SAO PAULO, Brazil -- The 485-room Hilton Sao Paulo Morumbi opened
in South America's largest city and Brazil's major commercial
center.
The $90 million hotel, owned and operated by Hilton, occupies
the third tower of the Centro Empresarial Nacoes Unidas business
complex and represents Hilton International's largest investment in
Latin America, where the company now has 12 properties, four of
them in Brazil.
Designed with the traveling executive in mind, guest-rooms
feature a living area and a work area with dual-line phones and
Internet access.
On premises are 80 executive-floor rooms and 16 one- and
two-bedroom residential suites, each with a kitchen and a living
room.
Other features of interest to the business traveler are the
hotel's 13,000 square feet of flexible meetings facilities and a
helipad adjacent to the hotel. Located rooftop is the
glass-enclosed Livingwell spa and a fitness center.
The hotel brings something a little different to the table in
its three new restaurants, including the art-themed Canvas,
designed to replicate a working art studio, with huge works of art
on stretched canvases suspended from 45-foot ceilings.
Other dining areas are the Sol & Sombra, with interior and
terrace dining space for breakfast and light meals, and the Caffe
Cino, which serves breads, sandwiches, empanadas and pastries to
accompany a variety of Brazilian coffees.
Through Feb. 23, the Hilton Sao Paulo Morumbi is offering an
introductory rate of $159 per night, single or double, plus
taxes.
