Emiliano Sao Paulo
Design-forward urban boutique. Minimalist and understated, with standout art pieces — including a Siron Franco 'Cocoon' sculpture in the lobby — and clever architectural gestures like the all-glass penthouse Cube Suite. Sophisticated without being stiff.
Request a room with a French balcony specifically when booking — not all rooms have one and the hotel won't always assign one by default
Why It Matters
One of São Paulo's original luxury boutique hotels and still among its finest. A founding member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World's Finest Collection. The penthouse Cube Suite — a glass cube with a private plunge pool and 180-degree city panorama — is one of the most talked-about hotel rooms in South America. The weekend brunch is a citywide institution. And the Santapele Spa, with its Japanese soaking tubs and vertical living garden wall, punches well above the hotel's small footprint.
A narrow glass tower on São Paulo's most fashionable shopping street, Oscar Freire, the Emiliano has been setting the pace for luxury hospitality in the city since it opened in June 2001. The vibe is sleek minimalism — polished blonde wood, mid-century modern furniture, Carrara marble bathrooms — with warm Brazilian service layered on top. It's a small hotel with 56 rooms across 22 floors, and that intimacy is a big part of the appeal: the butler team knows your name, not just your room number.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Cube Suite
The hotel's showstopper. A glass cube sits on the penthouse level, delivering a 180-degree panoramic view across São Paulo's skyline. The living room has a private acclimatized plunge pool right in the center, a dining table for four, and double-height ceilings. The king bedroom is on a mezzanine level with a Victorian-style bathtub integrated into the room. Every detail is automated — lighting scenes, air conditioning, motorized curtains. Can be combined with the adjacent Executive Suite to create a 220 sqm (2,368 sqft) two-floor configuration.
King · 135 sqmDeluxe King
The entry-level room at the Emiliano, and still genuinely spacious by São Paulo standards. Blond wood finishes, a workstation, and a Carrara marble bathroom with pressure massage shower. Allergy-friendly, with soundproof windows. Espresso maker, minibar, and complimentary bottled water included. City views available.

Two Queens · 42 sqmEmiliano Suite
84 sqm of polished comfort with a separate living room, workstation, and a king bedroom featuring a freestanding Victorian-style bathtub. The bathroom is integrated into the room — an elegant touch that's become something of a signature for the property. Sleeps up to 4.
