The Emiliano stands for pure luxury. Situated on São Paulo’s finest shopping street, Rua Oscar Freire, the hotel features airy rooms with designer furniture, high-speed internet access, a state-of-the-art home theater system and a “mini spa” in the bathroom.

In fact, the Emiliano’s main spa is the jewel in its crown. Built at the very top of the building to feng shui specifications, it offers a marvelous view of the city. Its amenities include a marble pool and a treatment center where guests can enjoy massages, full body solutions and various other forms of alternative therapy, as well as a bathing room with Japanese tubs, a sauna with a flat-screen television and bathrooms with massage pressure showers.

And visitors are no in danger of going hungry, either: the Emiliano’s acclaimed restaurant serves a mix of Brazilian and international cuisine.

You’ll come away from the Emiliano with a lighter pocket—but feeling thorougly pampered.
