Popular with business travelers, the high-end Hyatt Grand Sao Paulo is a luxurious option not far from the domestic airport and within a 10-minute walk of shopping and dining. The 466 rooms and suites here are comfortable, modern, and up to business luxury standards without being grandiose; those on higher floors have excellent city views. There's also a huge fitness center, spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and seven restaurants and bars featuring cuisine from around the world, as well as Brazilian favorites -- business travelers appreciate not having to leave the hotel in the midst of meetings. All these perks come with a fairly hefty price tag, though, as well as the extra fees levied for Wi-Fi and parking.

Scene
Business-luxury aesthetic with marble, glass, and wood interiors, and the requisite business travelers to enjoy it
From the outside, the Grand Hyatt Sao Paulo blends in well with the numerous corporate towers in the immediate neighborhood, and its interiors fit the expectations of luxury business travelers.The lobby is large and imposing, with light streaming in through floor-to-ceiling windows, and decoration is restricted to light-wood beams and marble countertops. The Grand Hyatt attracts some tourists and lots of business travelers, the latter as a result of the hotel's location near the domestic airport and in a part of town with lots of office buildings. As a result, the gym can get crowded in the mornings, and the restaurants and bars tend to fill up with business travelers rather than locals. Guests staying in Grand Club Rooms -- a popular option for those traveling on an expense account -- have access to the Grand Club Lounge, which feels especially business-oriented as a result.
Location
On a broad avenue near corporate offices and the Octávio Frias de Oliveira Bridge, not far from the domestic airport
The Grand Hyatt is located in the Berrini area, a 10-minute walk from the Morumbi train station. It's on a major thoroughfare in a part of town with a lot of corporate offices. There's a fair bit of commerce within walking distance, some of which is aimed at businesspeople, as well as the enormous Morumbi Shopping Center, with plenty of shopping and dining. The Museum of Art of Sao Paulo takes just under 20 minutes to reach by car. The Sao Paulo International Airport is a 45-minute drive away and the Congonhas Airport, the city's domestic airport, is only 15 minutes away. The hotel offers airport transportation services.
Rooms
Rooms and suites with simple, business-luxury furnishings, some with excellent city views
There are three types of rooms at the Grand Hyatt: Standard, Grand Club, and Suite. All have standard business-luxury decor in neutral shades of cream and tan, punctuated with blonde-wood furnishings. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the city, and rooms on higher floors (including some Standards) have views of the Sao Paolo skyline, the Pinheiros River, and the Octávio Frias de Oliveira Bridge. Rooms and suites come in a variety of bed configurations and have flat-screen TVs, large safes, minibars, and coffeemakers. Grand Club Rooms also have DVD players and come with free Wi-Fi and use of the Grand Club Lounge, which has a private concierge and serves a free breakfast, evening cocktails, and hors d'oeuvres. Suites have all the features and inclusions of Grand Club Rooms, but with larger TVs and separate bedrooms.
Features
Spacious spa and fitness facilities, two pools, and seven restaurants and bars
The fitness center at the Grand Hyatt is the size of a small gym, with plenty of treadmills, elliptical machines, exercise bikes, and a large range of modern weight machines. The spa is equally impressive and offers a variety of treatments -- including couples' massages -- and a large sauna. The hotel has seven bars and restaurants, including a wine library, Japanese restaurant, French restaurant, and several more casual eateries and watering holes that serve classic Brazilian drinks. Wi-Fi and parking (including valet service) are available for a fee. There's also a Grand Club Lounge for guests staying in Suites and Grand Club Rooms, an indoor lap pool, and an outdoor pool with built-in waterfalls and plenty of lounge chairs.
