The 41 Best Hotel Openings of 2022
Rosewood São Paulo
The fusion of old and new is central to the design of the 160-room Rosewood São Paulo, a collaboration between a powerhouse design team of Jean Nouvel and Philippe Starck. Here, the fully restored historic Matarazzo Maternity ward (home to 46 guestrooms and suites and the hotel’s six restaurants) joins the new Mata Atlantic tower, which is covered in wood and wrapped in 10,000 trees. A highlight: Starck’s bold yet restrained interiors draw attention to the permanent collection of 450 site-specific artworks created by 57 Brazilian artists.
