Very handy for Avenida Paulista and metro, but in a quieter tree lined street two short blocks away. Also airport bus dropped us off just a few blocks from hotel. It would have been helpful if the hotel staff could have told us that the bus company for a bus to Paraty, where we were heading to from Sao Paolo, is Reunidas and that you can definitely buy your bus ticket from the Rodaviaria bus Terminal at the Portuguesa -Tiete metro station. We were directed to the other bus terminal by a lady at the desk, who, to be fair, was only trying to help us. But we then went all the way there in the metro, to find out that we had to go to the other bus station. So wasted almost an hour. Also, no one at the hotel informed us that, if you're over 60 years old, you can travel free on the metro,bus and train in Sao Paolo. After two metro trips, I decided to ask an employee in the metro station if there was a concession price and he informed me about the free transport. At least we benefited from a few free trips after that! Other than that, hotel staff very helpful and courteous.
