S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, January 12, 2022 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Encapsulating the city\u2019s storied past and innovative future, the landmark new hotel marks a S\u00e3o Paulo renaissance. Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo officially opened its doors, heralding Rosewood Hotels & Resorts entrance into South America as a new global icon for the ultra-luxury brand. Centrally located in the heart of the vibrant city near the lively Avenida Paulista, Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo is a metropolitan oasis set within the historical enclave of Cidade Matarazzo, a complex of elegantly preserved buildings from the early 20th century that have been carefully transformed into private residences, high-end stores and entertainment venues. Anchoring the 30,000 square-meter mixed-used lifestyle hub, Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo occupies the historic former hospital, Matarazzo Maternity, as well as a striking new vertical garden tower. The transformation of the heritage buildings is rooted in sustainability and makes Cidade Matarazzo Brazil\u2019s largest upcycling project, with a focus on celebrating and protecting the country\u2019s cultural heritage and natural environment.<\/p>\n

Spearheaded by entrepreneur Alexandre Allard, recognized for his involvement in the renaissance of the House of Balmain, and designed by leading international figures including the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel and artistic director Philippe Starck, Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo is a love letter to Brazil, with a majority of the design materials both locally sourced and inspired by the country\u2019s diverse culture. The new hotel is also home to a groundbreaking collection of 450 site-specific artworks, all created in partnership with local artists whose work draws from the multiplicity of the Brazilian experience.<\/p>\n

Featuring 160 guestrooms and suites along with 100 Private Rosewood Suites available for purchase, the hotel\u2019s luxurious accommodations are spread across the restored Matarazzo Maternity and the vertical garden tower. Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo has instilled new life into Matarazzo Maternity, which holds great symbolic significance and sentimental meaning to the city as more than 500,000 Brazilians were born there. As both an emblem of the city\u2019s rich history and a beacon guiding its future, Cidade Matarazzo holds a central place in the hearts of many generations of Paulistanos.<\/p>\n

Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s grounds also encompass the Chapel of Santa Luzia, another historic building that has been carefully restored to retain its ornate architecture from 1922. Throughout the renovation, the chapel\u2019s original foundation revealed pieces of a rich and intricately adorned building that has been carefully refurbished and incorporated into the revived structure. The rebirth of Chapel of Santa Luzia comes timed to its 100-year anniversary as it reopens to a new era where it will continue to be used for weddings and other celebrations of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a true honor to help bring such a unique hotel project to life in one of the world\u2019s most dynamic cities,\u201d said Managing Director, Edouard Grosmangin. \u201cThe team behind Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo has spent a decade on this project to ensure it honors and celebrates the heritage of the city while breathing new life into the destination. In doing so we\u2019ve created a hotel that is a true love letter to the city, the nation, and its people. We look forward to welcoming the world to experience S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s dynamic offerings firsthand and provide the place from which a cultural journey can begin and end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Art, Architecture & Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

In line with Rosewood\u2019s guiding A Sense of Place\u00ae philosophy, wherein the distinctive ethos of the destination is woven into the identity of the hotel, Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s design was inspired by its deep Brazilian roots. Under the artistic direction of Starck, 57 Brazilian artists and artisans came together to produce a permanent collection of art featuring over 450 works. Treating the property like a once-in-a-lifetime art project, the team commissioned artists representing Brazil\u2019s wide range of artist expression, from street art to indigenous art, to create site-specific works for virtually every space in the property. The artists were given just one guideline: creativity that respects the past yet points to the future. The result is that the hotel is in effect Brazil\u2019s next great contemporary art museum, one that celebrates the natural beauty, rich history, and diverse culture of its homeland.<\/p>\n

Throughout the property, art tells different stories of life in Brazil across various mediums including sculpture, paintings, tile work, drawings, textiles and rugs. The entirety of the collection will be cataloged and detailed in a book available for guests and visitors both in rooms and public spaces. This book will tell the in-depth and nuanced narrative behind each project and highlight how each piece fits each into the larger tapestry of Brazil\u2019s creative scene.<\/p>\n

