Hotel Emiliano

Hotel Emiliano is São Paulo's most celebrated luxury boutique hotel — a property that has been recognised consistently among the finest hotels in South America for its design, service, and food. Located on Rua Oscar Freire, Jardins's most upscale shopping street, the Emiliano is within a short walk of Rua Frei Caneca and the heart of São Paulo's gay scene. The hotel is explicitly welcoming of LGBTQ+ guests and has been a preferred address for LGBTQ+ visitors to São Paulo for years — a combination of its location in the gay-friendly Jardins neighbourhood, its inclusive culture, and the fact that its design-forward sensibility attracts a cosmopolitan guest who expects and delivers tolerance as a matter of course. The restaurant — headed by an acclaimed São Paulo chef — is one of the best hotel restaurants in the city. The rooftop pool is a landmark of Jardins. The rooms are individually designed with a Brazilian modernist aesthetic that draws on mid-century furniture design, local materials, and original art. For visitors to São Paulo who want to stay in Jardins at the highest level, the Emiliano is the non-negotiable first choice.
