Rosewood São Paulo: Visiting Brazil’s most luxurious hotel

This 5-star hotel deserves a standing ovation

Tower at Rosewood SP, Brazil

As someone from humble beginnings, I’ve grown a deep appreciation for the finer things in life, especially when it comes to traveling. Brazil is one of those countries that executes luxury travel exceptionally well, mixing it with deep cultural roots, genuine hospitality, and an impressive list of things to do in every city. So, I can’t say I was surprised to find out that the most impressive hotel in all of Latin America is located in São Paulo, the country’s biggest city. Meet: Rosewood, São Paulo.

Now, a 6-star rating is one of those things that people say, but it isn't based on an official rating system. If any hotel were to receive an extra star on the usual 5-star rating, it would be this one. Two nights and three days at this stunning hotel made it easy for me to confirm: Yes, the location is truly worthy of all the hype and then some. If anything, this may be a property that deserves to be on everyone’s bucket list. Below, I’ll get into the things that make the Rosewood São Paulo a destination that’s truly one of a kind.

You’re really going to like this Airbnb change

Users will now see all costs associated with their stay

Airbnb

We’ve all had it happen: you find an enticing price on Airbnb, only to be hit with a stack of unexpected fees at checkout. But that frustrating guessing game is officially over. Starting this week, Airbnb has rolled out a global update that displays the total price of a stay, including all fees before taxes, right from the beginning of the booking process.

The move is part of Airbnb’s broader push for transparency and guest trust, following years of feedback from users frustrated by the lack of upfront clarity around service charges, cleaning fees, and other add-ons. Now, what you see is much closer to what you’ll actually pay, with no surprises at the end.
