Staays

You won't be bored in this beautiful Brazilian retreat, set just outside São Paulo’s city centre. The European-style hotel – from the team at Oetker – lures in high-flying travellers to its stay-put space. Active goers love first-light swims in the outdoor pool, claiming a lane in the semi-Olympic indoor heated pool or losing time within the Lancôme spa. Second-to-none service makes your stay a breeze, whether you're off sightseeing or taking time to recoup, relax, and rejuvenate with six courses at Michelin-star Tangará Jean-Georges Restaurant. There's even a Kid's Club to occupy the youngsters, too. All rooms have views of Burle Marx Park – it’s unexpectedly green and leafy, so it’s easy to forget you’re in one of the busiest cities in the world.
