A
Bold Blend of Modern Design and Local Flair
W

Built on the site of the iconic Teatro Via Funchal, the hotel’s design is a
collaboration between Aflalo/Gasperini Arquitetos, with landscaping from
Benedito Abbud, and interiors by Nini de Andrade Silva. W São Paulo celebrates
Brazilian modernist architecture with angular lines, sinuous curves, and a
vivid color palette with various shades of greens, blues, metallics, and golden
tones. With unique design pieces, rich textures, and organic materials like
Brazilian stone and wood, the hotel creates a playful yet sophisticated
environment that captures the city's cultural essence, offering guests a
seamless fusion of modern luxury and local heritage.
Global
Flavors, Local Ingredients, Unforgettable Dining
The

global culinary journey. Drawing inspiration from the 40th Latitude, the

Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, China, Japan, and the United States, while
seamlessly infusing Brazilian ingredients and culinary techniques. Led by
Executive Chef Thomaz Leão, the restaurant masterfully combines local flavors
with international influences.
