Rosewood São Paulo occupies the restored Cidade Matarazzo complex in Bela Vista, combining a 1920s hospital building with a new tower designed by Jean Nouvel. The property holds an extensive art collection, several restaurants, and gardens within a former industrial estate near Avenida Paulista.
Rosewood São Paulo occupies the restored Cidade Matarazzo complex on Rua Itapeva in the Bela Vista district, a five-minute drive from Avenida Paulista and within walking distance of Parque Trianon and the Museu de Arte de São Paulo. The property combines a 1920s former maternity hospital building, saved from demolition and restored under the design direction of Philippe Starck, with a new residential-style tower designed by architect Jean Nouvel that rises above landscaped gardens on what was once an industrial textile estate. The result is a mix of preserved Art Deco details, tropical courtyards, and contemporary interiors displaying a rotating collection of Brazilian and international art. Accommodation ranges from Deluxe Rooms in the historic wing to expansive suites in the tower, including the Mata Atlantica Suite, Tower Suite, and the signature Cidade Matarazzo Suite, several with private terraces overlooking the gardens or the surrounding Bela Vista skyline. Dining is spread across multiple restaurants and bars within the complex, spanning contemporary Brazilian cuisine, an all-day brasserie, and a garden bar, with breakfast served amid the art collection or on outdoor terraces. Wellness facilities include a spa housed in part of the former hospital building, an outdoor swimming pool set among palm trees, and a fitness center equipped for both cardio and strength training. The hotel also operates event and meeting spaces used for corporate functions and social occasions, drawing on its scale within the wider Cidade Matarazzo development. Concierge staff are accustomed to arranging itineraries for both business travelers working along the nearby Avenida Paulista corridor and leisure guests visiting São Paulo's museums, restaurants, and cultural venues, with a service style that emphasizes privacy, personalization, and access to the property's own cultural programming.
