Although I Only was able to stay for one night,…read morethey staff was extremely accommodating. I was able to get both an iron and an adapter plug as I travelled with the incorrect one on this trip. Nice area for the included breakfast as well as a beautiful hallway in lobby of local paintings for sale right before going into the other restaurant they have on the ground floor. They also have a nice section in lobby to purchase cafe, and the hotel is directly across the street from a very large mall. Also to note that the hotel cab service here is very comparable in price to Uber. That is a great thing

Somewhat recently renovated. I believe they renovated it when they changed name to bourbon…read more Room are nice and modern. Can't beat location. Near lots of shops and restaurants. There is a big shopping mall next door. It can get a bit expensive if booked with short notice. Otherwise you can find around 90 dollar rates. Fridge in room was a bit noisy and would let me sleep. I had to turn it off. They didn't make my room the first night. Internet is free but works intermittently. Breakfast buffet is ok. Nothing special.

I stayed here for 16 days while in a business trip. The room was of good size and amenities. They…read morehave reliable wi-fi in the rooms as well as the fitness center. The elevator is key card protect so you can only go up if you have a room key. The roof top pool was nice and relaxing and the fitness center had enough equipment to keep my occupied. The room service was good, I especially liked the hamburger with cheese and bacon. If I ever travel back to this area I will be sure to stay at this hotel. The reason it did not receive 5 stars was because the laundry service took a long time to return my cloths.
