Lounges in São Paulo

Bossa Nova & Companhia in Itaim Bibi is one of São Paulo's most elegant jazz and bossa nova lounges — a sophisticated destination presenting live performances of the Brazilian musical genre that changed the world when it emerged from Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema neighborhood in the late 1950s. The lounge's outstanding musical programming and its refined atmosphere create a venue where the extraordinary beauty and sophistication of Brazilian music can be appreciated in appropriate surroundings.

São Paulo has the largest Lebanese diaspora community outside of Lebanon itself, and its extraordinary Arab-Brazilian fusion food and cocktail lounge culture in neighborhoods like Higienópolis reflects this remarkable cultural heritage.

The best São Paulo hotel lounges offer expansive views over the vast São Paulo cityscape, one of the world's most dramatic and densely built urban landscapes.

Terraço Itália on the 41st floor of the Edifício Itália is São Paulo's most iconic rooftop restaurant and lounge — a 1960s-era skyscraper observation bar with 360-degree panoramic views over the entire São Paulo metropolitan area that remains the most spectacular viewpoint in the city of skyscrapers. The Terraço's extraordinary views, its remarkable 1960s modernist architecture, and its historic role as a São Paulo entertainment landmark create a lounge of considerable Brazilian architectural and hospitality heritage significance.

Hotel Fasano São Paulo is the most prestigious luxury hotel in Brazil — a Jardins institution designed by Philippe Starck that has been consistently recognized as the finest hotel in South America, where the cocktail lounge serves as a gathering place for Brazil's creative elite, fashion industry, and international visitors of discernment. The Fasano's extraordinary interior design and its remarkable role as the social salon of sophisticated São Paulo create a hotel lounge of genuine Brazilian luxury hospitality significance.
