World-Class Design and Gastronomy in a Picturesque Neighborhood
From the moment you arrive, it is quite clear, given the stunning nautically inspired architecture, Hotel Unique is beyond compare. This sense of distinction, of approaching the hotel experience in a novel way, continues inside with suites featuring flooring that curves up and transforms into a wall, along with a pool that boasts a unique water slide. As you sample eclectic dishes at the rooftop restaurant and bar, browse art and design books in the library, and work out with a personal trainer at the fitness center, it becomes clear why Condé Nast Traveler named this urban sanctuary the Best Hotel in South America. Hotel Unique more than lives up to its name.
- Stay in style at one of the 94 spacious and contemporary guestrooms and suites

Hotel Unique appears as if a gargantuan cruise liner has docked among the skyscrapers of São Paulo. What’s inside is even more surprising, with highlights that include circular windows in guestrooms and a bar that is home to a 60-ft wall decorated with rows of gin, whisky, vodka, and rum. The crown jewel is the rooftop sundeck, with its unusually colored crimson pool and panoramic views of São Paulo.
Hotel Amenities
Accommodations
With a clean, modern design, Hotel Unique’s 94 guestrooms and suites offer stylish, sophisticated living quarters for your stay in São Paulo. Every detail, from the creative lighting fixtures and the Trussardi 300-thread-count bed sheets to the bathrooms featuring see-through glass partitions, has been carefully considered to deliver an inimitable experience. Additional novel aspects include circular windows and, in each of the suites, the hotel’s signature “infinite” flooring, where the wooden floor seamlessly curves up into the wall.
The guestrooms are cozy, with workstations and Nespresso coffee machines, while each of the four types of suites — Broadway, Rodeo Drive, Champs-Élysées, and Oasis — deliver grandeur and separated living areas. The latter is especially lavish. Featuring 3,552 sq ft of space, there is a dining area, a living room, a library, and a sundeck, complete with a Jacuzzi.
Upon arrival, you are welcomed with a fizzing glass of Champagne while taking in the hotel’s striking architecture. A 24-hour concierge team and available room service menu cater to your travel plans as well as your late-night cravings. Luxury Ipanema sandals and Trussardi bathrobes can be found in all accommodations. Small dogs and cats are welcome, with food bowls and other amenities provided if requested.
