As for the SIM cards, it's hit or miss. I don't have too much experience with that.

Fuck them. KKK. Check out the Grand Mercure Itaim Bibi or the Gran Estanplaza Berrini. Both hotels are friendly, quality, 4. 35 star hotels that I have stayed at many times. The Itaim Bibi neighborhood is better for restaurants and walking around plus that hotel is 2 blocks from Bomboa. It is absolutely girl friendly.

Hello fellow Vets.
Where do I exchange money in the Sao Paulo?
Usually in Caribbean, Mexico and Colombia I can exchange with small shop inside Colmado/Supermercado in a popular tourist area.
Can I reload / buy data for Claro SIM?
If they don't have claro not sure if a tourist can buy a SIM on Passport.
Thank you Very Much for suggestion / advice.

2. Check out my recommendations in the hotel thread. I have stayed in all the places I write about.
3. Five Star and Four-Star SP hotel prices are going through the roof. You can still find deals occasionally, but you must start your search early and keep searching on a weekly basis until you find something reasonable. I do not consider paying $250/ night and above for the Renaissance, Hilton, or JW Marriott, reasonable, but if you do, the more power to you, in which case you might be interested in Hotel Fasano Jardins or Hotel Fasano Itaim Bibi which are both priced well above $500/ night. I once stayed at the Fasano Ipanema during Omicron back in 2021 for around $125/ night. It was a pretty good hotel. KKK. The hotel restaurant was phenomenal. P.S. I once took an SP MClass escort, my "centerfold," to the Fasano Jardins Hotel restaurant and the tuna dish I ordered was fucking amazing!
4. The way I get around this hotel $$$ issue is by having / using travel Credit Cards that offer annual free night benefits and hotel points. There are some incredible bonus offers for signing up for one of these CC's.
5. On my next trip planned for June / July a good portion of my stays will be at the Hyatt, JW Marriott, and Intercontinental free on points and vouchers. The rest of my SP nights will be spent at comfortable and convenient 4.5 stars for around $100 to $125/ night. I do not know of any SP hotels which are not girl friendly, but always make reservations for 2 persons to avoid any possible issues. As I said, you have to search for these quality hotels early and often if you want a reasonable price. Check out the traveler ratings on Expedia. I have found that any hotel with an 8. 8 overall traveler rating or higher is pretty damn good. I prefer Itaim Bibi and Jardins neighborhoods, but the Berrini area is ok too.

Posts: 19Air BnB Girl Freindly?
Planning a trip to SP and perusing through the thread I gather that there are very few hotels that are girl friendly. I am leaning towards Air BnB with a booking for two adults. Anyone used Air BnB before at SP that has any issues with bringing in girls?
I figured since my booking is for two adults that, bringing in a girl should not be a problem.

To start yes I did read the "hotels" thread. And most all conversation is Moema or after that very outdated.
Staying SP early Sept. I want to stay in central area of SP, Itaim Bibi, Jardin or Paulista. Need advice on more upscale hotels that are GF or reasonable additional fee. Marriott's or Hilton like will do. Yes I did see thread on Marriott Exec Apts and looking at -- seems like all smoking rooms which make me gag. I do not take street hookers to hotels. Girls will be dressed decently and behave.

Hi Willie Wonkers.
Thanks for reaching out and offering help on Curitiba.
Planning to go in April and preparing for that. Reasonably familiar with the game in Rio and in SP. What are the cool places to go in Curitiba. We know only one club called "Sense". What are your recommendations? The Curitiba board is so empty and outdated now.

I sometimes just ask them and 8 out of 10 say yes, some want extra and some don't.
