Designed by architect Ruy Ohtake with a distinctive curved slice-of-watermelon silhouette, Hotel Unique rises above Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônio in Jardim Paulista. Its rooftop pool and Skye Restaurant & Bar look out over Ibirapuera Park and the São Paulo skyline.
Hotel Unique rises above Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônio in Jardim Paulista, a short walk from Ibirapuera Park and a ten-minute drive from Avenida Paulista. Designed by architect Ruy Ohtake, its curved, watermelon-slice silhouette makes it one of São Paulo's most recognizable buildings, and the interior carries the same sculptural, design-forward sensibility through public spaces finished in dark wood and stone. Rooms range from Superior Rooms to the Duplex and Presidential Suites, most fitted with rounded windows echoing the exterior form and views over Ibirapuera Park or the city skyline. The rooftop level houses the hotel's signature draw: an oval infinity pool beside Skye Restaurant & Bar, a longstanding fixture of the city's rooftop dining and cocktail scene with panoramic views particularly at sunset. Additional dining includes an all-day restaurant serving Brazilian and international dishes. Wellness facilities include a spa and a fitness center for guests wanting to train during a stay. Service leans toward a design-hotel style, with attentive concierge assistance for restaurant bookings and city orientation, and the location suits both business travelers working near Paulista and leisure visitors focused on Ibirapuera Park and Jardins shopping.
