Try the Renaissance. Not only is it GF, you'll usually find some overpriced GDPs in the lobby bar.

Personally, I prefer Bomboas over Scandellos in terms of the overall experience. I enjoy the supper club atmosphere of Bomboa over the nightclub vibe of Scandellos. While it's true the overall number...

I was in SP last year between Christmas and the new year. While the numbers were down slightly at Scandallo. Bomboa, and Casarao, there was still action enough and plenty of fun to be had. The only...

I was in SP over the holidays last year between 12/16 and 1/1. The boates were closed on NYE. I left on 1/1 so no idea if anything was open on NYD.

The boates are closed on NYE, as well.

Bomboa is far from being a dump. True, the club area itself is far smaller and you sit in one place rather than wander around, but the talent is close to the same league as Scandallo at a...

27-30 will be OK. I was in SP same time period last year (2022). The boates, especially Scandello, weren't very crowded but there was more than enough talent for a good time. The boates will be...

Sure, there's a chance that even if she makes out like a high school girl in heat in the club she'll be a dead fish in the room. But there's a much, much smaller chance that she'll be a dead fish in...

A few more random observations.

First, I provided bad intel about the JW Marriott. Based on responses below, I looked more closely when I stayed there last night, and sure, enough, there's a safe...

Random observations over the last few days.

I stayed a few nights at the JW Marriott. Used to be the Four Seasons and, in fact, Uber shows the pick-up as being the Four Seasons Hotel. The hotel...

I keep my Schwab debit card locked until I am ready to use the ATM, then lock it immediately afterwards. This mitigates the risk of skimming because the chances that the skimmer will try to use the...

Do not use an ATM outside of security at GRU. You can almost guarantee that your card will be skimmed. Use the ATMs that are inside security. Much smaller chance of getting skimmed.

If you need to use an ATM at GRU, use the ATMs located in the baggage area before customs (terminal 3). Not familiar with terminal 2 arrivals. Do not use the ATMs outside security. Almost a guarantee...

Convenience. Same reason I get a drink at the lobby bar instead of venturing out to an entire city worth of much better drinking establishments. When I'm in SP for work, I don't have the time or...

I would, without hesitation, if she was registered to my room. Prostitution is legal in Brazil. First, I would word it a bit more diplomatically. Second, desk clerks have seen it all and they're...

The Ren lobby girls are in the same range as Scandello for pernoite. IME, the hotel tries to be strict about registering them. While it's possible to quickly blow by the desk on the way to the...

IMO, Brazil is the easiest Latin American country to get by with little knowledge of the native language. In most cases there's not as much to negotiate except money. Maybe anal and / or BBFS. Other...

Asking about the girl-friendly status of the SP Renaissance reminds me of an old joke. "The hotel manager called me to ask if I had a girl in my room. I said no, so he sent one up." There are usually...
