I think when the fellow ISG'ers have a different definition of girl friendly. To me, GF means the girl can walk straight up to the room w / o a elevator key card, or reception ID check, or reception calling you for visitor, or security guard gatekeeper. Thats not the case here for this hotel! I am coming to think there are no hotels like this in SP. If you wish to avoid all the above, you need to book a lush motel and meet the girl there, which is not convenient.

Posts: 29Hotels that don't require key cards and close to SCD
I am sitting in Scandello on a Thursday night writing this report / inquiry. The ride from Moema (Mercure Times Square, my hotel) to Scandello is horrible. It takes 30+ minutes due to heavy traffic. I have gone every day this week, and the traffic is always there. Plus the Mercure requires cards for their elevators, which sucks as it make it weird to bring girls to your room with a small lobby. The funny thing is when I booked the receptionist on the phone clarified there was no card entry. This is obviously not true! Anyways, hoping for some personal suggestions from fellow ISG'ers on hotels (no airbnb please) that are a short cab ride away and DON'T require card entry to hotel nor elevator.

I like places in Moema, one bedroom, with a kitchen, coffee maker, guest bathroom for the garotas, and soundproof windows.

Posts: 1332 FA, Airplane noise, hotel
Stayed at Bourbon So Paulo Ibirapuera Convention Hotel *in Moema. In my opinion, THE most important consideration when staying in Moema is soundproof rooms. I can confirm the rooms are soundproof. I stayed at other places in Moema including Airbnb, suites, and apartments, and regret not checking first about the soundproof room. Waking up at 0600 am sharp because the small jets taking off from CGH suck.
Bourbon is a damn busy business hotel with meetings and families. My criteria were peaceful sleep over taking chicas and garotas back to the room. I did clinicas. The superior room is as good as the Executive room. I never woke up in time for breakfast nor care about it. The front desk is competent, busy people, and the day shift: and night shift need retraining.
After a serious night of drunken partying at Scandallo at 0400 am I left my iPhone in the Uber. Realized it when got to the hotel room. To recharge iPhone. Frak, many of the apps including Uber require 2 FA by mobile phone number. I had no alternate way to sign in from my laptop due to 2 FA. That sucked. Finally found one of my old email accounts with no 2 FA to sign in, emailed, and alerted Uber.
Very good customer service response by Uber. The driver woke up at 0500 am to bring back my iPhone. The stupid night shift at the hotel told him I wasn't there in the hotel, they did not know the name, blah, blah. The driver went back home with my phone. I nearly blew a gasket after finding out he returned to the hotel at 0500 an and the night shift turned him away. Over the next 24 hours, frantic trying to reconnect with the Uber, driver.
After a while, I said frak it walked over to Prime on Sunday afternoon to console myself with a Duplo with Karen and Camilla. Damn, Camilla is great. A deepthroat sloppy BBBJ skills. I used cash as always. Could not risk getting the occasional text of a security verification alert while using a credit card. After an exhausting session walked to the hotel. Checked with the front desk.
Lo and behold my iphone was returned. The dayshift team smartly figured if a Uber driver is returning an expensive iPhone the person will show up. I gave the front desk gal a big hug, then immediately signed into my apps to turn off the 2 FA for text or mobile and kept only sending by email.
The phone and data were backed up, of course, the 2 FA was a frustrating part about losing my iPhone and those incompetent night shift team for not accepting the damn iPhone when the driver returned the first time.

I stayed there pretty cheap!
Hyatt negatives: location, location, location. Not only is it a long ride to places like Scandallo, but the neighborhood surrounding the hotel is commercial and very uninteresting. There is a big fancy mall 4 or 5 blocks away, but the Hyatt neighborhood vibe is a big fat zero compared to staying in the Itaim Bibi or Jardin neighborhoods. The view from those Hyatt rooms facing north is iconic.
The bottom line is I like this hotel and it is one of my favorite hotels in SP despite its location.

Posts: 516Grand Hyatt
I am getting mixed signals about this hotel. I'm considering staying there since other people here have said its GF, but I just wrote to them and they said they charge 150 reals for visitors. Even if I book for 2, I'm a bit worried they would still charge me for having more than 1 visitor during my stay. Anyone have experience with this?
