Zona Sul, Sao Paulo hotel rooms at the Independent

"Stayed at the JW Marriott Sao Paolo for 5 nights on our first ever visit to Brazil - and this was a fabulous start to the holidays. Room was spacious with a great view. Had all the amenities expected of a 5-star hotel, strong WiFi and was within 45 mins drive from the GRU airport (was R$155-R$192/CA$40-$50 one way fare). Uber is plentiful, arriving within a few mins and relatively cheap for transport anywhere for sightseeing. The lobby is beautiful with a very pleasant fragrance as you enter the space. We really appreciated the night manager Richard, who was quick with responses and made sure we were looked after well with a seamless experience, even as we got in with a very late flight almost at the end of the midnight check-in time. We also had access to the 12th floor VIP lounge for breakfast and afternoon happy hour. The lounge had friendly service but breakfast was very light, so we ended up going for breakfast in the lobby Neto restaurant (included with the room booking). Restaurant's breakfast was standard hot items, fruits, bakery and dairy items every day but they have a made-to-order menu with selection of Western, Brazilian and Asian options. Dhonne was our friendly, helpful and attentive server who greeted us with a bright smile each day. We definitely used the lounge for the happy hour which was excellent with appetizers, soup, wines, beer, and soft drinks and a peaceful view of the Pinheiros river. This was a very welcome perk after a day of sight seeing. Ove"

"Quarto amplo e muito bem organizado, limpo. Roupas de cama e toalhas de otima qualidade Fomos muito bem recebidos pela equipe de recepção. Chegamos de madrugada por conta de atraso no voo, mas ainsa assim fomos muito bem recebidos. Fica bem proximo ao aeroporto de congonhas, cerca de 5 minutos de carro"

"Honestly, the room/apartment itself isn’t very spacious. It’s compact, but ideal for one person. In my case, I basically stayed just to shower and sleep one night before an early flight, and it was extremely convenient because I was at the airport in less than 5 minutes (traffic included). I absolutely loved the bed… I hadn’t slept that well in a long time. I highly recommend it and have already favorited this apartment to stay again and for longer stays. The cost-benefit was excellent, and I loved the experience. It met my needs 100%. I’ll admit I was a bit hesitant at first because I received a message asking for an ID to complete the check-in. But honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. It was AMAZING. I arrived, my face was recognized immediately at the entrance, I got in without any issues, and that only added even more value to the experience. Congratulations!"
