George V Casa Branca — Hotel in Região Imediata de São Paulo

Just home from four nights at this hotel in Sao Paulo. A lovely location in one of the city's most posh districts, loads of designer shops, upmarket restaurants and bars, and quiet leafy streets. Still only a few minutes by taxi to most of the city's best attractions. The room was a full sized two-bedroom/two bath apartment, well furnished and comfortable. Very highly recommended. My only slight "spoiler" is that they do not provide coffee in the guest rooms, except enough for one guest on the first day. There is a good Nespresso machine provided, but they charge a high price to provide coffee on the second, third or fourth day. I suggested to the management that providing at least one coffee per guest per day would be good policy, but this was politely declined, and I instead paid quite a lot for the privilege of having coffee in our room each morning. The reception staff are unfailingly polite and helpful, providing us with expert assistance in booking events, and always doing their best to make our stay a rich experience. English is spoken at reception, and even amongst those who were not fluent, always great effort to be helpful. On balance, we would stay again, and will of course make it our first choice when again visiting this magnificent city. Incidentally, do not be put off by those who say Sao Paulo is unsafe for visitors. Our experience was of a city which is vibrant, fun, unpretentious, and at least as safe as other major world...

Second time in a month, I’m here for business, however my son have accompanied me on this trip. |The location could not be better, it’s only ten minutes to get pretty much anywhere I want to go. Wonderful neighborhood. |We are in a very large suite, we each have our space and my son is sleeping comfortably on the fold out couch. He also has his own bathroom.|Love my bed, the amazing closet where I can meticulously organize my belongings. |Bathroom is the same and I highly appreciate a shower and a bathroom. |The kitchen is very well equipped even though we are happy to discover all the great places to eat in the neighborhood. |I almost forgot to mention the wonderful terrace. |Front desk is top, they are incredibly helpful and kind. |Breakfast is excellent, and the friendly staff makes it a wonderful start in your day. |The business center is very well appointed and it has a computer and printer. |The rooftop is fantastic, not only you can sunbathe and swim, and you can get a sauna as well. The gym was super clean and well equipped. |George V Casa Blanca is my home from now on when I return to São Paulo, therefore I’m very confident...

The positives:|Great room with clever use of space and amenities. Large and spacious and great for a family.|An easy 5 minute walk to Rua Oscar we Ferreira.|Negatives:|Not an international hotel. Staff can't converse in English making it very difficult to get advice or directions. No assistance with taxis or anything else.|They also insisted at check in breakfast was included despite my disbelief as I recollected booking without breakfast. However after the check in person 're confirming 3x I then ate at the limited buffet and was stuck with the breakfast bill and an obstinate check out person who refused to help.|Super annoying start to our holiday. If you don't speak Portuguese reccomend you don't stay here. Select an international chain or a true...
