t is a combination of the sophistication and warmth of the Paulistanos (as locals are known), with a samba-driven pace, that creates the cosmopolitan aura of São Paulo. The 24-hour city may not sleep, but visitors can lay their heads at the luxurious Tivoli São Paulo-Mofarrej, located at the heart of Jardins in Alameda Santos, near the financial center and the elegant boutiques of Oscar Freire. The property, which opened in 2009, has a celebrated culinary scene, including two-Michelin-star Spanish chef, Sergi Arola’s first restaurant outside Europe. Called Arola Vintetres and on the 23rd floor, it boasts unsurpassed views of the sprawling city and a menu that fuses gourmet cuisine and Brazilian flavors.
