Watch life go by at Luz Square. If its well-trodden pathways could talk, this historic town square would have plenty of stories to tell.

When you've finished exploring this Bom Retiro public square, why not make your way to Paulista Museum, Municipal Theatre of São Paulo, and Ibirapuera Park? They're not too far from Luz Square and also a favorite with tourists.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (190 reviews)

A dream stay for our family of four and such a steal! This property was truly a dream come true for our family of four two adults and two young girls. The space was spotless, beautifully arranged, and incredibly comfortable. The beds were cozy and gave us great rest after long days out. The amenities were outstanding: from the spacious layout to the stunning views and peaceful atmosphere. Even though we don’t speak Portuguese, the staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. We felt welcome, safe, and taken care of the entire time it was an absolute honor to stay here. There were great food options around, and we appreciated the local tips. And the price? Let me tell you a total bargain for the quality and experience. We would love to return and recommend it 100% to anyone traveling with kids or looking for comfort, beauty, and value.

Staff is amazing, especially Rebecca at the front. Very good location on Paulista. The kids play area was a huge hit with our 2yo son. Highly recommend this hotel for families with young kids, and others.
