An unusable 7th floor (because noise from the room penetrates the ceiling), a hopeless front desk who don't know their way around Sao Paulo and who say the hotel is full when it isn't. Choose a hotel on what it looks like at your peril, it's what is inside that counts and whilst Unique's rooms are comfortable and modern, the... more

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for one night as part of a longer trip to Brazil. I had heard about the hotel so we decided to splash out and see what it was all about. I was very impressed with check in. Champagne and english speaking staff.. something of a rare event in Brazil.The lobby is very... more

The hotel is out of an interiors design magazine . Super cool and trendy , but not luxurious. The prices are very high for the real value of the services. Amazing and breathtaking views of Sao Paulo from the roof terrace pool. The location is bad : you always need a $10 taxi ride to go to the boutiques and... more

I stayed at Hotel Unique for a long weekend and it was by far the best hotel experience I've ever had. I go to Brazil every year and let's face it, most brazilian hotels are mediocre at best, but this hotel totally blew my socks off. Every facet of the hotel impressed me, from the odd watermelon shaped hotel structure,... more

Ok so the building might look a bit like half a watermelon but don't let that put you off. Arrive - Dirty Vegas followed by Doves playing on the excellent reception sound system - no cheesy "musak" here. Glass of champagne. Easy check-in. Hotel going for the uber-cool approach. Only spoit by a couple of very wasted clubbers collapsed in... more

From the massive doors introducing one to the soaring lobby with a magnificent tour-de-force architectural shock high above (I won't divulge it because it's such a terrific surprise) and it's sleek, highly modern bar to the sumptuous bed and the ultra-modern furnishings and bathroom, the Unique more than earns its name. Every consideration has been given to artistic sensibility (which... more

We stayed 4 nights on a great suite over looking the chaotic sao paulo. The hotel is situated on a nice area. The suite we had was very up to standards, with a nice spacious luxurious bathroom. The quality of the service was excellent and the staff were very helpful. The sky bar and restaurant at the top floor were... more

The Hotel Unique is cool looking, but some of the little details were off in comparison to a place like the Hotel Emiliano. For example, your room is supposed to come with a fresh coconut, but I had to ask for one, and it wasn't replenished the next day. When I ordered acai with granola for breakfast (a Brazilian staple),... more

wow wow..you cannot really overstate how amazing this place is. A glass of champagne at check in, seriously trandy uniforms and architecture to die for....The penthouse 'Sky Bar' is truely amazing, full of 'paulistas' upper echelons drinking cocktails and the sushi was incredible......expensive but worth every us$. more