Standout works include hand-painted titles inspired by different flora and fauna of Brazil, created by Brazilian contemporary artist Sandra Cinto, that line the entire rooftop pool and bar area; a powerful graffiti-inspired painting encapsulating one of the maternity building\u2019s corridors created by S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s own beloved street artist Caligrapixo, whose work focuses on capturing urban life in the dynamic city; and the work of up-and-coming artist Virgilio Neto, who created a series of original drawings on the rooftop foyer depicting imagined stories of the life of the beloved historical figure Count Matarazzo. Within the Chapel, Vik Muniz, one of Brazil\u2019s most internationally acclaimed artists, created new glass rosettes inspired by Santa Luzia to replace the original stained glass that was discovered during the restoration of the building. In addition to the stunning beauty of the hotel\u2019s design as a whole, there are nuances and intricate details throughout its design and art that aim to tell specific stories and honor both the heritage buildings and country at large.<\/p>\n

A Focus on Sustainability<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo is committed to preserving Brazil\u2019s natural environment with sustainability as one of the development\u2019s guiding principles. Cidade Matarazzo is one of greenest developments in Brazil and the country\u2019s largest upcycling project, with the project constructed of 100% locally sourced and upcycled materials. Sustainable features executed in the property\u2019s design include a biodiversity program that repopulates the indigenous flora and fauna from the Mata Atlantica rainforest, including 250 trees up to 14 metres in height placed vertically on the Mata Atlantica Tower.<\/p>\n

The property has committed to use 100% renewable energy within a year, including on-site solar panels and renewable-sourced energy. Creating a positive impact on the local community and environment is key to Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s values and goals, and the building has been carefully planned to lessen the footprint wherever possible. The hotel is free of single-use plastics, and utilizes an in-house water filtration system to produce glass bottled water for guest consumption.<\/p>\n

S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Newest Dining Destination<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of a larger culinary renaissance for the destination, Rosewood S\u00e3o Paulo brings six new dining venues to one of the city\u2019s most vibrant neighborhoods. Designed for a variety of different occasions, the hotel\u2019s food and beverage offerings present a resounding and memorable combination of world-class gastronomic experiences served in immersive and unique spaces. The elegant Le Jardin extends from the lobby to the beautiful gardens and is a cozy space bathed in natural light, serving modern cuisine 24 hours a day and providing the perfect setting for a casual lunch or enchanting dinner. Blaise, inspired by French-Swiss novelist Blaise Cendrars, is a more casual brasserie space serving a delicious mix of French cuisine influenced by elements of Brazilian gastronomy. The restaurant\u2019s design highlights the imagination of the novelist who was himself enamored with Brazil and showcases the work of Brazilian artists including hand-designed ceramic tiles by Fernando de La Rocque. As a nod to its location in Matarazzo Maternity, the hand-painted tiles are designed to resemble classical Portuguese tiles but if observed closer, hidden in the composition of the tiles is an image of a woman giving birth. Blaise\u2019s wooden walls are embedded with green stones, each made of glass created through a meticulous technique of polishing Brazilian volcanic stones that is done by the same machines used to cut diamonds. The third restaurant, Taraz, highlights South American cuisine and its share-style menu has been designed by acclaimed Chef Felipe Bronze to showcase the art of wood-fired cooking. The restaurant is located in front of the property\u2019s collection of centenary olive trees and has been decorated by local artists and designers in a more traditional and rustic style, and through its name gives homage to the beloved Brazilian historical figure Count Matarazzo.<\/p>\n

Additional outlets include Rabo di Galo, a jazz bar featuring bespoke libations and classic Brazilian bar snacks alongside live music. The overall design of the bar was inspired by the classic jazz clubs of the 1930s, featuring leather furniture, dark woods and indirect lighting to create an intimate atmosphere. Artist Rodrigo de Azevedo Saad, locally known as Cabelo, spent a total of 68 hours hand drawling on the ceiling of Rabo di Galo, which portrays a certain schizophrenic art resulting in the magical and primitive universe of patterns that repeat themselves. Inspired by the natural beauty of the crystal-clear pools in Brazil\u2019s Bonito municipality, The Emerald Garden Pool & Bar is a restaurant set amidst beautiful tropical greenery offering family-friendly fare. The interior of the pool emulates the emerald shades of the natural pools found in Brazil\u2019s Bonito region and is made of small pieces of tile in 40 different shades of green and blue, creating a unique gradient effect inspired by the colors of the rivers located in Bonito. The restaurant\u2019s coasters and menus were designed by the Brazilian artist and illustrator Walmor Correa, famous for his sketches of imaginary creatures. The pool area is also home to Belavista Rooftop Pool & Bar, an exclusive adults-only space with panoramic views of the city. The entire roof and pool area features wood that is all from Tora Brasil and that has been certified by Brazil\u2019s Forest Stewardship Council as part of the property\u2019s commitment to sustainable development.<\/p>\n
